Searching "Window Replacement near me"? Here's who actually shows up
Type that search in the west metro and you'll get national call centers, lead-selling directories, and out-of town crews chasing last spring's hail. Lakeside Exteriors is the other kind of result: a licensed Minnesota contractor with a real office at 4737 County Rd 101 in Minnetonka. Our installers are 10 to 30 minutes from most Twin Cities homes, the owner still walks jobs, and the person who answers the phone knows your street. Local means someone accountable after the last window goes in, and a workmanship warranty backed by a company you can drive to.
Full-Frame Replacement: Done Once, Done Right
Most window companies quote a quick insert swap — a new unit dropped inside the old frame, rot and all. Lakeside specializes in full-frame replacement: the old window comes out down to the rough opening, so hidden rot, failed flashing, poor insulation, and air leaks get corrected before the new window goes in. It costs a little more up front, and it's the reason our installs seal tight for decades instead of years. When an insert genuinely is the smarter buy for your home, we'll tell you that at the estimate.
What Window Replacement Costs in the Twin Cities?
Most Twin Cities homeowners invest $3,500 to $5,000 per window installed, depending on size, style, brand, glass package, and frame condition. A whole-home replacement on a typical rambler or colonial usually lands between $22,000 and $50,000. Every Lakeside estimate is itemized — product, labor, disposal, and finishing — so you can compare line by line, not guess at a ballpark. Financing is available with 18 months no interest for qualifying homeowners.

Straight answers to the questions we get most. No runaround.
Who does window replacement near me in the Twin Cities?
Lakeside Exteriors replaces windows for homeowners across the Twin Cities metro from its office at 4737 County Rd 101 in Minnetonka. Crews serve Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, Edina, Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, Hopkins, and communities within about a 50-mile radius, plus the Brainerd Lakes area from a Crosslake office.
How much does window replacement cost in the Twin Cities?
Most Twin Cities homeowners invest $2500 to $5400 per window installed, depending on size, style, brand, glass package, and frame condition. A whole-home replacement on a typical rambler or colonial usually lands between $18,000 and $30,000. Lakeside Exteriors provides an itemized written quote covering product, labor, disposal, and finishing.
Is full-frame window replacement better than an insert?
Full-frame replacement removes the old window down to the rough opening, so hidden rot, failed flashing, poor insulation, and air leaks get corrected before the new window goes in. Insert replacement keeps the existing frame and works when that frame is still solid. Lakeside Exteriors specializes in full-frame replacement and recommends inserts only when they are the smarter buy for the home.
Can windows be replaced during a Minnesota winter?
Yes. Crews work one opening at a time, so the home is never left open to the cold for long. For homeowners dealing with major drafts or failed glass, replacing in winter beats paying to heat the outdoors until spring.
Do you haul away the old windows?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old windows is included in the written quote.
Does homeowners insurance ever cover window replacement?
It can, when hail or wind damage is the cause. Lakeside Exteriors documents storm damage with photos and measurements and supports the insurance claim through the full exterior repair.
What window brands does Lakeside Exteriors install?
Lakeside installs Pella, Andersen, Marvin, and ProVia replacement windows, with help comparing frame materials, glass packages, grille patterns, and double-pane versus triple-pane options for Minnesota weather
