Your Guide To Twin Cities’ Home Window & Door Replacement

Lindus Construction’s COO, Andy Lindus, guides you through what you need to know when choosing new windows or an entry door for your Twin Cities’ home.

Choosing the Right Front Entry Door

One home improvement that consistently offers the highest return on investment is the installation of a new front door. The primary reasons for this are that the correct door can improve a home’s energy efficiency and curb appeal.

Selecting the correct front door can quickly become overwhelming because of the endless color, window placement, lighting and lock options. The door material we most frequently recommend is fiberglass.

While they offer the aesthetics of wood, fiberglass doors offer additional insulation. They’re low-maintenance and do not rust or deteriorate. Beware of installing builder grade fiberglass doors because they are notorious for cracking, which dramatically shortens their lifespan.

Sun Tunnels & Skylights

Another home improvement that brings a high level of satisfaction upon completion is the installation of a sun tunnel. They work especially well in rooms that do not have access to an exterior wall. Popular placements include closets, halls, stairways, kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.

When placed properly, sun tunnels and skylights eliminate the need for artificial light sources during daytime hours. Our VELUX skylights and sun tunnels come with a lifetime leak warranty, offering homeowners the ultimate peace of mind.

Windows & Doors for a Historic Home

Owners of historic homes understand that maintaining their charm often requires preserving original elements to keep the home unique. In fact, at a recent three season porch project, the homeowners requested we install leaded antique glass pieces in a way that they could easily be removed should the homeowners relocate.

However, historic homeowners that choose to keep a property’s original windows do themselves a disservice because they are compromising the home’s energy efficiency and their overall comfort.

Window Replacement Reviews:

Have had Lindus Construction out to my house to replace some old windows with SeasonGuard windows, and twice to install insulation in my attic. All three times the Lindus Construction team has been professional, courteous, and their attention to detail is outstanding. Just hired LIndus Construction to install new gutters on the house and I have no doubt that this experience will be as good as my previous experiences. Kudos to the Lindus Construction team!!"

"We had several large windows replaced. Everyone from the phone representative to the salesperson to the scheduler to the installers was knowledgeable, polite, easy to work with and professional. The installation went smoothly due to the skill and hard work of the installers and the windows look great. It seems like everyone was proud of their role in the Lindus team."

"We had Matt Puhl come out and talk to us about some windows. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Jake and Jim were the guys that came out and installed all of our windows and did a marvelous job. They were clean, courteous and took a lot of pride in their final product and it showed, so much in fact that I bought the guys lunch! I knew that Lindus was top quality products, what I didn't know was that it was such great service."
