Exterior Remodeling & Window Replacement in Beloit, WI
Wilco Exteriors replaces worn-out windows for Beloit homeowners, along with roofs, siding, gutters, soffit and fascia, and exterior doors. If your windows fog up, rattle in the wind, or let cold air creep across the floor, we’ll help you choose energy-efficient replacements that fit your house and your budget. The same goes for a roof that’s past its prime or siding that’s seen better days. It starts with a free inspection and an honest look at what your home actually needs.
Window Replacement in Beloit, WI
Maybe you’ve started keeping a sweater by the couch because the living room never warms up. Maybe there’s a window upstairs you gave up on opening years ago, or a pane so cloudy you can barely see the yard through it. Those small annoyances usually mean the windows are near the end of their working life.
Wilco is a window replacement contractor that installs energy-efficient vinyl and fiberglass windows measured to fit your home’s openings. We’ll look at every window, tell you which ones need replacing now, and point out any that can wait.
What We Hear From Homeowners
These are the issues we see most often when homeowners call us about replacement windows:
“I can feel air coming in around the frame.” Drafts and cold spots that make certain rooms uncomfortable all winter.
“It won’t stay open.” Or it won’t close all the way, or the lock no longer lines up.
“There’s fog between the glass.” A failed seal that no amount of cleaning will fix.
“The frames are falling apart.” Soft wood, peeling paint, or vinyl that’s gone brittle and cracked.
“That room is always too hot or too cold.” Especially rooms with a lot of glass or a southern or northern exposure.
“The windows make the house look old.” Worn, mismatched, or dated windows that drag down the rest of the exterior.
New windows fix these problems at the source. A properly installed replacement window seals tightly against the opening, and a modern insulated glass package slows the transfer of heat in both directions. That means fewer drafts, fewer cold spots near the glass, and a heating and cooling system that isn’t fighting the house all year.
Everyday use gets easier too. Sashes glide instead of stick, locks engage the way they’re supposed to, and many styles tilt in so you can clean both sides from indoors.
And because windows are so visible from the street, replacing old ones is one of the quickest ways to freshen up a home’s appearance. Taking care of failing frames now also keeps moisture from working its way into the wall around them.
Replacement Window Options for Your Home
Different rooms need different things from a window. A bedroom might need good airflow, a kitchen might need a window you can reach over the sink, and a living room might be all about the view. During your inspection, we’ll go room by room and help you choose what makes sense.
Double-Hung Replacement Windows
A good fit for bedrooms and main living spaces, and for homes with a traditional look. You can lower the top sash or raise the bottom one to control airflow, and tilt-in sashes make cleaning simple.
Sliding Replacement Windows
Ideal where lifting a sash is awkward, like over a sink or behind furniture. Sliders glide sideways on a track and work especially well in wide, short openings.
Picture Windows
The right call when you want light and a clear view more than ventilation. Many homeowners pair a large picture window with operating windows on each side.
Custom-Fit Replacement Windows
Older homes often have openings that don’t match standard sizes. Every window we install is built to your measurements, so it fits snugly and seals properly.
Vinyl or Fiberglass
Vinyl is low-maintenance and budget-friendly. Fiberglass costs more but stays especially stable through hot and cold swings. We’ll help you decide which one fits your home and plans.
What to Expect During Window Replacement
We keep the process simple and make sure you know what’s happening at each step.
Free Consultation and Estimate
We start by coming out to your home and hearing what’s bothering you, whether it’s one stubborn window or drafts in every room. There’s no cost and no obligation. You’ll leave the conversation with a clearer idea of your options and what the project could look like.
Evaluating Your Existing Windows
We check each window’s frame, glass, seal, and hardware, and look for moisture damage around the opening. Then we explain what we found in plain terms, including which windows are due for replacement and which still have some life left in them.
Choosing Your Replacement Windows
Next, we walk through styles, materials, and glass options together and take exact measurements of each opening. You’ll receive a written quote that spells out what’s included before anything is ordered, so there are no surprises later.
Preparing for Installation
When your windows are ready, we’ll set an installation date that works for you. We’ll also let you know what to do beforehand, like moving furniture back from the windows and taking down blinds or curtains, so installation day goes smoothly.
Replacement Window Installation
Our crew takes out the old windows one at a time, prepares each opening, and installs and seals the new units. If removing an old window reveals rotted framing, we’ll stop, show you the problem, and talk through how to handle it before continuing.
Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
Once the last window is in, we clean the work areas and haul away the old units and debris. Then we go through the house with you, opening, closing, and locking each new window so you know everything works the way it should.
Many window projects are wrapped up within a day or two. Bigger homes, larger orders, or repairs to damaged framing can add time, and we’ll give you a realistic schedule during your estimate.
Roofing Services in Beloit, WI
A Wisconsin roof goes through a lot in a single year. Snow sits on it for weeks, ice builds up along the eaves, spring and summer storms bring wind and heavy rain, and temperatures swing enough to stress shingles, flashing, and sealants over time. Eventually that wear shows up as leaks, missing shingles, or a roof that simply looks tired.
Wilco Exteriors provides residential roofing services for Beloit homeowners, including roof inspections, storm damage assessments, roof replacement, and new roof installation. As your roofing contractor, we focus on finding out what’s really going on with your roof before recommending any work, and then doing the job carefully from tear-off to cleanup.
Roof Inspections
Some roof problems are obvious, like a water stain spreading across the ceiling. Others hide for years. A roof inspection is the best way to catch trouble early and figure out how serious it is.
Homeowners typically call us for an inspection when their roof is getting older, when shingles have blown off or cracked, after a heavy storm, or when they notice a leak and can’t tell where it’s coming from. We examine the shingles, flashing around chimneys and vents, the roof edges, and signs of deterioration or storm damage, and we document what we find.
The goal is to pinpoint the source and extent of any problem before recommending a fix. Sometimes that means a targeted repair. Sometimes it means planning for a replacement. Either way, you’ll get a straight answer.
Roof Replacement and Installation
Repairs make sense up to a point. Once a roof has widespread curling or cracked shingles, bare spots where granules have worn away, repeated leaks, or soft areas in the deck, patching one spot after another usually costs more over time than starting fresh. Age matters too. A roof nearing the end of its expected lifespan is often better replaced on your schedule than after a storm forces the issue.
Our roof replacement process is built around doing each layer right:
Removing existing roofing materials down to the deck
Inspecting the roof deck and replacing damaged sections
Installing underlayment and waterproofing, with extra protection along vulnerable areas like eaves and valleys
Installing your new asphalt shingle roofing system, along with flashing and ventilation components
Cleaning up and completing a final inspection of the finished roof and your property
Throughout the project, you’ll know what’s happening and when. We’ll help you pick shingle colors and styles that suit your home and explain your options in plain language.
More Exterior Services for Beloit Homeowners
Siding Replacement
Siding is your home’s first defense against rain, snow, and wind. When panels warp, crack, come loose, or fade unevenly, water can slip behind them and damage the sheathing underneath. New siding restores that protection and gives the whole house a fresh, finished look. As a siding contractor, we’ll help you choose a style and color that suit your home and handle the installation from start to finish.
Gutter Replacement
Gutters that overflow, leak at the joints, or pull away from the fascia let water pour down your siding and pool near your foundation. We install seamless gutters with fewer seams for leaks to start and sized to move water off your roof and away from your home.
Soffit/Fascia Replacement
Soffit covers the underside of your roof overhang, and when vented, it lets air flow into the attic to help control moisture and heat. Fascia runs along the roof edge, supports your gutters, and seals out weather and pests. Replacing damaged soffit and fascia protects your roofline and cleans up your home’s appearance.
Door Replacement
An entry door that sticks, lets in drafts, or doesn’t latch securely is more than an annoyance. We replace entry and patio doors with options that seal better, operate smoothly, and give your home a more welcoming look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Watch for drafts you can feel near the frame, fog between the panes, sashes that stick or won’t lock, and frames that are soft, cracked, or peeling. If more than one of those applies, it’s worth having the windows evaluated.
Absolutely. A lot of homeowners replace the worst windows first, often in bedrooms or on the coldest side of the house, and finish the rest later. We’ll help you figure out which ones to tackle first.
Many projects take a day or two once the windows arrive. The total depends on how many windows you’re replacing and whether any framing needs repair after the old units come out.
We install energy-efficient vinyl and fiberglass windows in double-hung, sliding, and picture styles, all custom-sized to your openings.
Price depends on how many windows you’re replacing, their size and style, the material you choose, and the condition of each opening. We’ll give you an exact written quote after a free in-home estimate.
Replacement usually makes sense when damage is widespread rather than isolated: curling or missing shingles across large areas, repeated leaks, soft spots in the deck, or a roof that’s reached the end of its expected life. An inspection will tell you whether a repair is enough.
