Energy Efficient Replacement Windows

Lower Bills, Better Comfort, Real Results

Your heating bill shouldn’t spike every time the temperature drops. When your windows are doing their job, you notice the difference immediately—rooms stay comfortable, drafts disappear, and your furnace isn’t working overtime.

Quality window replacement means your home feels consistent throughout. No more avoiding certain rooms in winter or cranking the AC in summer because your windows can’t keep up with Minnesota’s extremes.

The right windows also mean less maintenance, better security, and a home that looks sharp from the street. You’re not just replacing glass—you’re upgrading how your entire home performs.

What makes us different is simple: you work directly with the owner throughout your entire project. No getting passed between salespeople or project managers who don’t know your situation.

We’re Owens Corning Preferred Contractors and GAF Certified, which means enhanced warranties for your investment. Most of our window replacement projects are part of larger exterior renovations—roofing, siding, gutters—because homeowners prefer handling everything at once with one reliable team.

Window Installation Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with an honest assessment of your current windows and what you’re dealing with. No high-pressure sales tactics—just clear information about what needs to happen and what it’ll cost.

Measurements are taken precisely, and we order your windows from manufacturers we trust for Minnesota weather. Installation is scheduled around your timeline, and we handle permits and inspections as needed.

During installation, we protect your home’s interior and clean up completely each day. The old windows come out, new ones go in with proper sealing and insulation, and we test everything before calling it complete. You get enhanced warranties through our manufacturer certifications, plus our own guarantee on the installation work.

Complete Window Solutions for Minnesota Homes

Our window replacement service covers everything from single window repairs to whole-house installations. We work with energy-efficient vinyl and composite windows designed specifically for Minnesota’s temperature swings and weather conditions.

If you’re having trouble visualizing how new windows will look, we offer design consultations through our partner company. This helps you see exactly what your home will look like before making any decisions.

Most Long Lake homeowners we work with are tackling multiple exterior projects at once. Windows, siding, roofing, gutters—it makes sense to coordinate everything with one contractor who understands how these systems work together. That’s where our full-service approach really pays off for homeowners who want their exterior done right the first time.

How long does window replacement take for an average home?

Most whole-house window replacements take 1-3 days depending on the size of your home and number of windows. Single-story homes with standard window sizes typically get done in one day, while larger homes or custom windows might take longer. We don’t rush the job—proper installation takes time, especially ensuring each window is sealed correctly for Minnesota weather. Weather can affect scheduling, but we’ll give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.

What type of windows work best in Minnesota's climate?

Double or triple-pane windows with low-E coatings perform best here. The multiple panes create insulation barriers, while low-E coatings reflect heat back inside during winter and keep it out during summer. Vinyl frames handle temperature changes better than wood without the maintenance issues. We typically recommend windows with U-factors of 0.30 or lower for Minnesota—this measures how well the window prevents heat loss. The specific brand and style depend on your home’s architecture and your budget, but energy efficiency is non-negotiable in this climate.

Will new windows really make a noticeable difference in energy bills?

Yes, especially if your current windows are more than 15-20 years old or single-pane. Homeowners typically see 10-25% reductions in heating and cooling costs, depending on what they’re replacing. The bigger difference is comfort—rooms stay more consistent temperatures, drafts disappear, and your furnace doesn’t cycle on and off as much. Energy savings vary by home size, current window condition, and usage patterns, but the comfort improvement is immediate and noticeable. We can show you energy ratings for different window options so you know what to expect.

Do you handle permits and inspections for window replacement?

We handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections as required by Long Lake and Hennepin County codes. Most standard window replacements don’t require permits if we’re replacing existing windows with similar sizes, but structural changes or egress window installations do. We know local requirements and will tell you upfront what’s needed for your specific project. All our installation work meets or exceeds code requirements, and we’ll be there for any inspections that are required.

What warranties come with your window installation?

You get two types of warranties: manufacturer warranties on the windows themselves (typically 10-20 years depending on the brand and components) and our installation warranty. Because we’re certified with Owens Corning and GAF, we can offer enhanced warranty coverage that goes beyond standard manufacturer warranties. Our installation work is guaranteed, and we’ll address any issues that come up due to installation problems. We explain all warranty details before you sign anything, so you know exactly what’s covered and for how long.

Can you replace windows during Minnesota winters?

We can do winter window replacement, but timing and weather conditions matter. Extremely cold days (below 10°F) make installation difficult and uncomfortable for everyone involved. We prefer scheduling during milder winter days or waiting for better weather when possible. If you have emergency situations like broken windows, we’ll work with you to get temporary solutions in place and schedule permanent replacement when conditions improve. Most homeowners prefer spring through fall installation, but we’re flexible based on your needs and urgent situations.
