WHY CHOOSE REPLACEMENT

Minnesota’s Harsh Weather

Generally, windows in a Minnesota home typically last between 15 and 30 years. Exterior doors last 20 to 50 years, but the harsh Midwest weather can shorten these lifetimes.

Minnesota's Harsh conditions

    Extreme temperature swings

    • Minnesota’s rapid shifts from freezing winters to hot summers can cause window and door materials to expand, contract, warp, and deteriorate

    Heavy snow and ice

    • Snow and ice can build up around frames and thresholds, allowing moisture to work into small gaps and contribute to leaks and damage

    Freezing and thawing

    • Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can expand moisture in small cracks and gaps, damaging seals, frames, and surrounding materials

    Severe winds

    • Strong Minnesota winds can stress frames, damage screens, and loosen or compromise exterior components

    Hail and storm debris

    • Hail and wind-driven debris can crack glass, dent frames, and damage the exterior of windows and doors

    Summer Sun & Humidity

    • Intense sunlight and seasonal humidity can fade finishes, weaken seals, and accelerate wear on window and door materials

when to replace windows and doors

  • Windows or doors are difficult to open, close, or lock
  • Drafts are noticeable around windows or doors
  • Condensation or fog develops between glass panes
  • Frames show signs of rot, warping, or deterioration
  • Glass, screens, or door panels are cracked or damaged
  • Water leaks around windows or doors during rain
  • Utility bills continue to increase
  • Outside noise is more noticeable inside the home
  • Your home’s appearance and curb appeal need updating
  • You’re replacing siding or roofing at the same time

Windows Frequently Asked Questions

How long do windows and exterior doors last in Minnesota?
Most quality windows last between 20 and 40 years, depending on the material, installation quality, maintenance, and exposure to Minnesota’s extreme weather. Freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, moisture, and severe storms can shorten the lifespan of aging windows.

Depending on the door material, exterior doors last 20 to 50+ years. Direct exposure to the sun, harsh wind, rain or melting snow can shorten a door’s lifespan. It’s ideal to have an overhang to protect the door.

How do I know if my windows or doors need to be replaced?

Common signs your windows may need replacement include:

  • Drafts or air leaks
  • Condensation or fog between glass panes
  • Windows that are difficult to open or close
  • Water leaks during rain
  • Rotting or warped frames
  • Cracked or broken glass
  • Higher heating and cooling costs
  • Outside noise is more noticeable indoors
  • Visible deterioration of seals or weatherstripping
  • Frequent repairs

Common signs your doors may need replacement include:

  • Visible damage and rot
  • Drafts and energy loss
  • Sticking to the frame or scraping the floor
  • Deadbolt or latches no longer line up
  • Frost on the inside or water stains near the frame

A professional inspection can determine whether repairs are sufficient or if replacement is the better long-term investment.

Can you repair my windows or doors instead of replacing them?
Yes, in some cases. Depending on what is damaged or not functioning, we’ll determine whether repair or replacement provides the best value. We suggest during your initial inquiry to provide photos for our team to review via email.

You can send your questions and photos to admin@myproexteriors.com

What type of windows are best for Minnesota?
The best windows depend on your home’s style, energy-efficiency goals, budget, and maintenance preferences. We install a variety of high-quality vinyl, fiberglass, composite, wood-clad, and aluminum-clad windows designed to perform in Minnesota’s demanding climate.

During a free inspection, we can measure your windows, and provide free estimates. Depending on the chosen brand, we’re able to show you windows before installation.

Are energy-efficient windows worth it?
Yes. Modern energy-efficient windows help reduce heat loss during Minnesota winters, keep your home cooler during the summer, minimize drafts, improve comfort, and may lower your heating and cooling costs.
Can hail damage windows?
Yes. Hail can crack or break glass, dent aluminum cladding, damage frames, and weaken seals around the window. Even when damage appears minor, a professional inspection can identify issues that may lead to future leaks or reduced performance.
Can windows leak without broken glass?
Absolutely. Water often enters around the window—not through the glass itself. Failed caulking, deteriorated flashing, worn seals, or improper installation can allow moisture to penetrate the wall assembly, causing hidden damage.
Do you work with insurance claims?
Yes. We have extensive experience documenting storm damage and assisting homeowners throughout the insurance restoration process by providing detailed inspections and supporting documentation.
Should I replace my windows and doors with my siding?
Many homeowners replace their windows and/or doors with siding installation.
Installing new windows before new siding allows for proper flashing, weatherproofing, and trim installation while reducing labor costs and minimizing disruption.
Why choose a general contractor for window replacement?

Window replacement can uncover hidden issues such as water damage, rotten framing, deteriorated sheathing, insulation deficiencies, or flashing failures. As a licensed Minnesota and Wisconsin General Contractor, Professional Exteriors Inc. can identify and repair these issues while completing your window replacement, eliminating the need to coordinate multiple contractors.

Water intrusion can eventually cause:

  • Mold growth
  • Rotting wall sheathing
  • Insulation damage
  • Interior drywall damage
  • Structural deterioration

Early repairs can prevent much more expensive restoration work.
