01
Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are a strong choice for Minnetonka bedrooms, offices, upper-level rooms, and traditional home designs. Both sashes move, which helps with airflow, cleaning, and flexible ventilation during Minnesota’s changing seasons.
For homes near Lake Minnetonka, Glen Lake, Groveland, and west metro neighborhoods with classic trim lines or mixed exterior materials, double-hung replacement windows can improve comfort, curb appeal, and energy performance without changing the home’s original character.
02
Casement Windows
Casement windows open outward with a crank and seal tightly when closed, making them a smart option for Minnetonka homeowners focused on energy efficiency, easy operation, and better ventilation.
They work well in kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, main-floor living spaces, and rooms that feel drafty or cold near exterior walls. Lakeside Exteriors helps Minnetonka homeowners choose casement windows with the right glass package, frame color, grille pattern, and hardware for the home.
03
Picture & Fixed Windows
Picture and fixed windows are ideal for Minnetonka homes with wooded lots, lake views, open living rooms, dining rooms, stair landings, and front elevations that need more natural light. Since these windows do not open, they can provide clean sightlines and fewer air leaks around the sash.
For larger glass areas, proper measuring, product selection, flashing, and insulation matter. Lakeside Exteriors installs custom-fit picture windows in Minnetonka to help protect comfort, appearance, and long-term performance.
04
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows move side to side and work well in spaces where an outward-opening window is not practical. They are often used in lower levels, family rooms, walkout basements, casual living spaces, and rooms where simple operation matters.
For Minnetonka homes with finished basements, mature tree coverage, or backyard views, sliding replacement windows can add airflow, natural light, and easy use without taking up extra space inside or outside the home.
05
Bay & Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows add depth, natural light, and architectural character to Minnetonka homes. They can update the look of a front room, sitting area, dining space, or main-level gathering room.
These projects require careful planning. Lakeside Exteriors reviews structure, support, roofing, exterior trim, insulation, and interior finishing details before recommending a bay or bow window replacement for a Minnetonka home.
06
Egress Windows
Egress windows are often used for finished lower levels, basement bedrooms, safety updates, and future living space plans. In Minnetonka, these projects may involve size requirements, window wells, drainage, permits, and inspection needs.
Lakeside Exteriors helps Minnetonka
homeowners plan egress window projects with safety, code, comfort, and long-term protection in mind. Our team makes sure the window fits the space, performs in Minnesota weather, and supports the way the lower level will be used.

"I started Lakeside after years at large nationwide contractors because I wanted to do this the right way — where the homeowner actually knows what's happening, the crew shows up when they say they will, and nobody cuts corners because they're rushing to the next job. That's still how we operate on every single project."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Homeowners Ask. We Answer.
Questions Minnetonka homeowners ask us most often before scheduling an estimate.
How can a Minnetonka homeowner tell when windows need to be replaced?
A Minnetonka homeowner may need window replacement when they notice cold drafts, condensation between glass panes, windows that stick, soft wood around the frame, higher energy bills, or rooms that feel uncomfortable near exterior walls. Many homes in Minnetonka were built decades ago, so original wood windows can be past their useful life. Lakeside Exteriors offers window inspections that help homeowners understand whether repair or full-frame replacement is the better choice.
What type of window replacement is best for older homes in Minnetonka?
Full-frame window replacement is often the best option for older Minnetonka homes, especially when the existing window frame has rot, air leaks, poor insulation, or outdated flashing. Full-frame installation allows the contractor to inspect the opening, correct hidden issues, improve weather protection, and install the new window properly from the frame out. Lakeside Exteriors does not focus on quick insert window swaps when a full-frame approach is the better long-term solution.
Which window brands are best for Minnetonka homes?
Pella, Andersen, and Marvin are strong window brands for Minnetonka homes. Each brand offers options for different budgets, home styles, lakefront properties, and energy-efficiency goals. Andersen 400 Series and Pella 250 Series can be good fits for many established homes, and Marvin or Andersen A-Series may be better for higher-end projects. Lakeside Exteriors is certified to install leading window brands and helps homeowners compare the right product for their home.
Does window replacement in Minnetonka require a permit?
Window replacement in Minnetonka may require a permit when the project involves structural changes, egress changes, or changes to the window opening. A properly permitted window project protects the homeowner, helps avoid inspection issues, and can prevent problems during refinancing or resale. Lakeside Exteriors handles required permit steps for Minnetonka window replacement projects.
Is Lakeside Exteriors licensed and insured for window replacement in Minnesota?
Yes. Lakeside Exteriors is licensed in Minnesota under Contractor License #CR807029 and carries insurance coverage for exterior remodeling work. Minnetonka homeowners can verify contractor licensing through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry before starting a window replacement project.
What areas near Minnetonka does Lakeside Exteriors serve?
Lakeside Exteriors serves Minnetonka and nearby Twin Cities communities including Wayzata, Hopkins, Golden Valley, Edina, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, Chaska, Shorewood, Maple Grove, and surrounding west metro areas. The company also serves the Brainerd Lakes and Crosslake area for window replacement, siding, roofing, exterior painting, and storm damage projects.
Can a Minnetonka homeowner replace windows, siding, and roofing at the same time?
Yes. Many Minnetonka homeowners choose to combine window replacement with siding or roofing work when planning a larger exterior project. Combining services can reduce scheduling issues, improve project coordination, and help make sure flashing, trim, siding edges, and exterior finishes are completed correctly. Lakeside Exteriors can coordinate windows, siding, roofing, exterior painting, and doors under one exterior remodeling plan.
How much does window replacement cost in Minnetonka?
Window replacement cost in Minnetonka depends on the number of windows, window style, brand, glass package, frame condition, trim details, and whether the project needs full-frame installation. Older homes can cost more when hidden rot, failing trim, or previous installation issues are found. Lakeside Exteriors provides itemized estimates so homeowners can compare options clearly before making a decision.
Why should Minnetonka homeowners choose Lakeside Exteriors for window replacement?
Minnetonka homeowners choose Lakeside Exteriors for certified window installation, full-frame replacement experience, clear estimates, local project coordination, and a 5-year workmanship warranty. The company installs trusted window brands including Pella, Andersen, Marvin, and ProVia, and can handle related exterior work such as siding, roofing, doors, exterior painting, and storm damage repairs.
What should a Minnetonka homeowner ask before hiring a window replacement contractor?
A Minnetonka homeowner should ask whether the contractor is licensed and insured, whether the project is full-frame or insert replacement, which window brands are being installed, who handles permits, what warranty is included, and how exterior trim and flashing will be finished. These questions help protect the home and make the estimate easier to compare. Lakeside Exteriors reviews these details during the consultation so homeowners know what is included before work begins.
