What Good Windows Actually Do

Your heating bills drop because air stops leaking through gaps and cracks. You stop feeling those cold drafts in winter and hot spots in summer.

The constant condensation on your old windows disappears. No more wiping down sills or worrying about moisture damage to your walls and trim.

You can actually hear the difference too. Traffic noise, lawn mowers, barking dogs – all of it gets muffled when your windows fit properly and use quality glass. Your home becomes the quiet space it should be.

Window Replacement Process Highwood

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we measure your existing windows and discuss what you want to accomplish. Energy savings, noise reduction, easier maintenance – whatever matters most to you drives our recommendations.

We order your new windows and schedule installation around your timeline. Most window replacements take one to two days depending on how many windows you’re replacing. We protect your floors and furniture, remove the old windows, and install the new ones with proper insulation and sealing.

After installation, we walk through everything with you. We show you how the new windows operate, explain the warranty coverage, and make sure you’re completely satisfied before we consider the job complete. You get all warranty documentation and our contact information for any future questions.

What's Included In Your Installation

Every window replacement includes proper removal of your old windows, disposal of all materials, and complete installation with quality insulation and weatherproofing. We don’t cut corners on the details that affect performance.

You get manufacturer warranties plus our workmanship guarantee. If you’re doing other exterior work like siding or roofing, we coordinate everything so you’re not dealing with multiple contractors showing up at different times.

Minnesota’s weather demands windows that can handle temperature swings from -20 to 95 degrees. We only install windows rated for our climate, and we know how to properly seal and insulate them so they perform the way they’re supposed to year after year.

Most residential window replacement projects take one to two days, depending on the number of windows and any complications we discover during removal. We typically replace 8-12 windows per day with a two-person crew. If you’re replacing windows throughout your entire home, we might split the work across multiple days to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Weather can affect scheduling during Minnesota winters, but we work year-round and plan installations during suitable conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation based on your specific project scope.
We install windows year-round in Minnesota, but spring through fall offers the most comfortable conditions for both homeowners and installers. Summer and early fall are popular because you can open your home without worrying about heating costs. However, winter installations are completely feasible – we work quickly to minimize heat loss and often see better pricing and availability during off-peak months. If your current windows are failing, don’t wait for perfect weather. The energy savings from new windows start immediately, and delaying installation just means higher heating bills through another winter season.
Most window replacements in Highwood don’t require permits when you’re replacing existing windows with similar sizes and styles. However, if you’re changing window sizes, adding new windows, or making structural modifications, permits may be required. We handle all permit applications and inspections when they’re needed – it’s included in our service. We know Highwood’s building codes and have established relationships with local inspectors, which helps streamline the process. During your consultation, we’ll determine if permits are necessary and factor any permit costs into your project estimate upfront.
We install several quality window brands that perform well in Minnesota’s climate, including options from manufacturers we’re certified with like Owens Corning. The specific brand depends on your budget, style preferences, and performance requirements. We focus on windows with strong energy efficiency ratings, proper weatherstripping, and frames that won’t warp or crack in temperature extremes. Rather than pushing one brand, we recommend windows based on what makes sense for your home and situation. During consultation, we’ll show you samples and explain the differences in materials, warranties, and expected lifespan so you can make an informed decision.
Window replacement costs vary significantly based on window size, style, frame material, and energy efficiency features. Basic vinyl replacement windows might run $300-500 per window installed, while premium options with advanced energy features can cost $600-1000+ per window. Most homeowners in Highwood spend between $5000-15000 for whole-house window replacement. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Since we’re certified installers, you may qualify for manufacturer rebates or enhanced warranties that add value beyond the initial investment.
Yes, but the savings depend on what you’re replacing and how your home is currently performing. If your current windows are single-pane, have broken seals, or don’t close properly, you’ll see noticeable energy savings immediately. Most homeowners in Minnesota see 10-25% reductions in heating and cooling costs with quality replacement windows. The payback period is typically 8-12 years through energy savings alone, not counting the comfort improvements and increased home value. We can estimate potential savings based on your current windows and heating system during our consultation. Keep in mind that windows work as part of your home’s overall envelope – combining window replacement with proper insulation maximizes energy efficiency.
