Caradco Windows review

When one decides on choosing wood as the main material for window construction, whether new or replacement, it is not surprising if you hear people suggest Caradco Windows. The windows company, specializing in wood windows and patio doors, was established in 1866 and has been a common household name since then.

Their products were used in famous places around the United States such as the White House and the University of Iowa to name a few. Buildings and houses along the downtown of Dubuque, Iowa (the birthplace of Caradco) were made with Caradco windows. Caradco windows, now with Jeld-Wen Windows and Doors, was founded as a merger between businessman Carr and craftsman Austin and ventured into the cabinet and furniture making.

Because of the company’s location along the Mississippi River, pine trees have been readily accessible and their credibility as the finest wood craftsmen started. The Caradco label was derived from the names of the company’s predecessor in 1958: Carr, Adams, and Collier. Although the company was able to keep its brand name, Caradco was transferred under different management: under Scovill Manufacturing Company in 1968 (and in 1976, the window production plant was transferred to Illinois) and under JELD-WEN took Caradco under its management in 1997.
