Maximize Spring Sunshine with Replacement Bay and Bow Windows Mpls

Spring sunshine has a special fresh feel to it, and you don’t need to leave it all outdoors.  With bay and bow replacement windows from Window Outfitters, you can bring more of that beautiful sunshine in to your Minneapolis area home.  Because bay and bow windows extend out from your wall, you get sunshine coming in from three directions and not just one.  Per square foot of window opening, no other window style maximizes light like bay and bow windows.

Window Outfitters, Inc. is the Minneapolis and St. Paul area’s leading replacement window company, and we’ve got lots of bay and bow window styles available for you to choose from.  Starting with a central picture window (with or without traditional grids), you can add double-hung or crank-out windows on each side to provide ventilation as well as addititional illumination.  And with the almost endless design and structural options available, you can choose such things as maintenance-free interior and/or exterior frames, increased energy efficiency, as well as customized hardware and color finishes.  And if you decide that a bay or bow window just isn’t right for your home, we can work with you to find just the window styles that will work.  With many standard and custom shapes and sizes available, you’re sure to find the right windows for your home, your taste, and your budget.

Bring in the spring sunshine.  Cut your window maintenance chores.  Save on your energy bills.  Improve the value of your home.  Replacement windows from Window Outfitters offer all this and more.  Call us today at (952) 746-6661 in the Minneapolis area, or at (651) 209-1001 in the St. Paul area for a free, no-obligation consultation.  Don’t miss out on more sunshine in your home!

Bring Spring Into Your Home with a New Greenhouse Replacement Window

Spring has arrived early in the Twin Cities this year, and Minneapolis and St. Paul homeowners are making plans to take advantage of the unseasonably beautiful weather.  And while it’s still a little early to be planting flowers outdoors, why not bring a little spring greenery into your home with a new garden (also called greenhouse) window from Window Outfitters?  Window Outfitters is THE Minneapolis area’s replacement window company, and we’ve got lots of window options available to maximize light and ventilation in your home as well as cut down on your maintenance chores and energy bills.  A greenhouse window is a uinque way to do just that.

Greenhouse or garden windows are a great option where an operable window isn’t necessary.  They work well in areas that are exposed to light (such as southern walls).   And because they extend out from the exterior wall of your home, they permit more light to enter based on a traditional window of the same opening size, much as bay and bow windows do.  Light enters from all three surrounding sides as well as from above, giving you great illumination as well as the perfect place to display your favorite potted plants.  Some homeowners also use these greenhouse windows as starter areas for plants that will later be transplanted outdoors.

Wherever you have appropriate sunshine you’d like to bring more of into your home, and if you want to add a little more freshness and springtime feel to your home, greenhouse windows are a great solution.  Consider them for such areas as bathrooms and above kitchen sinks.  Many have screened side vents to provide air flow as well as light.

If a greenhouse replacement window sounds like a good fit for your home, contact the replacement window experts at Window Outfitters today.  Call us at (952) 746-6661 in the Minneapolis area, or at (651) 209-1001 in the St. Paul area, or submit our online contact form

Cut Your “Honey-Do” List Down with Low-Maintenance Replacement Windows

Spring in Minnesota brings flowers, birds, and “honey-do” lists.  If your exterior home maintenance chores you’ve put off until spring are threatening to take over whatever free time you might have to enjoy this beautiful spring weather, let Window Outfitters show you how you can cut those “to-do” lists a bit with low- and no-maintenance replacement windows.  We’re THE replacement window company in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, and we specialize in helping our customers love and enjoy their homes more.  And one of the ways to do that is to replace your old windows with new high-tech, energy-saving windows from companies such as Pella and Owens Corning.

For many homeowners, spring means dragging out the step ladder to take down those cumbersome storm windows, wash the exterior glass, scrape and recaulk, scrape again and repaint or stain, and then put up screens.  If you don’t have storm windows to deal with, you may have interior and/or exterior window film to take down and then deal with adhesive residue.  If all this has gotten to be a bit much for you, and you’re standing on your step ladder watching your neighbors drive off to the golf course, perhaps it’s time to do away with all (or most) of those window chores for good.

Window Outfitters works with many top-quality window companies and can offer you an almost endless variety of design options, many of which are low- or no-maintenance such as vinyl or fiberglass exterior frames, self-storing screens, and tilt-in sashes to permit easy cleaning of exterior glass surfaces from inside your homes.  Window Outfitters even offers a unique line of windows from Pella’s Designer Series which gives you the option of mounting interchangeable blinds, grids, and window treatments between glass panes to cut down on interior window cleaning chores as well.

If you’ve got better things to do with your spring free time besides standing on a step ladder working on your windows, contact Window Outfitters today for a free consultation.  Call us at (952) 746-6661 in the Minneapolis area, or at (651) 209-1001 in the St. Paul area.  We can even schedule a no-obligation appointment for you at our Savage showroom so you can see for yourself the beautiful window options we offer.

With this Burnsville Area Replacement Window Company, the Possibilities Are Limitless

If your Burnsville area home is looking a little dated and faded, perhaps its time to consider a facelift and adding the convenience and energy-saving technology of new replacement windows.   Window Outfitters, Inc., is THE leading replacement window company in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, and we include Burnsville in our service area.    We specialize in customer service, and that means we aren’t happy unless our clients are.    After years of working with many of your Twin Cities friends and neighbors, we’ve learned that there is no “best” or “right” window.

One size, one style, one manufacturer does not fit every home or personal taste.  That’s why we work with a variety of top-quality window manufacturers like Pella, Andersen, and Owens Corning (as well as others) to provide our customers with a wide range of products to choose from.  And because we know that seeing a window in person is a lot more effective than looking at a picture, we offer appointments at our Savage showroom so that you can see for yourself the beautiful window options available.

Showroom appointments and consultations are free and no-obligation.  We’ll be happy to sit down with you and talk about what you have in mind for your replacement window project.  Taking into consideration your lifestyle, your budget, your home’s exterior design, and your tastes, we can then recommend a number of window types and styles.  And the possibilities are almost limitless.  You can choose from the beauty of natural wood, or the freedom of low- or no-maintenance windows, or you can combine both for a window with a no-maintenance exterior and interior wood to match or complement your existing trim or furniture.

Grilles, old-world-style hardware, between-the-glass blinds and window treatments are just some of the options you can choose from.  And because we work with companies that offer custom window sizes and configurations, you’re not limited to standard window styles like double-hung or casement.   You might consider a half-round window over your picture window or sliding door if your room has high ceilings.  Need more light in a stairwell?  Perhaps a round or oval window is just the thing to bring in the sunshine.  Or if what you’re really looking for is a unique and contemporary design, there are all kinds of standard and custom shapes that can be combined for a window look that is just what you’re looking for.

And if you don’t have any idea what you’re looking for, the replacement window experts at Window Outfitters can help you, too.  Our goal is helping our customers love their homes, and we understand that the right windows are a big part of that.  Contact Window Outfitters today to schedule an appointment at our showroom and/or a free consultation.   In Bursnville, call (952) 746-6661.
