Minneapolis Window Repair, Restoration & Replacement

Name: Apex Window Werks
Brand: Apex Window Werks
Rating: 4.8 (3405 reviews)

At Apex Window Werks, we provide expert window repair and restoration in Minneapolis, MN, working across Longfellow, Nokomis, Powderhorn, Northeast, Camden and the neighbourhoods around the Chain of Lakes. Painted-shut sashes, broken cords, cracked period glass and damaged leaded panels are our core work.

Minneapolis has one of the oldest housing stocks of any major American city, and that shapes everything. Bungalows, four-squares and story-and-a-halves built before 1940 carry wood double-hung sashes on weights and cords, divided lights and art glass — windows made to be serviced, not thrown away.

Why Choose Our Minneapolis Window Restoration Services?

Built to Be Serviced: Old-growth sashes come apart and go back together; what fails is paint, putty, cords and weatherstripping.
Leaded and Art Glass: Panels re-leaded and re-puttied, single lights replaced without disturbing the surrounding glass.
Original Sightlines Kept: We match divided-light patterns and sash profiles, because on a pre-war elevation the difference is obvious.
Every Neighbourhood: From the Chain of Lakes to Northeast and Camden, across the city’s residential ZIP codes.

These windows have already lasted a century. Contact Apex Window Werks today for professional window restoration in Minneapolis, MN.

Window Repair, Restoration & Glass Replacement in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Minneapolis has one of the oldest housing stocks of any large American city, and that single fact drives almost everything about window work here. Whole neighbourhoods — Longfellow, Nokomis, Powderhorn, Northeast, Camden, the streets around the Chain of Lakes — were built before 1940 in bungalow, four-square and story-and-a-half form, with wood double-hung sashes running on weights and cords, divided lights, and leaded or art glass in stair and dining room openings. These windows were designed to be dismantled and serviced, and most of them still can be.

Period Sash Restoration Across Minneapolis Neighbourhoods

What fails on a Minneapolis window is almost never the thing people assume. The timber is dense old-growth and generally sound; what has gone is the paint, the glazing putty, the sash cords and the weatherstripping — all of which are renewable. We free the sash, replace the cords, re-balance the weights, cut out any localised rot, re-glaze around surviving original panes, weatherstrip the assembly and refinish it. Leaded and art glass panels are re-leaded and re-puttied rather than replaced. A properly fitted storm window then carries the winter performance.

Minneapolis weather is hard on windows and doors, cycling from subzero January nights to humid July afternoons in the space of a few months. Those swings push wood sashes to expand and contract, break down weatherstripping, and let seals fail between panes, which is why foggy glass and drafty frames are so common from Longfellow to Northeast Minneapolis. We start every job with a free on-site assessment and look for the fix before recommending a full replacement. Most repairs are finished in a single visit, and we clean up the work area before we leave. The goal is simple: windows and doors across Hennepin County that seal tight, open smoothly, and that we stand behind once the repair is done.

Apex Window Werks also serves nearby St. Paul, St. Louis Park, Edina and Richfield.

Apex experts came by quickly, were professional, and finished the estimate on the spot. The office followed up with me over the next few weeks as I wasn't ready to make a decision. I then affirmed to move ahead, they scheduled within a week. The installation crew was polite, and professional and did great work. The cost was a good value for the work done. I would highly recommend it. I'm delighted to have my two windows fixed. The one I can open again and the other I can see clearly out again.

Joanne Couture, Arlington Heights, IL

Apex Window Werks replaced the foggy glass on our kitchen window. They carefully removed the old glass pane and installed a new one, ensuring precise measurements and using silicone to secure it properly. From the first person I spoke to on the phone, to the couple of gentlemen who installed the glass, everyone was easy to talk to and they were all very professional. Highly recommended!

Ofelia Miguel, Joliet, IL

Service technicians were polite and professional. They removed damaged parts of the window, cut new pieces to fit, stained the wood, and installed them nicely. The team cleaned up as if they were never there. I would recommend Apex Windows Werks for your window repair. Friends living near me ordered window repairs based on my recommendation as well.

Glenn Kaupert Chicago, IL

Had someone come out to look at a few windows I’m having issues with - none of them needed a full frame replacement at the moment but the technician was incredibly kind and informative. The technician determined that replacing the entire window frame was not necessary, which saved me both time and money. I feel confident about caring for my current windows, I know what to look for to let me know replacements are needed, and I will definitely be coming back to Apex when that is the case. Thank you!

Alyssa Nickow, Elgin, IL

I was thrilled that Apex Windows Werks had the right parts, and was able to come right out and repair my window on site. They were very prompt, and they saved me quite a bit of money over the replacement quote I got from another window company that didn’t do repairs.

FAQs about
window & door repair

Should I replace the original windows in my Minneapolis bungalow?

In most cases we would say no. Sashes from that era were made from dense old-growth timber and built to be taken apart and serviced. What has failed is paint, putty, cords and weatherstripping — all renewable. Restoration plus a good storm window normally costs less than a like-for-like replacement and performs comparably.

Can leaded or art glass be repaired?

Yes. Leaded panels can be re-leaded and re-puttied, and a single cracked light can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the panel. Replacing a whole sash to deal with one broken piece is almost never necessary.

How do I get modern performance without losing original windows?

Weatherstrip the restored sash properly and fit a well-made storm window. That combination brings a period double-hung into the same performance range as a modern insulated unit, and the original window stays in the house.
