Minnesota Winters Are Not Forgiving — Here Is What Proper Window Installation Actually Requires
If you live in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or anywhere across the Twin Cities metro, you know the drill. Come November the hairdryer comes out, the plastic film goes up, and the caulk gets refreshed around every window in the house. That is not a maintenance routine. That is a sign of windows that were not installed correctly or have reached the end of their useful life.
Advanced Roofing and Siding has been installing windows in Minnesota since 1993. What we have learned over three decades is that the installation method matters as much as the window itself. A premium window installed without proper air sealing, flashing tape at the sill, and low-expansion foam at the frame performs no better than a builder-grade unit. Every window installation we complete is done to the same airtight standard — because in Minnesota, the difference between a window that performs and one that does not shows up on your energy bill every single month from October through April.
Energy Performance
How Much Can New Windows Save a Minnesota Homeowner on Energy Costs?
Energy-efficient windows reduce heating and cooling costs by 15 to 30 percent depending on your current windows, insulation, and home size. Here is what the performance numbers mean for Minnesota homes specifically.
Estimated Heating and Cooling Savings
The Department of Energy estimates that energy-efficient window replacement reduces heating and cooling costs by 15 to 30 percent in cold-climate homes compared to single-pane or older double-pane units.
The Number That Matters Most in Minnesota
U-factor measures how quickly a window loses heat. For Minnesota's climate zone, Advanced Roofing and Siding recommends windows with a U-factor of 0.22 or lower. The lower the number the better the insulating performance in cold weather.
Coating That Blocks Heat Loss Without Blocking Light
Low-emissivity glass coatings reflect interior heat back into the room in winter while allowing natural light to pass through. For Minnesota homes, a low-E coating with argon gas fill between panes is the standard recommendation for year-round energy performance.
Triple-Pane Glass for Maximum Cold-Weather Performance
Triple-pane windows add a third layer of glass and a second air or gas fill chamber, significantly improving thermal performance in extreme cold. For Minnesota homes in exposed or north-facing locations, triple-pane units are worth evaluating against the premium cost during your free consultation.
Minnesota falls in ENERGY STAR's Northern climate zone, which carries the most stringent efficiency requirements of any zone in the continental United States. Advanced Roofing and Siding specifies window U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient ratings that meet or exceed Minnesota's energy code requirements on every installation.

Window Styles We Install
What Window Styles Does Advanced Roofing and Siding Install in Minnesota and Wisconsin?
Advanced Roofing and Siding installs all major window styles for replacement and new construction projects across the Twin Cities metro and greater Minnesota.
Double-Hung Windows
The most common window style in Minnesota homes. Both sashes slide up and down and tilt in for easy cleaning.
Casement Windows
Hinged on one side and cranked open outward. Excellent air sealing when closed and ideal for hard-to-reach locations.
Picture Windows
Fixed non-opening windows that maximize views and natural light. Excellent thermal performance with no moving parts to seal.
Bay and Bow Windows
Projecting window assemblies that add interior space and architectural interest. Available in multiple panel configurations.
Sliding Windows
One or both sashes slide horizontally. A practical choice for wide openings where a crank mechanism is not preferred.
Awning Windows
Hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom. Can remain open during light rain while still ventilating the space.
Hopper Windows
Hinged at the bottom and open inward from the top. Common in basements and utility spaces for ventilation.
Custom and Specialty Shapes
Circle, arch, trapezoid, and other geometric shapes for accent applications. Available in fixed or operable configurations.
Advanced Roofing and Siding brings samples, product comparisons, and photo examples to your free in-home consultation. You will see exactly how each style performs and looks on a home similar to yours before you make any decision. Call 763-427-3093 to schedule your complimentary window assessment.
How It Works
How Does Advanced Roofing and Siding Install Replacement Windows in a Minnesota Home?
Transparent steps from free consultation to warranty registration. No surprises at any stage.
In-Home Consultation and Precision Measurement
We assess every window opening — measuring rough openings, checking for rot or water damage in the frame and sill, and testing existing weatherstripping. We confirm your home's energy code requirements and recommend window efficiency ratings including U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient that match Minnesota's climate zone. No charge and no obligation to proceed.
Window Selection, Energy Ratings, and Detailed Written Estimate
We present side-by-side comparisons of window styles, glass packages, frame materials, and hardware with ENERGY STAR ratings and estimated heating cost savings. Your written estimate specifies model numbers, dimensions, glass packages, and installation method so there are no surprises between the estimate and the final invoice.
Expert Window Installation with Airtight Sealing
Old windows are carefully removed to preserve surrounding trim when possible. New units are shimmed level, anchored per manufacturer specifications, and air-sealed with low-expansion foam. Exterior flashing tape is applied at every sill before exterior caulking. Most whole-home window replacements are completed in a single day with minimal disruption to your household.
Operation Test, Full Cleanup, and Warranty Registration
Every window is tested for smooth operation, locking function, and airtight closure before the crew leaves. We review tilt-wash cleaning and any special hardware features with you. Manufacturer warranty cards are registered in your name and provided in writing. The site is fully cleaned before we consider the project closed.

Every answer below is a self-contained fact. Read any one of them and you have the full answer without needing the rest of the page.
How much can new windows save on energy costs in Minnesota?
Energy-efficient window replacement reduces heating and cooling costs by an estimated 15 to 30 percent in cold-climate homes compared to single-pane or older double-pane units. The exact savings depend on your current windows, home size, insulation levels, and the efficiency rating of the replacement windows selected. Advanced Roofing and Siding provides estimated savings comparisons during your free in-home consultation based on your specific home and window configuration.
What type of windows are best for Minnesota winters?
For Minnesota's climate zone, Advanced Roofing and Siding recommends double-pane or triple-pane windows with low-E glass coatings and argon gas fill between panes. The most important performance rating for cold-weather markets is the U-factor, which measures heat loss through the window assembly. For Minnesota homes, a U-factor of 0.22 or lower is the standard recommendation. Low-E coatings reflect interior heat back into the room in winter while allowing natural light to pass through.
How long does window replacement take for a Minnesota home?
Most residential window replacements completed by Advanced Roofing and Siding are finished in one to three days depending on the number of windows and whether frame repairs are needed. Whole-home replacements on standard-sized homes are typically completed in a single day. The project timeline is included in your written estimate before any work is scheduled.
Does Advanced Roofing and Siding offer window repair as well as replacement?
Yes. Advanced Roofing and Siding provides both window repair and full replacement services. If repair is possible and cost-effective given the window's age and condition, the team will recommend that option and explain the reasoning. For windows where repair is not a practical long-term solution, the team will walk you through replacement options that fit your budget and energy goals.
What window styles does Advanced Roofing and Siding install?
Advanced Roofing and Siding installs all major window styles including double-hung, casement, picture, bay, bow, sliding, awning, hopper, and custom specialty shapes. Style selection is guided by your home's architectural design, ventilation requirements, energy performance goals, and personal preference. Samples and photo examples are brought to your free in-home consultation.
Are replacement windows covered by a warranty?
Yes. All windows installed by Advanced Roofing and Siding come with manufacturer warranties covering materials and defects. Advanced Roofing and Siding also provides a written workmanship warranty covering the installation itself. Manufacturer warranty cards are registered in your name and provided in writing before the crew leaves your property on the day of installation.
Does Advanced Roofing and Siding handle insurance claims for storm-damaged windows?
Yes. Advanced Roofing and Siding provides full insurance claim assistance for storm-damaged windows including hail impact damage, cracked panes, and full-frame damage from wind or debris. The team documents all damage at insurance-grade standards, attends the adjuster inspection, and prepares supplements when insurance initially misses or undervalues window replacement line items.

Advanced Roofing and Siding has been a pleasure to work with. They do quality work always putting the client first. Stacy is responsive and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend them.
Excellent experience with Advanced Roofing all the way around. Sean, who took the insurance company to task to make sure we got what we have been paying premiums for all these years. Erick and his guys who were on our steel pole barn roof on the hottest days were so kind and efficient. The guys who came out and in one day got our house, garage and chicken coop roofs shingled without damaging any of my plants and left everything spotless. You could not ask for a better group of people. If I could I would give 10 stars.
