Window Options
Windows We Install in
St. Louis Park Homes
St. Louis Park homes often need replacement windows that respect older architecture, improve comfort, and clean up the look of the exterior. Some homes need full-frame window replacement to review older openings. Others need better glass, smoother operation, or updated styles for remodels and additions. Here are common window styles we install in St. Louis Park.
01
Double-Hung Windows
The most common replacement in St. Louis Park's bungalows and Cape Cods. Both sashes open independently for easy cleaning, and the style is available in the standard and non-standard sizes that original 1940s–1960s construction frequently requires.
We pay close attention to profile depth and exterior trim detail on SLP's older homes — getting the sightlines and exterior proportions right matters on bungalow architecture.
02
Casement Windows
Hinged at the side and cranking open outward. Casements seal tighter than double-hung units because the sash presses against the frame rather than sliding past it — a real thermal advantage in Minnesota winters.
A popular upgrade on SLP homes where homeowners want better energy performance and reduced noise from Highway 100 or I-394 without changing the opening size.
03
Picture & Fixed Windows
No moving parts — just glass. Best possible thermal performance and unobstructed sightlines. Used frequently in St. Louis Park living rooms and great rooms where the main window is a feature and ventilation is handled by adjacent operable units.
Also the best choice for noise reduction on streets with higher traffic exposure — no mechanism means no gaps for sound to travel through.
04
One sash slides horizontally past the other. Works well in spaces where a casement or double-hung is impractical — over a kitchen sink, in a utility room, or anywhere a window that opens outward would be in the way.
A practical fit in SLP's denser residential areas where proximity to driveways and neighboring homes limits outward clearance.
05
Project outward from the wall to add interior volume and a wider view angle. Bay windows use three units at fixed angles; bow windows curve with four or more. Found on some of SLP's larger bungalows and original two-story homes.
Structural assessment is part of every bay and bow estimate. We include any required framing work in the written quote — no surprise costs added later.
06
Required by Minnesota code for any finished below-grade living space. Egress windows must meet minimum size and opening requirements for emergency exit. Basement finishing projects in St. Louis Park trigger this requirement.
We handle all permits and required inspections. If you're converting a basement bedroom or finishing a lower level, we'll size the window to meet St. Louis Park's code and include the permit in the project scope.

"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."

I worked with Freddy at Lakeside to get custom windows ordered and installed in a house I was selling. When the contractor I was working with stalled out, Lakeside made it happen. They were speedy, professional, and did a great job. Excellent problem solvers. I will definitely work with them in the future!

COMMON QUESTIONS
Homeowners Ask.
We Answer.
Questions St. Louis Park homeowners ask most often before scheduling an estimate.
How much does window replacement cost in St. Louis Park, MN?
Most St. Louis Park homes run $2,200 to $3,500 per window. A project on a typical post-war bungalow or rambler falls between $18,000 and $58,000. Homes with non-standard openings or rot in the rough opening may run higher. The estimate is free and covers everything. Schedule yours here or call (651) 431-1877.
Do St. Louis Park window replacements require a permit?
Yes, SLP does require a permit for replacement of windows. Changes to opening sizes, egress additions, or structural modifications do. We review scope during the estimate and handle the City of St. Louis Park permit process, including paperwork and inspection scheduling.
What window brands work best for post-war homes in St. Louis Park?
Andersen 400 Series and Pella 250 work well for most standard SLP bungalow openings — reliable performance, broad sizing options, and finishes that suit the original architecture. For homes with non-standard openings or where slim sightlines matter, Marvin Modern and Andersen A-Series are worth considering. We measure every opening before recommending anything — the right product depends on what's actually there.
How long does window replacement take in a St. Louis Park home?
Most windows carry a lead time of two to six weeks depending on the product line and time of year. The full timeline is laid out in your written contract before work starts. One person manages your project from estimate through final walkthrough, you always know where things stand.
What areas does Lakeside Exteriors serve?
Lakeside serves the entire Twin Cities Metro including Minnetonka, Golden Valley, Eden Prairie, Wayzata, Plymouth, Edina, Prior Lake, Anoka, Forest Lake, Blaine, and many more. Plus the Brainerd Lakes area including Crosslake, Brainerd, and surrounding lake communities.
Can new windows reduce noise from Highway 100 and I-394?
Yes. Homes near Highway 100 and I-394 pick up significantly more traffic noise than streets further from those corridors. Triple-pane windows with laminated glass reduce noise transmission noticeably. Install quality matters as much as the glass — a poorly sealed frame lets sound in regardless of the window's rating.
