Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Windows
Old windows do more than “let in a little air.” They affect your comfort, costs, and even safety.
You may need window replacement if you notice:
-
Cold drafts or hot spots near windows
-
Fogging or moisture between glass panes
-
Windows that stick, won’t stay open, or won’t lock properly
-
Peeling paint, soft wood, or visible rot around frames
-
Higher heating and cooling bills year over year
If any of this sounds familiar, we’ll inspect your windows and explain whether repair or full replacement makes the most sense.

"We replaced all the front windows in our home and the difference was immediate. No more cold drafts and the rooms finally feel consistent. The crew showed up when they said they would, kept everything clean, and walked us through the finished work before leaving. We’re really happy with how everything turned out."
-Lawrence

"From the first visit, we felt comfortable asking questions. Nothing felt rushed or sales-heavy. The installer explained what made sense for our house and the windows look great inside and out. The trim work was especially clean, which we appreciated"
-Angela

"Our old windows were foggy and hard to open. The new ones operate smoothly and the house looks updated without changing the character of the home. The install team was respectful of our space and left things spotless. We’d recommend them to anyone planning window replacement."

Window Installation Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the best window replacement companies near me?
The best companies are the ones that are licensed, insured, and have lots of happy customers. Lakeside Exteriors is one of these companies. They work on homes all over Minnesota and are trusted to replace windows the right way.
What are the best energy‑saving window brands?
Some window brands are really good at keeping homes warm in winter and cool in summer. Brands like Andersen, Marvin, Pella, and ProVia make strong, energy‑efficient windows. Lakeside Exteriors installs these brands so families can save energy and feel more comfortable.
How much does professional window replacement usually cost?
The price depends on how many windows a home has, how big they are, and what kind of windows the homeowner picks. Fancy glass and special frames may cost more. Lakeside Exteriors always gives a clear written price so families know what they’re paying for before any work starts.
What kind of payment or financing can people use for new windows?
Sometimes families don’t want to pay for all the windows at once. Lakeside Exteriors can offer 0% financing plans (for people who qualify), so they can pay over time instead of all in one day.
Where can someone get good vinyl replacement windows?
Vinyl windows can be found in big stores, but those windows might not be the best match for every home. Lakeside Exteriors helps people pick vinyl windows from trusted brands and then installs them correctly, so the windows last longer and work better.
How can someone choose the right window replacement company?
A good company explains things clearly, answers questions, and doesn’t use pushy sales tricks. They should come to the house, look at the windows, and give real advice. Lakeside Exteriors does all of this so homeowners can feel calm and confident.
What’s the difference between vinyl, fiberglass, and wood windows?
Vinyl windows are easy to take care of and usually cost less. Fiberglass windows are very strong and don’t bend or warp much in hot or cold weather. Wood windows look warm and classic on the inside of a home. Lakeside Exteriors talks through each type so families can pick what fits them best.
What should people know about window warranties?
A warranty is a promise that if something goes wrong, it can be fixed or replaced. Good windows usually have warranties on the glass and the frame. Lakeside Exteriors installs windows from companies that offer strong warranties, and Lakeside also stands behind its own installation work.
Do big home improvement stores install windows, and how is Lakeside different?
Big stores often hire other crews to put in the windows, so one company sells the window and another company installs it. That can be confusing if a problem shows up later. Lakeside Exteriors handles everything—from helping pick the windows to installing them and answering questions afterwards—so families only need to call one trusted team.
