Same Owner, Every Project Since 2002

We’ve been handling window replacement and exterior projects in Minnetrista for over 20 years. You work directly with the owner from start to finish, not different salespeople or project managers.

We maintain an A+ Better Business Bureau rating and have earned multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List. As certified contractors for Owens Corning and GAF, we provide enhanced warranties you can’t get elsewhere.

We handle complete exterior renovations, so if you need roofing, siding, or gutters along with your windows, you deal with one contractor instead of coordinating multiple companies.

Window Installation Process

Straightforward Process, No Project Handoffs

We start with an in-home consultation where you work directly with the owner to assess your current windows and discuss options. If you need help visualizing different styles or colors, we arrange design consultations to show you exactly how your home will look.

Once you approve the plan, we order your custom windows and schedule installation around your timeline. Our crew removes old windows carefully to avoid damage to your home’s interior, then installs new windows with proper sealing and insulation.

After installation, we walk through everything with you to ensure windows operate correctly and you understand warranty coverage. You get enhanced manufacturer warranties because of our certified contractor status, plus our workmanship guarantee.

What You Get With Professional Installation

Every window replacement includes proper measurement, custom ordering, and installation that meets Minnesota building codes. We handle permits if required and ensure installations are weatherproofed for harsh winters.

You get quality vinyl, wood, or composite windows from established manufacturers, not builder-grade products. Installation includes new trim work, proper insulation, and sealing to prevent air leaks and moisture problems.

We clean up completely after installation and dispose of old windows properly. Your enhanced warranty coverage protects both the windows and installation work, giving you recourse if anything goes wrong down the road.

How long do replacement windows typically last in Minnesota?

Quality replacement windows should last 20-30 years in Minnesota’s climate when properly installed. The key factors are choosing windows rated for our temperature extremes and ensuring proper installation with adequate sealing. Vinyl windows tend to last longest with minimal maintenance, while wood windows require more upkeep but offer superior insulation. The installation quality matters as much as the window quality – poor installation can cut lifespan in half due to air leaks, moisture infiltration, and structural stress from improper fitting.

What's the difference between standard and enhanced manufacturer warranties?

Enhanced warranties are only available through certified contractors and typically cover more components for longer periods. Standard warranties might cover glass breakage for 10 years, while enhanced warranties cover glass, hardware, and frame issues for 15-20 years. Enhanced warranties also include installation coverage, meaning if problems arise from improper installation, you’re protected. The manufacturer will honor warranty claims more readily when work is done by certified contractors because they trust our installation standards and training.

How much can new windows reduce my energy bills?

Most homeowners see 10-25% reduction in heating and cooling costs after replacing single-pane or failed double-pane windows. The exact savings depend on your current windows’ condition, your home’s insulation, and how much conditioned air was escaping. Windows with low-E coatings and argon gas filling provide the best energy efficiency. In Minnesota, the heating season savings are usually most noticeable since we heat homes 6-7 months per year. Energy Star certified windows can qualify for utility rebates that help offset installation costs.

Can you replace windows during winter in Minnesota?

Yes, but it requires more planning and precautions. We typically work on one window at a time to minimize heat loss and use temporary coverings when needed. Interior temperature will drop while windows are open, so we work quickly and efficiently. Many homeowners prefer spring through fall installation for comfort, but winter replacement is possible for urgent situations like broken windows or severe drafts. We adjust our process for cold weather to ensure proper sealing and caulking cure correctly despite low temperatures.

Do I need permits for window replacement in Minnetrista?

Most window replacements don’t require permits if you’re replacing existing windows with similar sizes and styles. However, permits are needed if you’re enlarging openings, changing window styles significantly, or if structural modifications are required. We handle permit applications when needed and ensure all work meets current building codes. Even when permits aren’t required, proper installation following code standards protects your home’s structural integrity and ensures insurance coverage remains valid if problems occur later.

What happens if my new windows develop problems after installation?

You’re covered by both our workmanship warranty and the manufacturer’s enhanced warranty. If issues arise from installation problems, we return to correct them at no charge. For manufacturing defects, we coordinate directly with the manufacturer to handle warranty claims – you don’t have to navigate that process alone. Common warranty issues include seal failures, hardware malfunctions, or glass breakage. Because we’re certified contractors, manufacturers process warranty claims faster and with fewer questions than they would for non-certified installations.
