Common Window Types and Styles
Bay and Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows extend outward from the home, creating additional interior space and enhancing curb appeal. These windows allow more natural light to enter while adding architectural dimension to the exterior.
They are ideal for living rooms, kitchens, and front-facing rooms where homeowners want to create a visual focal point.
Benefits of Bay & Bow Windows:
-
Added interior space
-
Enhanced exterior aesthetics
-
Increased natural light
-
Strong structural framing options
Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows are one of the most popular window styles for Minnesota homes due to their versatility and energy efficiency. Both the top and bottom sashes operate independently, allowing flexible airflow control throughout the year. This design makes them especially practical for managing indoor comfort during humid summers and cold winters.
Their traditional appearance works well in both modern and historic homes across the Twin Cities.
Benefits of Double Hung Windows:
-
Improved ventilation control
-
Easy cleaning from inside the home
-
Strong weather sealing performance
-
Classic, timeless appearance
Casement Windows
Casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward using a crank mechanism. When closed, the sash presses tightly against the frame, creating an excellent seal that improves insulation performance.
This makes casement windows ideal for Minnesota’s freezing winters and wind-driven storms.
They also provide unobstructed views and maximize natural light.
Benefits of Casement Windows:
-
Superior energy efficiency
-
Tight weather-resistant seal
-
Excellent airflow when fully open
-
Modern, clean design
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows open horizontally along a track, offering smooth operation and a streamlined look. They are a popular choice for contemporary homes and rooms with limited vertical space.
Because they have fewer moving parts than some other styles, sliding windows are durable and low maintenance while still offering strong energy performance.
Benefits of Sliding Windows:
-
Easy operation
-
Space-saving design
-
Large glass area for natural light
-
Minimal maintenance
Picture Windows
Picture windows are fixed, non-operable windows designed to maximize natural light and panoramic outdoor views. Since they do not open, they provide exceptional insulation and energy performance — a key benefit for Minnesota homeowners focused on heating efficiency.
They are often paired with operable windows to combine airflow and visibility.
Benefits of Picture Windows:
-
Maximum energy efficiency
-
Expansive outdoor views
-
Increased natural light
-
Modern architectural appeal
Awning Windows
Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom. This design allows ventilation even during light rain, making them practical for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements.
They are often installed above or below larger window units to improve airflow and overall home efficiency.
Benefits of Awning Windows:
-
Ventilation during rain
-
Compact and versatile
-
Energy-efficient design
-
Great for hard-to-reach areas
Skylights
Skylights introduce natural light into upper-level rooms and interior spaces where traditional wall windows are not possible. Modern skylight systems are built with insulated glass and weatherproof flashing systems to perform well in Minnesota’s snow and freeze-thaw cycles.
They brighten interiors while helping reduce daytime energy use.
Benefits of Skylights:
-
Increased natural light
-
Energy-efficient glass options
-
Improved interior aesthetics

Designed for harsh climates

Window Installation FAQs
How much does window replacement cost in Minnesota?
Window replacement costs in Minnesota typically vary depending on the window style, material, size, and installation complexity. Factors such as energy-efficient upgrades, custom sizing, and structural adjustments can affect pricing. At Excel Roofing MN, we provide free window estimates so homeowners can understand their options and make an informed decision without pressure.
How long does window installation take?
Most standard window replacement projects take one to two days depending on the number of windows being installed. Larger homes or custom installations may take longer. Our team works efficiently while ensuring proper sealing, insulation, and finishing to protect your home from Minnesota’s harsh weather.
What are the most energy-efficient windows for Minnesota homes?
For Minnesota’s cold winters and humid summers, energy-efficient windows typically include Low-E glass coatings, insulated frames, and multi-pane construction with argon gas fills. These features help reduce heat loss in winter and limit heat gain in summer, improving indoor comfort and lowering utility costs.
Do I need full window replacement or just glass replacement?
In some cases, glass replacement may solve minor issues. However, if the frame is damaged, outdated, drafty, or showing signs of moisture intrusion, full window replacement is often the better long-term solution. During your estimate, we’ll inspect your current windows and explain the best option for your home.
Can new windows really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Properly installed, energy-efficient windows can reduce drafts and heat loss, helping HVAC systems run more efficiently. Many homeowners notice improved indoor comfort immediately, along with long-term energy savings.

Yes. Professional window installation can be completed year-round, even during winter months. Our team uses careful installation methods to minimize heat loss during replacement and ensure your home remains protected throughout the process.

We install high-quality window systems from trusted manufacturers known for durability and energy performance, including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and Weather Shield. We help homeowners choose the right product based on budget, style, and performance goals.
Do new windows increase home value?
New windows can improve curb appeal, energy efficiency, and overall home comfort — all factors that contribute to resale value. Buyers often look for updated, energy-efficient features when evaluating a home.
