Window replacement and siding in Decatur, Indiana
For window replacement in Decatur, where about 62% of homes were built before 1980, we price repair, storm windows and new windows side by side.
Checking a contractor in Decatur
Decatur's Building and Zoning office (260-724-3814) issues the city's building permits, and its permit form requires contractors to be registered with the city and insured for at least $500,000. Ask any contractor for both before work starts.
The remodel fee is $50 for the first $1,000 of work plus $3 for each $1,000 after that, so a permit for a $12,000 window job would be $83. Ask the office whether your job needs a permit; the city's published material doesn't single out windows or siding.
The Decatur Homesteads
The Decatur Homesteads is the only New Deal resettlement project of its kind in Indiana: 48 lots around a central park, built in 1934 and 1935 and added to the National Register in December 2022. Its houses are Dutch Colonial Revival and minimal traditional designs. If you live there and want to keep the original look, choose replacement windows that fit the existing openings and trim.
Decatur's housing
About 44% of Decatur's homes were built before 1960, and the median is 1969.
