Window Planning for Andover Homes
Andover has some of the biggest homes in the north metro. Most were built from the 1980s through the 2000s, with two stories, high window counts and large openings. The original builder windows on those homes are now 20 to 40 years old.
Fogged glass, drafts at the frame, worn sash hardware and glass that has lost its gas fill are the most common problems. The homes themselves are often in great shape. The windows just need to catch up.
Lakeside Exteriors starts with the opening. The crew checks the sill, framing, insulation and exterior trim, measures each window and builds the proposal around the home.

Window Conditions Across Andover Homes
The home's location does not diagnose the window. An on-site assessment determines whether the problem is limited to glass or operation, tied to the frame and trim, or connected to the surrounding wall.
1980s and 1990s Two-Stories
Original builder windows on these homes are now 25 to 40 years old. Fogged glass, worn cranks and drafts at the frame are common. The crew checks the frame, sill, trim and opening before recommending a window.
2000s Builder-Grade Windows
Many Andover homes from the 2000s came with builder-grade vinyl windows. Seals fail, glass fogs and sashes stop locking tight. A full-frame install lets the crew fix air leaks and water damage around the opening, too.
Great Rooms and Large Openings
Bigger Andover homes often have tall great room windows, joined units and wide openings facing the backyard. These need exact measurements and a written finish plan that covers glass area, operating style, frame material, water management and interior trim.

Why Andover Homeowners Choose Lakeside for Window Installation
Replacing windows in an Andover home usually means a lot of openings, and many of them are big. A careless install on 20 or more windows adds up to a lot of drafts. Lakeside helps Andover homeowners replace drafty, foggy, damaged or worn-out windows with trusted products and clean installation. The crew seals each opening before the new window goes in, then finishes the trim inside and out.

"I started Lakeside after years at large nationwide contractors because I wanted to do this the right way — where the homeowner actually knows what's happening, the crew shows up when they say they will, and nobody cuts corners because they're rushing to the next job. That's still how we operate on every single project."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Homeowners Ask.
We Answer.
Questions Andover homeowners ask before replacing their windows.
Who installs replacement windows in Andover, MN?
Lakeside Exteriors installs full-frame replacement windows in Andover, MN, including Pella, Andersen, Marvin and ProVia. The team works all over Andover, from Shadowbrook and Hickory Meadows to Rum River Hills and Bunker Hills Estates.
Are 20 to 30 year old windows worth replacing?
Often, yes. Many Andover homes still have the windows the builder put in during the 1990s and 2000s. Once the glass fogs, the seals fail or the sashes stop locking, the window loses most of its energy value. Full-frame replacement fixes the opening itself, including insulation, flashing and trim. If a window is sound and repair makes more sense, the crew says so at the inspection.
Why does Lakeside only do full-frame window replacement?
An insert window set inside an old frame keeps every problem hiding in that frame, from rot to air leaks. Full-frame replacement takes the old window out down to the rough opening, so the crew can fix hidden damage, then flash, insulate and seal the new window. That's the only way Lakeside installs windows.
Is Lakeside Exteriors licensed and insured in Minnesota?
Yes. Lakeside Exteriors holds Minnesota Contractor License #CR807029 and carries full insurance coverage. Homeowners can verify the license through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.
How much does it cost to replace windows in a house in Andover?
The cost to replace windows in an Andover house depends on the number of windows, style, brand, glass package and frame condition. Every Lakeside estimate is itemized, with product, labor, disposal and finishing listed, so homeowners can compare line by line.
Can Lakeside replace all the windows on a large Andover home at once?
Yes. Lakeside regularly replaces 20 or more windows on a single home. The crew plans the work room by room and cleans up as it goes, so the house stays livable during the project.
