Schedule Your Free Window Inspection
A window inspection in Frankton is not a five minute glance. The crew checks each sash for smooth operation, looks at seals for fogging or moisture between panes, examines wood and steel frames for rot, rust, or separation, and searches the glass for cracks, chips, and impact marks left by hail or wind driven debris. Findings get documented with photos so you can see what we saw, whether it is a broken seal on a north facing window or frame damage from a fallen limb. Frankton has a lot of homes with original mid century windows still in service, and a thorough inspection is how a small draft or a hairline crack gets caught before it becomes a full replacement job.

Paint holds the shape of rotted wood for a long time. Push a screwdriver into the sill and into the bottom few inches of each jamb on an older Frankton house, and if it sinks, the wood has been finished for years and the finish coat has been doing the structural work. Rot at the bottom of an opening is not a window failure, it is an opening failure. Dropping a new unit into it hides the problem rather than ending it.
Frankton Window Company writes a Frankton window quote that can actually be set beside the other two on your table: frame material, glass package, the u-factor and SHGC of the exact unit, insert or full frame, who handles interior trim, and what the lead time is. Bids in this trade hide their differences inside matching bottom lines. An owner who cannot see what is different cannot choose, and Madison County homeowners are entitled to choose.

Call (317) 708-0841 and find out which one you actually have.

Storm And Hail Response
Central Indiana takes a beating from spring storms, and Madison County has seen hail large enough to pit siding and shatter glass. When wind and hail hit, we prioritize storm calls, inspect every elevation, and document cracked panes, broken seals, and frame damage. You get a clear picture of what needs repair now versus what can wait.
Frankton Homes We Know
Frankton's housing mix leans heavily toward 1940s through 1960s ranches and older folk style homes, many still running their original wood or steel single pane windows. We know how those frames behave when you pull a sash, and we plan the work around what is actually behind the trim, not a guess.
Full Scope, Start To Finish
From the first inspection through the final walkthrough, one crew handles your window project. That means the person who documented the damage is the same one making sure the new units sit square, the seals are tight, and the trim looks right. Fewer hand offs, fewer surprises.
Insurance Documentation Done Right
For Frankton homeowners filing a storm claim, we photograph the damage, note the failure mode, and put it all in writing so your carrier and adjuster have what they need. We do not works with your insurance carrier, but we make sure your paperwork tells a clear story.

What Frankton Homeowners See Us Do
Every Frankton project starts with an on site inspection. A crew member walks the home, checks each window inside and out, and looks for the specific issues that show up on older central Indiana houses: fogged insulated units, rotted sills, cracked panes, and sashes that no longer seal against the frame. Storm damage gets photographed from multiple angles, and age related wear gets noted separately so the two are never confused. Before we leave, you know what we found and what the next steps look like, with no pressure to sign anything on the spot.
After the inspection, you get a written estimate with a clear scope and honest pricing. If the damage came from a recent storm, we hand you the photo documentation and written notes to submit to your insurance carrier. We are happy to talk with your adjuster and answer questions about what we saw and how we plan to fix it, works with your insurance carrier. Frankton homeowners keep control of the claim, and we make sure the paper trail supports what actually happened to the window.
Once the estimate is approved and any insurance steps are settled, we schedule the work at a time that fits your week. The crew shows up on the agreed day, protects floors and landscaping around each opening, and installs or repairs the windows cleanly. When the last unit is set, we walk the job with you, point out what was done, and answer any final questions. Frankton homes get left tidy, with debris hauled off and the site swept.
Free Inspection With Photos
A crew member inspects every window, documents the condition with photos, and shows you exactly what they found. No cost, no obligation, no pressure to commit before you are ready.
Honest Written Estimate
You get the scope in writing, with pricing that matches what was inspected. If something changes mid project, we tell you before the work happens, not after the invoice lands.
Insurance Documentation
For Frankton storm claims, we provide the photos, notes, and written scope your insurance carrier needs. We work alongside your adjuster on the details, though the claim stays between you and your carrier.

What we see most often on Frankton windows
Frankton homeowners typically call us about these scenarios.
Soft Spots at the Bottom of the Jamb
Press a screwdriver into the sill and into the lower few inches of each jamb. If it sinks, the wood is finished and the paint has been holding the shape of it for a while.
Wood Sash Painted Shut
Somebody rolled paint across the sash and the stop in the same pass, and the window has not opened since. Humid summers in Frankton swell the wood on top of that, so a sash that binds in July can move fine in January. Freeing it is knife work and patience, not a pry bar.
An Insert Set Into a Rotten Frame
Pocket inserts go in fast because the old frame stays put, which is exactly the problem when that frame is soft at the sill. The new sash works fine for a few years while the rot behind it keeps going into the framing where nobody can see it. Anybody quoting an insert should be probing the existing sill first, and Frankton Window Company does that before a number goes on paper.
No Sill Pan Under the Window
Underneath the unit is where openings fail first, so a sill pan with upturned dams at the back and both ends belongs there to catch whatever gets past the trim and send it back outside. Many older Frankton openings never got one. A pan goes in during a full-frame replacement and cannot go in behind an insert, and that is the honest reason full-frame is sometimes the right call.
Fogged Glass Between the Panes
Fog you cannot wipe off means the insulated glass seal failed and the gas fill is gone, taking the efficiency with it. On a Frankton home this is often repairable as a glass unit replacement without replacing the whole window. Frankton Window Company quotes the sash or glass first when the frame is sound, and full replacement only when it earns its cost.
Cloudy Film Along the Grilles
Grilles between the glass and the spacer bar around the edge live inside a sealed unit that is supposed to stay bone dry. White haze or a film on them is the desiccant giving out, and there is no cleaning it, because there is no way in without cutting the unit apart.

Frankton Owners on the Window Crew
4.9 stars across 2,307+ Google reviews.
"Bathroom casement that had not opened in years. New unit, and they took the time to get the crank and the lock adjusted properly before they left."
"Second floor double hungs on a steep lot, which is why two other companies never called me back. These guys set up properly and had it done in two days."
"Called about a sash that would not stay up. It was a couple of years after the install and they came out, replaced the balance, and did not make me feel like I was bothering anyone."
"We needed an egress window in the basement so the room could count as a bedroom. They handled the cutting, the well, and the permit, and met the inspector so I did not have to take a day off work. Clean job, and that room finally has real light in it."
"A branch went through our front window in a storm. They got it boarded that evening and had the replacement in as soon as the unit came from the manufacturer. Kept me posted through the whole wait, which was the part I was worried about."
Frankton Window Questions
Straight answers to the questions Frankton homeowners ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Windows Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Frankton homeowners deal with spring hail and severe thunderstorms, summer UV exposure, fall wind storms, and winter freeze thaw cycles. Understanding these patterns is how we plan maintenance, repairs, and replacement work.
Hail Cracking Glass
Frankton sat under one storm cell that dropped hail measuring over three inches, and stones that size punch clean through single pane glass and dent metal frames. The damage often starts as a small chip or spider crack that spreads with the next temperature swing. When called in, the crew documents each impact and outlines repair or replacement options.
Wind Driven Debris
April 2025 brought gusts near 87 mph to Madison County, and wind that strong throws branches, gravel, and shingles at your windows. Impacts crack panes, split wood frames, and knock trim loose from the siding. We inspect every elevation after a wind event and note which units took hits, even the ones that still look intact at first glance.
Seal Failure And Fogging
Storm pressure changes and central Indiana's freeze thaw cycles are hard on insulated glass units. When a seal breaks, moisture creeps between the panes and shows up as permanent fogging or streaks you cannot wipe away. In Frankton, we see this on newer replacements as well as original mid century units, and the fix is a new insulated unit or a full window depending on the frame.
Drafts And Condensation
Many Frankton homes still run the wood frame single pane windows they were built with 60 or more years ago. The result is drafts along the sash, condensation on the interior glass in winter, and heating bills that climb every year. We check for air infiltration during the inspection and lay out repair or energy efficient replacement options that fit the house.
Choosing the Right Windows for Frankton Homes
An honest breakdown of the three window systems we install most frequently.
The most common window choice for Frankton homeowners is a standard vinyl double pane replacement. Vinyl frames resist rot, hold up well against central Indiana humidity, and cost less than wood or fiberglass, which matters in a town where owners are often catching up on deferred projects. Double pane insulated glass with a low e coating cuts drafts noticeably in the older ranches around town and pays back over time in lower heating bills. It is a practical, workhorse option for most homes here.
For Frankton homes on more exposed lots, or for owners who have already replaced glass once after a hail event, an impact resistant or laminated glass upgrade is worth considering. Laminated panes hold together when struck, which reduces the chance of a full break during a wind and hail event like the storms that rolled through Madison County. The cost per opening is higher than standard double pane, but on the west and south facing walls that take the brunt of storms, the tradeoff often makes sense.
Fiberglass and clad wood windows sit at the premium end of what most Frankton homeowners consider. Fiberglass frames expand and contract at nearly the same rate as the glass, which means seals last longer through the freeze thaw swings that are hard on cheaper frames. Clad wood offers a real wood interior with a low maintenance exterior. Both cost more up front than vinyl, but for owners planning to stay in the home long term, the longer service life is the tradeoff you are paying for.
