When you choose a company to build a major addition to your home, you aren’t just buying materials. You’re buying their reputation, history, and experience. At Kool View, we have spent decades perfecting the art of outdoor living. From our humble beginnings to becoming the premier choice for custom home additions, our journey has always been about one thing: helping families enjoy the view. So, here is the history of Kool View.
The History of Kool View: Building Trust Since 1973
The history of Kool View began over 50 years ago in 1973. Originally founded as a specialized home improvement company, we quickly recognized a growing need among Southern Wisconsin homeowners: a desire to enjoy the beauty of the changing seasons without dealing with the biting insects, unpredictable rain, or freezing winter winds.
To solve this, we pivoted our focus toward high-performance, energy-efficient glass structures. Over the last five decades, we have evolved from a small local business into an industry leader, having successfully designed and built over 1,500 custom sunrooms across Madison, Sun Prairie, Janesville, and Southern Wisconsin.
Decades of Evolving Services and Premium Partnerships
Throughout the history of Kool View, our core mission has expanded far beyond simple patio covers. We’ve expanded to include a comprehensive suite of premium, end-to-end design and construction services:
Four-Season Sunrooms: Engineered with thermally broken frames and advanced insulated glass to serve as seamless, heated extensions of your home during harsh Wisconsin winters.
Three-Season Rooms & Screen Enclosures: Ideal for maximizing comfort from early spring through late autumn using high-quality glass or flexible vinyl panels.
Custom Pergolas & Porch Covers: Durable, low-maintenance shade structures designed to define your backyard patio space.
Full-Service Project Management: We handle everything from the initial precise site measurements and custom 3D digital design mockups to navigating the complex local municipal building permits required across Southern Wisconsin.
Our longevity is rooted in our commitment to quality. We have spent years cultivating elite partnerships with top-tier national manufacturers like Four Seasons Sunrooms and LivingSpace. We also partner with many other local small businesses to keep the community strong.
