Minnesota Exteriors

We recently purchased a home that has original windows (the house was built in the early 90’s) and they are deteriorating and showing signs of rot. We will have to replace all of the windows in the home. We are planning to spread this project over the course of 3 years. MEI did the first round of window replacements for us this summer.
Everything went very smoothly. They have a big showroom and that was very nice because it allowed us to see all of the different window options side by side. We decided to go with Lindsay/​Pinnacle windows and also one Weather shield window. We probably would have done all Lindsay windows, but Weathershield had a finish that was a better match for the trim finishes in our basement. We decided to go with Lindsay mostly because of the lifetime transferable warranty, quality, and also the fact that they are a local company. We found MEI through Ryan at My 3 Quotes (his service is awesome to help find the lowest cost contractors for window replacement and he manages the project for you from beginning to end;
) and we were pleased with their responsiveness and professionalism. They also have a lifetime warranty on their labor! We plan to use them next year for «phase two» of replacing our additional windows. Windows are a (shockingly) huge expense and I did a LOT of research to find the best quality for our money and i feel that we got a great value from MEI.

I would not recommend them at all. Stay away !

OMG, don’t even bother with this business — move on to another company to get an estimate… Woman called Becky called to set up an appointment to come and estimate the cost of about 12 replacement windows. I left work early specifically to meet with her and she never showed. 30 minutes after the original time, I called the phone number, got her voice mail. Left her a message saying it was 30 minutes past the scheduled time and wanted to confirm she was on her way. Never heard from her. No attempt to contact me… radio silence all the way. If an estimator can’t keep their commitments or even bother to follow up (sure, things happen, emergencies come up), I’d not want to do business with a company and get the same lousy service.
Stay away — unprofessional first and only and last impression. Take your business elsewhere.
