Together they installed for companies like Home Depot and worked with Pella corp. as an installation company. In the mid nineties they decided they could do it better on their own and have been doing so ever since. Meet the Business Owner Bri

They set the schedule, inventory was on time, experienced contractors handled the job, and THEY WERE DONE SOONER THAN EXPECTED. Of most importance, the Olson Windows representatives are very personable. The owners of the business are always there making sure things are done right as well. We have recommended Olson Windows to several of our friends and none have been disappointed. I also know that Olson Windows has done work for other contractors from our references as well. Olson Windows and Siding knows what they are doing!
We had close to two dozen windows replaced and we are a 3500 sq ft ranch with wood siding. Olson Windows did a perfect job of cutting out brick work when needed, but also recommended the right window for the removed area without having to do extra work in reshaping the open space. At one point, they removed a picture window and replaced it with a new sliding glass door with side windows - without having to increase the size of the opening. Perfect fit! Being a 1950's red cedar sided home, it is difficult to match the siding texture and color. Not in Olson's instance...again perfect. Olson Windows gave us different proposals prior to our decision on which windows and siding to select. However, their counseling based on our budget did not sacrifice the look and quality of the finished project.

The measurement had to be done twice, as is their policy. One Pella window was defective and was reinstalled three times before it was fixed.
Measured and installed 12 windows in my home

I had a great experience from start to finish. They did everything they said they would and the outcome is outstanding! They are going to start my brothers house next week.
Olson did my windows, doors, siding, and gutters.

The overall job went exceptionally well both times and the crew was great. George and John are very knowledgable, neat, clean and fast. It was a pleasure to have them around. My son was impressed with the attention to detail. Kevin was great from the start and always there and on top of everything all the way through the project. We also had Olson stain our new windows and they are fabulous. We need a new front door and will be having Olson do the work.
We were in need of new windows and doors for our home and started a search for a reputable company.
Our son did most of the work researching and interviewing the contractors and we chose Olson.
We did a portion of the windows last year and were so impressed and pleased with the work that it was without hesitation to have Olson do the rest of the windows this year.

I selected this company because I had read great reviews, and was also referred by a co-worker. My decision is one that I will never regret. The team at Olson Windows & Siding was professional, courteous and the sales staff is extremely knowledgeable. From the day I stopped by their showroom to the day that the work was completed, the service I received was top-notch. When my windows were replaced, it was very cold out and I was concerned about the weather and how it would impact the installation. The crew tarped floors, closed doors throughout the home as they were working, and had the windows in so quickly and professionally that I was amazed! The siding installation was seamless. They took extreme care around my newly planted bushes & shrubs. Overall, just a very pleasant experience!
I had Olson Windows complete siding and window replacement for my home.

We went to their showroom and they didn?t have what we were looking for. The guy was very nice and came out and talked to us, but they did have what we wanted. He was very helpful. He was very knowledgeable and had a lot of experience.
We got a quote from Olson Windows, Doors, & Siding for doors and siding.

My wife and I have been saving to replace our drafty windows, and hideous siding for the last several years. We had contacted 3 different companies, one of which was Olson windows. It was a hands down decision for us to go with them. As nervous as we were at the onset, the sales rep was more than helpful as well as knowledgeable. when the day came to have the work done, I left for work, & my wife stayed home to meet the installers. even though the whole job took close to a week, I couldn't believe how far they got in one day. They did an excellent job cleaning up and securing our house at the end of each work day. "Hat's Off" to the installers! We'll, job's done and we can't begin to explain how happy we are. The windows are beautiful, they open and close so nice, we have screens again, and perfect timing for summer. And with the new siding, we both feel like were at the wrong address when we pull into the driveway. We never thought our home looked that bad before, until we saw how GREAT it now looks. We've even overheard our 3 children bragging about their "new home" with their friend's on the phone. From start to finish I would highly recommend Olson Windows, Doors, & Siding to everyone I know.
We had all of our aluminum siding replaced with vinyl. As well as all of the old casement windows (13 total)

The installation process was a breeze; we were particularly impressed with the installers? efficiency and attention to detail. They were calm minded, polite and very thorough in their work. The windows were installed in a matter of just a few hours.
This past fall, my wife and I noticed a few gaps in a couple of our bedroom windows and both agreed it was time to purchase new windows. We saw a few Pella Window ads and decided to call Windows & Exteriors by Olson and a representative came to our home. We quickly developed a great rapport with him and we found him to be extremely knowledgeable and had excellent communication skills. The information he gave was clear, concise and he gave us great options on which windows would best fit our home. He also gave us an estimate on what are windows would cost. We took a little time to shop for other window manufactures and styles but ultimately decided we liked the Pella windows the best.
We are highly satisfied with our beautiful windows and the professionalism with this company as a whole. My wife and I could not be happier with our windows and we will strongly recommend Widows & Exteriors by Olson to others without any reservation.
