Expert Roofing Services in Twin Cities, MN
From roof replacement and siding installation to windows, gutters, and painting, New Town Exteriors & Painters has delivered excellence to Twin Cities homeowners since 1987.
Some windows look fine until daily use proves otherwise. They stick when opened, slide unevenly, let in cold air, or feel unsafe on upper floors. For many Twin Cities properties, the right hung window can fix comfort and use without changing the whole exterior style.
New Town Exteriors & Painters installs and replaces Single & Double Hung Windows in Twin Cities, Minnesota, for residential and commercial properties. The work is planned with the window opening, siding, trim, paint, gutters, and nearby roofing details in mind.
That matters because a window is not only glass. It connects to the wall, the exterior finish, and the way water moves around the building.
A roof problem can show up in small ways first. A ceiling mark, loose shingles, gutter overflow, worn flashing, or paint damage near the roofline can all point to a larger issue. New Town Exteriors & Painters helps homeowners get clear answers before small roofing concerns turn into bigger repairs.
Our Roofing Services in Twin Cities include roof leak repair, asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, metal roofing, engineered composite roofing, storm damage help, and related exterior work. Since roofing connects to gutters, siding, windows, trim, and paint, our team reviews the full exterior with practical care.
Hung Window Replacement in Twin Cities
Single and double-hung windows are common across Twin Cities, MN homes and business properties. They fit many wall styles, look familiar from the street, and work well in bedrooms, offices, rental units, hallways, and shared spaces. However, old, hung windows can become frustrating.
The sash may drag. Locks may loosen. Screens may bend. Paint may stick to the frame.
Cold air can also sneak through gaps during winter. New Town Exteriors & Painters reviews the full window area before replacement begins. The team looks at the frame, trim, siding connection, paint condition, and moisture signs around the opening.
This gives property owners a clearer plan. It also helps prevent a new window from being placed into a weak or unfinished area.
Single Hung VS Double Hung Windows
Single hung vs double hung windows is a common question for homeowners and commercial property owners. The difference comes down to how the sashes move.
With a single hung window, the bottom sash moves while the top sash stays fixed. With a double-hung window, both the top and bottom sashes can move. That can help with airflow, cleaning, and comfort.
Single-hung windows can work well where simple use matters. Double hung windows can be better for upper floors, tight rooms, and spaces where cleaning from inside is helpful.
New Town Exteriors & Painters helps property owners compare the two based on room use, wall size, budget, and exterior condition. The right choice should feel practical, not forced.
Andersen Single & Double Hung Windows
Andersen single and double-hung windows are a strong option for many Minnesota properties. They offer a familiar look and can suit homes, offices, rental buildings, and commercial spaces.
Still, brand choice is only one part of the project. A good window needs the right opening, a tight fit, proper sealing, and a clean finish around the frame.
New Town Exteriors & Painters checks how the new window will meet the existing siding, paint, and trim. The team also reviews nearby roofing or gutter concerns when water may be affecting that wall.
This approach helps protect the finished result. It also helps the window look like it belongs on the property, not like a quick swap.
Twin Single Hung Windows For Wider Rooms
Twin single-hung windows can work well when one window feels too narrow, but a large picture window does not fit the room’s use. Two matching windows can bring in daylight while keeping a classic shape.
This setup can help bedrooms, offices, meeting rooms, waiting spaces, and front-facing rooms feel brighter. It can also keep the exterior balanced when the wall has enough width.
New Town Exteriors & Painters reviews the wall and exterior layout before recommending twin single-hung windows. The team considers siding lines, trim spacing, paint finish, and how the windows will appear from the outside.
For commercial spaces, this can improve light without making the building look too modern for its style.
Residential Hung Windows For Daily Use
Residential hung windows need to be easy to open, lock, clean, and live with. A window that fights back every day can make a room feel older than it is.
New Town Exteriors & Painters helps homeowners replace worn windows with choices that fit the room and the home’s exterior. Bedrooms may need better airflow. Living rooms may need a cleaner view. Upper floors may need windows that are easier to clean from the inside.
Some projects also connect with interior wall painting after replacement. Others need exterior painting, siding touch-ups, or trim repair once the old window comes out.
Because New Town Exteriors & Painters handles painting, roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and related exterior work, the project can be reviewed with more than one surface in mind.
Cedar ShakesCommercial Hung Windows With A Clean Look
Commercial properties need windows that support function and appearance. Hung windows can suit offices, small shops, apartment buildings, professional suites, mixed-use spaces, and service businesses.
Old windows can send the wrong message. Fogged glass, peeling trim, uneven frames, or stuck sashes can make a building feel tired. They can also affect comfort for staff, tenants, and customers.
New Town Exteriors & Painters works with commercial owners who need window replacement plus related exterior support. That may include paint, siding, gutters, or roofing details near the window areas.
The work is planned around the property’s use. A client-facing space may need a neater front. A rental building may need practical window choices that are easier to maintain.
Window Work Connected To The Exterior
A hung window touches more than the room. The exterior paint must meet the trim cleanly. The siding must sit tight near the frame. Gutters and roof edges can affect how rain and snowmelt reach the wall.
When those pieces are ignored, the window may look new while the surrounding area still feels worn. That can lead to repeat touch-ups and extra calls later.
New Town Exteriors & Painters brings window work into the larger property plan. The team can also help with exterior painting, siding, roofing, gutters, interior wall painting, and floor coating work when needed.

Why Choose New Town Exteriors & Painters
Choices Based On Usage
A bedroom, office, rental unit, and waiting room do not need the same window plan. New Town Exteriors & Painters looks at how each space works before guiding the replacement choice.
That helps property owners avoid buying windows that look fine but feel wrong in daily use.
Exterior Finish In The Review
Window replacement can disturb paint, trim, siding edges, and caulking. New Town Exteriors & Painters reviews those areas before work begins, so the finish does not become an afterthought.
This is especially helpful for older homes and commercial buildings with painted trim or aged siding.
Clear Help With Window Style Decisions
Single hung vs double hung windows can feel confusing when every option sounds similar. New Town Exteriors & Painters explains the practical difference in plain language. That helps homeowners and business owners choose based on cleaning, airflow, room access, and budget.
A Better Match For Minnesota Weather
Twin Cities windows deal with hard, cold, spring moisture, summer heat, and wind. New Town Exteriors & Painters considers how the window sits inside the wall and how the outside finish protects it.
That helps the replacement plan make sense for the property, not only the product label.

— New Town Exteriors & Painters, Est. 1987
Should I repair or replace my roof after storm damage?
Roof repair suits isolated shingle damage, small leaks, or minor flashing issues. Roof replacement is better when damage is widespread, the roof is old, or insurance covers storm damage over large areas.
Can ice dams damage roofing, gutters, and siding?
Yes. Ice dams can push water under shingles, loosen gutters, stain siding, and create interior leaks. Winter roof checks are especially important because ice, debris, and freeze-thaw movement can weaken several exterior areas at once.
When should Minnesota homeowners request a roof inspection?
Schedule an inspection after hail, heavy wind, ice dam leaks, missing shingles, or visible water stains. A professional inspection also helps before requesting a roof replacement quote or filing a storm damage insurance claim.
Does insurance cover storm damage to my roof or siding?
Usually, yes, if it was caused by hail, wind, or a storm event. We handle the full process from inspection, documentation, and working directly with your insurer from start to finish.
Do I need a contractor before calling insurance?
It helps to document the damage, open the claim properly, and have a qualified contractor inspect the roof, siding, gutters, and windows before the adjuster visits. This can help identify damage that may be missed during a rushed claim review.
What order should exterior renovation work follow?
Many exterior projects are best planned from the top down: roofing first, then windows, siding, paint, and gutters when needed. This helps prevent new materials from being damaged by later construction work.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Minnesota?
Most Minnesota homes run $10,000-$20,000 for asphalt shingles, depending on size, pitch, and materials. We provide a detailed, itemized quote after inspecting your home.
Are your crews in-house or subcontracted?
Nearly all trades are handled by our own in-house crews. One team, one standard of quality, one point of accountability across your entire project.
How do new windows help with energy bills?
Old windows are one of the biggest sources of heat loss in Minnesota homes. Replacement windows with insulated glass cut drafts, lower heating and cooling costs, and improve comfort year-round.
Why choose New Town Exteriors & Painters?
