Creating a beautiful house is as much about the aesthetics of what you choose as it is about the quality and style of the products you use. Roofing, siding, windows, and exterior details like gutters, and downspouts create the cocoon around your home keeping it safe and safeguarding it against the natural elements, pests, and intruders. They should all work and blend together. But we have all seen the house where the green shingles should have been gray and you wonder how they missed it.
When you’re considering buying roofing, siding, and windows you are looking at some of the most costly projects homeowners have to face. The other thing about them is once the decisions are made and the product installed it will be or should be decades before you will have the need to do these projects again. How that happens and how long it takes to need replacements can have a lot to do with the process of replacing these things in the first place.
New forms of and styles of roofing, siding, windows, and doors keep coming on the market. They offer the benefits of energy efficiency, lower heating and air conditioning costs, lower emissions, low-maintenance, fire-resistance. Starting the planning process and evaluating your needs, considering all of the products options and the variation in cost is one of the things that Minneapolis Window Outfitters, a roofing, siding, and remodeling contractor can help you do.

Window dilemma - how to add the maximum light and ventilation in a tight space. Solution? Awning windows. Window Outfitters, Inc., THE replacement window company in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area, offers awning windows as well as a wide variety of other window styles – just the right solution for every window dilemma.
What makes awning windows the right choice in this situation? Unlike sliding windows and double-hungs, awning windows don’t require extra space to slide open a window sash. And because they crank up and out, they can direct airflow down and through the window opening. Lastly, because the entire window surface area opens, you get the maximum light and ventilation available.
Awning windows are often used in garages because they are on average less expensive than other window types. But the most common and appropriate use of awning windows is in basements and lower level areas where there is limited space between the ceiling of the lower room and the outside ground level. Small sliding windows might also work in this situation, but you’ll only air flowing through half the window opening. If ventilation is your main concern, awning windows are the best solution.
Consider some of the other possibilities for awning windows like in a bathroom where you need air and light but want to retain privacy. Awning windows placed up high such as above a tub wall or over a toilet can provide light and ventilation without exposing the room to view. Like casements, awning windows are also highly energy-efficient since the entire window panel closes tight against the frame. Awnings and casements are the best window choices if eliminating drafts is a major concern.
If you’re interested in learning how awnings or other window styles just might be the answer to your window dilemmas, contact the window solution experts at Window Outfitters today Call (952) 746-6661 in the Minneapolis area or (651) 209-1001 in St. Paul. Consultations are without charge or obligation.

With the tail-end of winter approaching, spring cleaning will soon be upon us. Spring cleaning for many Minneapolis area homeowners includes outside window cleaning, a chore most of you claim goes on the very bottom of your “to do” list. Studies show that people would rather clean just about anything else besides a window. If that sounds like you, maybe its time to replace your high-maintenance, old windows with new low-maintenance high-tech windows that are a lot easier to clean.
It used to be that exterior window cleaning meant either dragging out heavy ladders and lugging around a bucket of wash water, tools, and perhaps a hose. For those with two- or three-story homes, that often meant hiring a professional window cleaner to handle those higher levels. Extra work, extra expense – just to keep those windows looking clean for a few months. And unfortunately, after some muddy spring weather and flocking birds, those windows don’t stay clean very long. More ladders and buckets. More window cleaners. NO MORE!
Window Outfitters, the leading replacement window company in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, has good news for those of you who are tired of washing your window exteriors. Window Outfitters offers many lines of low- or no-maintenance replacement windows with panes that tilt in – making window cleaning from the comfort of inside your home a snap. And many of these window lines come with such window-cleaning chore busters as grids, blinds, shades, and other window treatments placed between glass panes – where they stay nice and clean. No tedious cleaning, no dusting.
Haven’t you got better things to do this spring than clean your windows? If you’d like to hear how new replacement windows can make your window chores all but disappear, contact Window Outfitters today. We’d be happy to make you an appointment at our showroom to show you the beautiful window cleaning solutions we have to offer Minneapolis homeowners.
If you’ve noticed cool drafts in your rooms already this winter, you can plan now to make this the last year you put up with adding extra layers or turning up the heat. Drafts from poorly-fitting, deteriorating old windows not only make your rooms uncomfortable, they are a sign that you’re losing heat around your windows and that you’re spending more on heating bills than you need to.
No matter how good your old windows were when you installed them, they’re no match for today’s modern window technology. This is especially true if you own an older or historic home with the original wood windows. Wood dries out over time, expanding and contracting with temperature and humidity. The result is that even windows which fit snugly when they were new now have gaps which leak air. Additional caulking is a short-term help, but caulk deteriorates and needs to be replaced frequently.
If you’ve hesitated to replace those old windows because you really like the traditional look and craftsmanship of your existing windows, Window Outfitters, Inc. has good news for you. We’re the Twin Cities area’s leading replacement window company, and we specialize in windows and doors for older and historic homes. we understand the importance of preserving architectural integrity and old-world charm that many contemporary window lines just don’t provide. But we work with several premium window companies who offer modern energy-efficient window technology combined with traditional styling. Many options are available to replicate the look of your existing windows and at the same time adding maintenance-free convenience as well as features such as double and triple panes and gas filling to keep the cold air out and the warm air inside. And with modern vinyl and fiberglass windows, you won’t have to worry about the constant expanding and contracting, warping, and shrinking that wooden windows are subject to. Even if you’ve been holding back because you love the look of real wood, we can offer you options from such companies as Pella, whose Architect Series windows feature a maintenance-free exterior combined with a solid wood interior.
Don’t put up with cold and drafty rooms for one more winter. Don’t let the cold stop you – we install windows even in the winter. Call the replacement window experts at Window Outfitters today. We can schedule an appointment for you at our Minneapolis area showroom so you can see for yourself the beautiful window solutions available.
“One size fits all” rarely does. And the same is true of siding products. Most siding has been developed to cover a wide range of conditions. But what’s “average” for one part of the United States isn’t for another. For instance, homeowners in the Southwest have to deal with high temperatures and dryness, while here in Minnesota our biggest weather threats are harsh storms, heavy snows, and cold temperatures. It just makes sense that siding engineered to fit an average range of weather and environmental conditions might not hold up well in areas that experience temperature and humidity extremes.
That’s why the James Hardie Company–the leading siding company in the world, and the #1 siding product in the United States–developed the HardieZone® siding system. Hardie fiber cement siding is extremely durable, and Hardie has engineered its siding products for eight different climate zones. taking into account humidity and temperatures as well as other factors. What this means for you is that the siding recommended for upper Midwest climates is just what your home needs to stand up to Mother Nature’s conditions here in the Twin Cities.
Extreme cold? Not a problem. Hardie siding isn’t susceptible to cracking in cold temperatures, unlike vinyl. And it won’t warp and crack from extreme temperature fluctuations like wood will, either. Mold damage? It’s not a factor – moisture won’t affect HardieZone® siding. Insects can infest wood siding and rodents can gnaw their way in. These aren’t a threat with Hardie siding. Remember last spring’s hail storms? Many homeowners with aluminum siding suffered hail damage. Not those who had Hardie siding covering their homes. James Hardie siding is incredibly impact resistant. And James Hardie siding, while extremely durable, is also highly fire-resistant, so much so that many insurance companies offer discounts on homeowner’s insurance when Hardie fiber cement siding is installed.
Window Outfitters, Inc., is proud to be a James Hardie siding installation contractor. Yes, our name says windows, but we’re a full-service home exterior remodeling contractor, and James Hardie siding is just one of the home improvement products we offer to help Minneapolis home owners beautify and protect their homes. Contact us today to find out more about James Hardie siding and how we can help you with climate-appropriate home remodeling solutions.
