Window Replacement Contractor Software in Minnesota
A window job is never one window. It's eighteen openings, four sizes, two grid patterns, a bay that needs a site measure, and a homeowner who keeps asking about U-factor. ExteriorPro lets you build the estimate room by room, lock in the spec sheet the manufacturer needs, track lead times when the product's on backorder, and keep the install crew from showing up with the wrong brickmould. Everything tied to the project so the sales rep and the install lead aren't on different pages.
Minnesota window shops run tight margins and long lead times. ExteriorPro keeps the opening list tied to the order tied to the install date, so nothing shows up wrong on install day.
From $199/month per location. No credit card required to start.

Every county in Minnesota sits in the ENERGY STAR Northern climate zone, and the winters here are the reason window companies exist. The U-factor is what a homeowner asks about, triple-pane has a bigger share of the market than almost anywhere else in the country, and a lot of the sales conversation is about the heating bill in January. A window that qualifies in Missouri does not qualify here.
Window work does not stop for winter. Crews install year round, one opening at a time, and a good installer can swap a window in a heated house at ten below without letting the room go cold. That makes windows the trade that carries a lot of Minnesota exterior companies through the months when roofing and siding are shut down.
The housing stock runs from pre-war Minneapolis and St. Paul, with original wood windows and rope weights, through the ramblers built across the suburbs from the 1950s to the 1970s, to the newer subdivisions in Woodbury, Maple Grove, and Lakeville where builder-grade vinyl is starting to fog. The older houses need a careful measure. The newer ones need a good price and a fast turnaround.
A company that only replaces windows is doing one special skill and does not need the state Residential Building Contractor license, even with receipts over $15,000. A company that does windows and siding, or windows and roofing, is doing more than one and needs the license from the Department of Labor and Industry, with its 110-question exam and its payment into the Contractor Recovery Fund. Custom windows run four to eight weeks from order to delivery, and the install date on the contract has to allow for it.
