ST. LOUIS PARK, MN — WINDOW REPLACEMENT & INSTALLATION
St. Louis Park Window Replacement, From Brookside Stucco to Texa-Tonka Ramblers
St. Louis Park grew in two waves, the 1920s and '30s stucco and Tudor homes near Minnehaha Creek in Brookside, Browndale, and Minikahda Vista, then the postwar ramblers and 1.5-story expansions that filled Lenox, Sorensen, Oak Hill, and Texa-Tonka. Both eras are past due for windows. Lakeside Exteriors is an owner-led, Minnesota-licensed contractor (#CR807029) and certified installer for Pella and Andersen, with 15+ years of exterior experience — 15 minutes away down Highway 7.

WINDOW REPLACEMENT — ST. LOUIS PARK, MN
A 1948 Rambler Wasn't Built for a 2026 Winter. Neither Was a 1926 Tudor.
Walk any block in Lenox, Sorensen, or Oak Hill and you'll see the same postwar story: ramblers and 1.5-story expansion homes built fast in the late '40s and '50s, with builder-grade openings, aluminum storms bolted on later, and early insulated glass that's long past its rated life. Over in Brookside, Browndale, and Minikahda Vista, the stucco and Tudor homes near Minnehaha Creek carry original weight-and-pulley wood windows — beautiful trim, custom sizes, and sashes that leak heat all winter while the storm windows sweat and frost.
Lakeside quotes full-frame replacement for most St. Louis Park homes: the old window comes out down to the rough opening, hidden rot and air leaks get corrected, insulation and flashing get done right, and the new window sits square in a sound opening. In the creek-side neighborhoods we match interior and exterior trim profiles so new windows look like they were always there, and when an original 1920s window is genuinely worth restoring instead of replacing, we say so at the inspection. The estimate is free either way.

What St. Louis Park Homeowners Actually Pay
Window replacement in St. Louis Park typically runs $900 to $2,000+ per window installed. A whole-home project on a typical rambler or 1.5-story usually lands between $18,000 and $40,000, depending on window count, style, brand, glass package, and what we find in the frames, custom sizes in the older creek-side homes can run higher. You get an itemized written quote, product, labor, disposal, finishing, so you can compare it line by line against any other bid. No-interest financing is available for qualifying homeowners.
Three Types of Homes in St. Louis Park. Each Needs a Different Window.
St. Louis Park isn't one housing market, t's three. A 1926 stucco Tudor in Brookside needs a different window than a 1952 Texa-Tonka rambler or an infill build near the West End. Getting it wrong is obvious. Getting it right means a window that looks and performs like it was always supposed to be there.
1920s – 1940 · Brookside, Browndale & Minikahda Vista
The creek-side neighborhoods carry St. Louis Park's oldest character homes — stucco Tudors, Cape Cods, and storybook 1.5-stories with original weight-and-pulley double-hungs, leaded accents, and custom-sized openings. These homes demand profile-matched trim, wood or wood-look interiors, and careful full-frame work that respects the architecture
Best fit: Marvin Ultimate · Andersen 400
1945 – 1965 · Lenox, Sorensen, Oak Hill, Texa-Tonka & Aquila
The postwar boom built most of St. Louis Park: tract ramblers and 1.5-story expansion homes with buildergrade openings, aluminum storm windows added later, and early insulated glass that's at or past its useful life. Standard sizes keep costs predictable; the win is correcting seventy years of settling and air leaks with full-frame installation.
Best fit: Andersen 400 · Pella 250
1990s – Present · Westwood Hills, Elmwood & West End Infill
Custom homes near Westwood Hills Nature Center and newer infill around Excelsior & Grand and the West End bring bigger openings, more glass per wall, and modern profiles built to recent energy codes. Insulated seals in this era fail quietly — fog builds slowly while energy costs climb before most homeowners connect the two.
Best fit: Andersen E-Series · Pella 350

COMMON QUESTIONS

We Answer.
Questions St. Louis Park homeowners ask before replacing their windows.
Who installs replacement windows in St. Louis Park, MN?
Lakeside Exteriors installs full-frame replacement windows in St. Louis Park, MN — Pella, Andersen, Marvin, and ProVia — from its headquarters on County Rd 101 in Minnetonka, about 15 minutes west on Highway 7. The team works throughout St. Louis Park, from Brookside and Browndale near Minnehaha Creek to Lenox, Sorensen, Oak Hill, Texa-Tonka, Fern Hill, and Westwood Hills.
Are the original wood windows in a 1920s St. Louis Park home worth replacing?
Often, yes, but not always. The weight-and-pulley double-hungs in Brookside and Browndale stucco homes were built from old-growth wood and can sometimes be restored. The honest answer depends on rot, air leakage, and how much you're spending on storm windows and heating. When replacement is the right call, we use full-frame installation with profile-matched trim so the new windows keep the home's character. We tell you which path makes sense at the free inspection.
Is full-frame or insert replacement better for a postwar rambler?
Full-frame replacement is usually the better fit for St. Louis Park's 1940s and 1950s ramblers and 1.5-story expansions. Seventy-plus years of freeze-thaw cycles are hard on original frames, and an insert window set into a rotted or out-of-square frame inherits every one of those problems. Full-frame installation opens the rough opening, corrects hidden rot and air leaks, and sets the new window square. Inserts work when the existing frame is still solid, we check before quoting either one.
How much does window replacement cost in St. Louis Park?
Window replacement in St. Louis Park typically runs $900 to $2,000+ per window installed, and a whole-home project on a typical rambler or 1.5-story usually lands between $18,000 and $40,000. Cost depends on the number of windows, style, brand, glass package, and frame condition, custom sizes in older Brookside and Browndale homes can run higher. Every Lakeside estimate is itemized, product, labor, disposal, and finishing — so you can compare it line by line.
Do I need a permit to replace windows in St. Louis Park?
Some projects do, especially when opening sizes change, egress windows are added for basement or halfstory bedrooms, or structural work is involved. Lakeside Exteriors reviews permit needs during the estimate and handles required steps with the City of St. Louis Park.
What areas near St. Louis Park does Lakeside Exteriors serve?
Lakeside serves St. Louis Park and the surrounding communities, including Golden Valley, Hopkins, Edina, Minnetonka, Plymouth, and Minneapolis's western neighborhoods, plus the wider Twin Cities metro and the Brainerd Lakes area from a Crosslake office.
