Window Installation
Our Marvin-certified professionals deliver full-frame and insert window installations using energy-efficient products like Marvin Signature Collection. With 90+ years of combined experience, we ensure precise measurements, weatherproof sealing, and minimal disruption to your home. Backed by lifetime warranties, our installations improve energy savings while maintaining architectural integrity. Customers report consistent energy bill stability even after extensive replacements.
Door Replacement
We install Thermatru fiberglass entry systems and Marvin doors that enhance curb appeal while resisting Minnesota's extreme weather. Our process includes precise measurements, threshold sealing, and hardware installation. The patented Ultrex fiberglass material expands 87% less than vinyl, preventing drafts. Customers praise our attention to detail, with installations completed cleanly and efficiently by teams averaging 20+ years' experience.
Siding Services
Diamond Kote LP SmartSide installations feature engineered wood siding with 30-year no-fade warranties. Our crews apply SmartGuard-treated materials that resist moisture, termites, and fungal decay. RigidStack siding options provide 375% greater strength than standard lap siding. The pre-finished system eliminates painting needs while maintaining wood aesthetics. Customers benefit from coordinated color visualization tools and expert installation matching Minnesota climate demands.
Financing Options
We offer Regions Bank 24-month same-as-cash financing (19.99% APR) and in-house payment plans for qualifying projects. The Scherer Bros. Account requires 20% deposit with 16% annual interest on remaining balances. Financing specialists guide customers through applications with instant credit decisions. These options make energy-efficient upgrades accessible while maintaining competitive pricing structures that include seasonal promotions like $1,000 window installation discounts.
Project Management
Our Premier Project Management ensures seamless execution from consultation to cleanup. Dedicated coordinators handle permits, material scheduling, and crew assignments while maintaining regular customer communication. The process includes pre-installation measurements, timeline confirmations, and post-installation inspections. Customers consistently highlight our punctuality, thorough explanations, and meticulous cleanup as differentiators, with crews often completing projects ahead of schedule while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
