Frequently Asked Questions
What is full-frame window replacement?
Full-frame replacement removes the entire old window down to the rough opening, allowing correction of hidden issues like rot and moisture damage. This provides better insulation, air sealing, and long-term performance compared to insert replacement.
What window brands does Weatherguard install?
We install Pella (Impervia, Lifestyle, 250 Series), Marvin (Ultimate, Elevate, Essential), Kolbe (Ultra Series, Forgent Series), and Andersen (400 Series, A-Series, E-Series).
Why Full-Frame Replacement Matters
Many window companies only offer insert (pocket) replacements that leave the old frame in place — along with any hidden rot, mold, or air leaks around it. Weatherguard specializes in full-frame replacement: we remove the window down to the rough opening, repair damaged framing, then install the new unit with high-performance air sealing, insulation, and properly integrated flashing. The result is better energy performance, more glass area, and a window that lasts as long as the manufacturer intended.
Because we're factory-trained on Pella, Marvin, Kolbe, and Andersen product lines, we can match the right window to your home and budget — wood, fiberglass, or vinyl frames; double- or triple-pane glass; casement, double-hung, awning, bay, and bow styles. In cold climates like Minnesota and Colorado, we often recommend triple-pane low-E glass with argon fill; learn more on our energy efficient windows page.
Window projects pair naturally with new siding and exterior painting, since trim and flashing details overlap. We serve homeowners across the Twin Cities metro, western Wisconsin, Chicagoland, and the Denver metro — see all service areas or schedule a free in-home consultation.
