Coon Rapids, Minnesota
Licensed Window Replacement in Coon Rapids, MN
Three eras of window sit side by side in Coon Rapids, and the job is different for each one. The ramblers and split levels still carry original wood double hung sash or the aluminum someone put in during the 1980s. The 1990s streets are on first generation vinyl. Hail has been through most of them since.

Hail did not spare the windows
The June 11, 2017 storm still shapes this work. Hail that piled two feet deep at some intersections did not stop at the roof: it cracked window cladding, tore screens, pitted aluminum frames and drove water past glazing beads that had already dried out. Plenty of those windows got patched and left. What we find depends on the street. A 1960s rambler usually has single glazed wood sash behind aluminum triple track storms, painted shut and running on worn balances. A 1980s aluminum slider conducts cold straight through the frame and sweats every January. The 1990s side of town is on first generation vinyl with fogged glass. We photograph the windows the same way we do the roof, and the written scope lists every opening along with any drywall repairs inside, so you see all of it at once.
Window Replacement in Coon Rapids
What replacement fixes on a Coon Rapids home
Cold aluminum frames finally gone
The 1980s aluminum units on a lot of these houses conduct cold right through the frame, so the sill sweats and the sash ices at the corners. A thermally broken replacement stops that at the source.
Gaps the 1960s builders left
Builders then stuffed the gap around a window with loose fiberglass, which stops nothing. New units get foam at the perimeter and a proper interior seal, and the corner room stops being the cold one.
Egress that works downstairs
Split level and walkout lower levels often have windows too small to climb out of. If a bedroom is down there, replacement is the moment to bring the opening up to egress size instead of matching the old one.
Patched hail damage finally fixed
Plenty of windows here were patched after the 2017 hail and left with cracked cladding and torn screens. New units close those openings properly, so water stops working past dried out glazing beads and into the wall.
Storm windows come off for good
A lot of the older houses here still run wood sash behind aluminum triple track storms that get hauled up and down twice a year. New double glazed units end that seasonal chore.
Screens that keep bugs out
Torn and pitted screens have been on a lot of these houses since the hail. New units come with screens that actually fit, which matters on the streets around Crooked Lake and Cenaiko Lake.
The way we work on these houses
A final walkthrough at every opening
Before we leave a Coon Rapids house we walk every replaced window with you, open and lock each sash, and check the interior trim and exterior capping, so anything that needs attention gets fixed while the crew is still there.
Old openings opened up carefully
Pulling wood sash out of a sixty year old wall means old trim, old plaster and sometimes old paint. We take the interior apart in pieces rather than prying it off.
We look at the roof too
If we are already on the house, we will tell you what the shingles look like. Sometimes the windows can wait a year and the roof cannot, and you should hear that.
Straight answers about mixed eras
Many of these houses have had two rounds of windows already. We will tell you which of them are worth keeping and which are the reason your furnace runs.

What Coon Rapids homeowners ask
What people in Coon Rapids ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Can I replace the windows on my Coon Rapids house one side at a time?
Yes, and many owners here do. We usually start with the worst side, often the elevation that took the 2017 hail or the one where fogged glass or sweating aluminum is worst. We measure every opening at the start so later orders match the color, grille pattern and sightlines of the first round.
Should the original wood windows in my 1965 rambler be repaired or replaced?
Look at the bottom rail and the sill. If the wood is sound and the sash just needs glazing, weatherstripping and paint, repair is real work but it is worth doing. If the rail is punky, the joints have opened and the storms are shot, you are rebuilding a window that was single glazed to begin with, and replacement wins.
How long does a full window replacement take on a Coon Rapids split level?
Most houses that size are a one to two day install once the units are on site, and the wait for the units themselves is usually the longer part. Split levels add a little time because the upper gable windows need staging or interior scaffold, and the lower level openings sometimes need block work at the sill.
