Modern Day Window & Door provides window replacement, window installation, and exterior door replacement to homeowners across Marion County, including Lockerbie Square, Fountain Square, and Butler-Tarkington. Energy-efficient replacement windows reduce heating and cooling costs. Fiberglass entry doors improve security and curb appeal. We also restore historic windows on older Indianapolis homes. Our certified installers are experienced with Indiana's climate conditions and seasonal weather demands. We serve all of Marion County and nearby communities like Westfield, Indiana.
Indianapolis's humid continental climate with harsh winters and hot, muggy summers puts significant stress on windows and doors. With temperature swings exceeding 60°F between seasons and high humidity levels, many Indianapolis homeowners face drafty windows, high energy bills, and moisture issues that demand professional-grade solutions.
Our certified installers understand the unique challenges of Indianapolis homes, from historic neighborhoods requiring custom work to modern subdivisions needing energy-efficient upgrades.
We work extensively throughout Marion County, from historic brick homes in Fountain Square requiring custom-fit solutions to modern construction in Butler-Tarkington needing energy-efficient upgrades. Our experience spans Indianapolis's diverse architectural styles, from Victorian homes on Massachusetts Avenue to mid-century ranches in Meridian-Kessler.
Our installations account for Indianapolis's challenging climate with 60°F+ temperature swings and high humidity levels that cause condensation and ice dam issues. We ensure proper sealing and insulation to handle both January's sub-freezing temperatures and July's 85°F+ heat with oppressive humidity.
We're experienced with Marion County permitting processes and familiar with historic district guidelines in neighborhoods like Lockerbie Square and Old Northside. We can help navigate local requirements and work with homeowners' associations throughout the Indianapolis area to ensure compliance with architectural standards.
Broad Ripple's mix of bungalows, craftsman cottages, and mid-century homes often feature original single-pane windows that drive up energy costs year-round. We frequently install double-hung and casement replacement windows here to improve comfort and reduce utility bills. Our historic window restoration services let homeowners keep original architectural details without sacrificing energy performance or modern weatherproofing.
Fountain Square's Victorian and early 20th-century architecture requires precision and care. Many homes in this neighborhood need full-frame replacement windows to address deteriorated wood frames and moisture damage common in older construction. Our team installs custom-fit solutions that match the proportions and aesthetic of historic Fountain Square homes while meeting current Indiana energy codes.
Lockerbie Square is one of Indianapolis's most carefully preserved historic districts, and window and door work here demands a specialized approach. We offer historic window restoration and preservation services that maintain the character of these homes while improving energy efficiency and year-round comfort. Our team is familiar with the design review requirements that apply to exterior modifications in this district.
These established mid-century neighborhoods are home to many ranch and colonial-style homes where aging aluminum or vinyl windows are a common source of drafts and heat loss. We install energy-efficient triple-pane windows and fiberglass entry doors throughout this corridor. Homes with larger window footprints see measurable reductions in heating and cooling costs after upgrading to modern low-E glass with argon gas fill.
High-rise and loft conversions in downtown Indianapolis require insert replacement windows and custom window configurations that standard contractors are not always equipped to handle. Limited access, non-standard opening sizes, and HOA requirements are typical constraints on these projects. Our certified installers have direct experience with urban residential installations and can work within the requirements of downtown Indianapolis building management and associations.
Old Northside features Italianate and Queen Anne homes with distinctive architectural details that set them apart from standard residential stock. We work with homeowners on historic window restoration projects and specialty window installations that respect the original design language of these properties. Our team understands how to balance preservation priorities with modern energy performance requirements and local historic district guidelines.
Our crews work across Indianapolis's distinct neighborhoods every week. Here are examples of the types of projects we complete for Marion County homeowners:
Older homes in Lockerbie Square and Old Northside often feature original wood-frame windows from the late 1800s and early 1900s. We perform historic window restoration to preserve original character while improving thermal performance, and we install insert replacement windows where full-frame replacement is not permitted under historic district guidelines. We are familiar with Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission requirements and can advise homeowners on compliant options.
Craftsman bungalows throughout Fountain Square and Bates-Hendricks often have deteriorated window frames caused by decades of Indianapolis humidity and freeze-thaw cycles. We perform full-frame replacement window installations that address rotted sill plates and failed flashing, not just the glass unit. This stops water infiltration and prevents further structural damage.
Mid-century ranch and Tudor-style homes in Meridian-Kessler and Butler-Tarkington are common candidates for double-hung and casement replacement windows with Low-E glass and argon gas fills. Homeowners in these neighborhoods report 15 to 25% reductions in heating and cooling costs after replacement.
Homeowners in Broad Ripple and Castleton request sliding glass door replacements and multi-panel patio door systems to improve backyard access and natural light. We install 2-panel, 3-panel, and 4-panel sliding glass doors as well as Frenchwood door systems sized to existing openings or expanded rough openings.
Downtown loft and condo conversions often require custom picture windows, specialty-shaped windows, or casement windows sized to non-standard openings. We work directly with condo associations and building managers to schedule installations that comply with building access rules and HOA architectural standards.
"We had Modern Day Window & Door replace all 14 windows in our 1920s home in the Old Northside neighborhood. They were one of the few contractors who understood the historic character of the house and didn't try to talk us into something that would look out of place. The installation was clean, the crew was professional, and the difference in comfort that first winter was remarkable."
— Sarah T., Old Northside, Indianapolis
"Our Broad Ripple bungalow had the original single-pane windows and our heating bills were out of control every winter. After Modern Day installed double-hung replacement windows throughout the house, the drafts are completely gone and we noticed a real drop in our energy costs. Couldn't be happier with the results."
— Mark D., Broad Ripple, Indianapolis
"We needed a new fiberglass entry door for our home near Fountain Square and were worried about finding something that fit the look of the neighborhood. The team walked us through the options, handled everything from permits to installation, and the finished product looks like it was always part of the house."
— Jennifer R., Fountain Square, Indianapolis
"Living in a downtown Indianapolis condo, I wasn't sure who could handle the non-standard window sizes in our unit. Modern Day came out, assessed the openings, and installed insert replacement windows that fit perfectly. The HOA had no issues with the work and the noise reduction alone was worth every penny."
— Tom W., Downtown Indianapolis
"Our Butler-Tarkington ranch had old aluminum windows that were single-pane and leaked air constantly. Modern Day replaced them with triple-pane windows and also installed a new steel entry door. The house stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and our utility bills reflect it."
— Lisa M., Butler-Tarkington, Indianapolis

Replacement window costs in Indianapolis typically range from $400 to $1,200 per window installed, depending on window type (double-hung, casement, picture, specialty), frame material, glass package (double-pane vs. triple-pane, Low-E coatings, argon fill), and whether the project is an insert replacement or full-frame replacement. Modern Day Window & Door offers free in-home consultations and quotes with no obligation, and financing options are available for qualifying homeowners.
In most cases, like-for-like insert replacement windows in Indianapolis do not require a building permit. However, full-frame replacements that alter the rough opening size, structural modifications, or work in designated historic districts may require a permit from the City of Indianapolis Department of Business and Neighborhood Services. Our team is familiar with Marion County permitting requirements and can advise you on what your specific project requires.
A typical single-day installation covers 8 to 12 windows for an average Indianapolis home. Larger projects, full-frame replacements, or custom specialty windows may require two days. We schedule installations around Indianapolis weather conditions and work to minimize disruption to your home.
Indianapolis has a humid continental climate with winters regularly dropping below 10°F and summers exceeding 90°F. This demands windows with strong thermal performance. We recommend double-pane or triple-pane windows with Low-E glass coatings and argon gas fills. Casement windows offer the tightest seal against Indiana's winter winds, while double-hung windows are popular for Indianapolis homes because they open from top or bottom for easier cleaning.
