Read MoreNow is the time to get your patio door replaced with Universal Windows Direct.
Patio door replacement. Amazing when it happens, but not exactly something most people look forward to. It just doesn’t seem fun, right? It seems like all winter when the door is closed and there is 15 feet of snow piled up on the other side of it you can forget all about it. The door is just one with the house, keeping the snow out and perhaps making you wistful about warm spring days on the deck or hot summer afternoons by the pool.
Vinyl Patio Door
Not only that, but in the winter there are more fun things to spend your money on. Like gifts for the holidays, entertaining, and winter vacations. Or your windows. (There is nothing better than replacing a drafty window with an air tight window in the dead of winter). Hardly anyone replaces their patio door in the winter.
Spring is really the best time to replace your patio door. Winter is melting away, it is starting to warm up outside and summer is right around the corner. You start thinking about summer but it isn’t actually here yet, so you have time to get the door replaced. You haven’t opened that door for the first time to realize, with dread, that it didn’t magically get more awesome over the long winter. The door still sticks. You still have to fight with the screen door to get it to open. There is still that hole at the edge of the screen from when your neighbor tried to walk through it. The wood frame is still moldy. It might even be more moldy now, not that you look at it. And look at the top of the frame. Is it actually rotted through and sagging? Great. The entire door is basically an eyesore. And you still don’t like it.
Let’s replace it. Once and for all, let’s get it replaced for you. Sick of the mold? Our exclusive UniShield patio door comes in 100% pure virgin vinyl. It will not mold. Concerned about color? The doors come in white, tan, or dark brown vinyl. We even have three different wood grain interiors that are all maintenance free. Concerned you have an odd sized door? We offer standard and custom sizes! Looking for quality? With fusion welding on the frame and on the door you know it is a solid product. Add a foam filled frame for greater insulation value and a warm edge spacer to keep the entire door warmer. Have a pesky pet? Upgrade to a durable and longer lasting pet screen!
As always, enjoy factory direct pricing and the option to have us do the install, or pick it up and install it on your own.
Steve The Window Guy sells more than just windows in MN! So contact Steve the Window Guy to have him come to your home and give you a free quote. Or you can always call us at 612-866-2888.

What color options are available for my replacement windows?
Hiring a replacement window contractor can be tricky. Go with your gut. In my “former life” as an HR professional we had to always make decisions with facts. Facts. Facts. Facts. Hiring decisions were based on skills and work experiences.. We were literally told to ignore our gut. Guess what? When you are the homeowner and you are considering making an investment into your home GO WITH YOUR GUT!!
He seems friendly, right?
Like it or not, any home improvement project, from just a window replacement or door replacement or new vinyl siding to a full on room remodeling project means your home is exposed. Your life is disrupted (if only for a day) and your home undergoes change. You don’t want to trust that to just anyone. You certainly don’t want to trust it to just the “guy with the lowest price”. What DO you want?
The best product. The product that looks and feels like “your house”
The best warranty. You don’t want to buy the cheapest stuff and then go through this all again in a few years, do you?
The contractor with a good reputation. You checked him out, right? He isn’t the guy the BBB has listed with an “F” rating, or the guy with unresolved complaints against him in the double digits, right?
The contractor who is punctual, clean, put together, and well… likeable. If he is in your home to give you a quote and you ALREADY don’t like him (because he is rude, or talks down to you or talks over your head, or who you catch in a lie, etc) why would you invite him back?
The contractor who listens to you. It’s all any of us want, really. To be listened to. Ask questions.. Tell him your concerns. Give him a chance to answer everything and put any concerns you have to rest. Sometimes the sign of the best contractor isn’t the one who necessarily tells you what you want to hear, but the one who responds to you the most honestly
So next time you or someone you know is ready to talk to a window, siding, or door contractor they can trust, contact us. Experience what a non pushy, honest, and trustworthy home improvement contractor can be like!

Color options for replacement windows
Universal Windows Direct proudly offers 6 different interior window options for replacement windows in the Twin Cities. So if you are looking to replace your windows you can choose the colors that will be best for you in your home.
Are you someone who thinks that vinyl windows = white windows? You're not alone!
White vinyl windows can make a home look fresh and new. Some people love them. Most new construction, in fact, starts with white windows. But some homeowners fear white windows. They fear that. stark WHITE that screams out “HI! I AM A WHITE VINYL REPLACEMENT WINDOW!” That fear that the windows will “scream” actually is a reason some homeowners give as to why they don’t want to replace their windows. We get it.
Your replacement windows don’t have to be WHITE. The exclusive UniShield window offers white, tan, and dark chocolate brown as well as light oak, medium oak or cherry woodgrain interiors. Your window frames can be tan if that will soften it up. They can be dark chocolate brown (mmm, like a truffle) if that matches the style of your home. They can even come in wood grains to match existing wood windows, or the surrounding trim work, cabinetry or wood floors. Would a light honey oak match well? Would a medium oak color be better? How about a deeper cherry? Perhaps a vintage pecan is a better match... No problem! We offer all of those colors.
Do all your windows have to be the same color? Nope! So if you have thought about white replacement windows in the basement to brighten things up down there but you would prefer a wood grain window on the main level; we can do that. Because all of our windows are custom made for your home we can choose the style and options of window that will work best for you, in your budget, in your home.
Call us today to get started with a free consultation. We will bring a window into your home in the color you are thinking of, and bring color samples of other options as well. We can’t wait to work with you to replace those old windows and improve the look of your home. Join homeowners across the Twin Cities who have improved the look and the value of their home with replacement windows. 612-866-2888

Customer spotlight: Jerry and Linda.
We met Jerry and Linda at one of our outdoor events this summer. They are a couple living in a town home development. A town home development with windows in dire need of being replaced. After seeing a quick demo of our UniShield window they really liked the quality they saw and they wanted to get an estimate on replacing their windows. But…. Being in a town home they were worried about your windows conforming to the rules.
No problem.
We have worked with multiple town home communities throughout the Twin Cities to replace windows, patio doors and entry doors. We have met with town home boards to pitch our product and we have met with groups of homeowners to help them gain consensus.
What we have found is that the outside appearance of the windows is generally the determining factor in buying decisions. The town home community wants the look to remain consistent. I get it. If everyone has dark brown windows, the guy who replaces his with white stands out like a sore thumb. Similarly, if everyone has their white windows wrapped in white, but suddenly someone wraps theirs in dark green, the conformity of town home living is gone.
Our UniShield replacement windows and doors are 100% pure virgin vinyl with a smooth, streamlined exterior. Standard colors are white, tan and dark brown. Available upgrades include exterior paint colors including black, bronze and dark green, which tend to be very popular colors at town homes.
So what should you do first? Check with your town home association about the rules they have. You might get lucky and be in the same situation as Jerry and Linda. They learned that as long as they replaced their windows with WHITE 2 lite sliders, and then wrapped them in maintenance free smooth aluminum in a coordinating tan they could replace whatever they wanted. The appointment started with matching exterior wrap colors, and once we knew we could meet the requirements, we continued the discussion, and ended up replacing all of the windows in their town home. The neighbors liked how they looked so much, we ended up doing work for a few of them, too.
What is the moral of the story of Jerry and Linda? Don’t be afraid of calling us if you live in a town home. There may be a few extra hoops to jump through, but we are more than happy to do that. It is all in the name of new windows! Contact us today to get started!

Replace just a few windows at a time!
Aren't all windows factory direct?
We did it. We joined Pinterest. I couldn't resist. I love the idea of infusing our personalities, and our company culture into marketing windows, siding, and doors. I resisted for a long while because I couldn't fathom why anyone would visit a board full of pictures of windows. Furthermore, would anyone actually re-pin a window? Or siding? For heavens sakes no.
But - I recently read a great article about marketing small business with Pinterest and it made sense to me. We live in a city that is overflowing with home improvement companies. If you pay attention, you can literally see 10+ ads every single day from companies selling windows siding and doors. (I am working at the library today and one was sitting on the table next to me!)
So people matter. When you buy from Universal Windows Direct, Twin Cities you aren't buying from a big corporate giant or box store. You are buying from Melissa and Steve Brager. You are supporting small business in your community. And.... you are getting a superior, energy efficient product at a factory direct price. That is the beauty of it.
So who are Melissa and Steve? What are they all about? Do you share any interests with them? Maybe. We have lots of different ways you can find out. Subscribe to our blog for valuable information on our products and the buying process - as well as a behind the scenes look at our business. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to get up to the minute updates on what we're up to. See what articles we have found interesting and view pictures of jobs we have done recently.
Then check out Pinterest. We have boards that feature our product, yes. We also have boards that show:
Us out working at home improvement fairs
Pictures of our life as small business owners

I'm excited to grow our boards and keep on pinning. What kinds of things should we add? Would love to hear from you!

Tips for Visiting Companies at a Home Improvement Show
It seems the older we get the faster time moves. Gone are the days when we were kids and summer vacation stretched on from one endless day to another. These days summer is gone in the blink of an eye and just-like-that we are full on into the mania of fall. If you have school aged kids you have homework and school buses, activities and conferences. If you have teeny kids at home you have fun Halloween costumes and treat bags, fall portraits and Christmas planning to think about. If you own a replacement window company you are full on busy in fall home shows, completing installs from the summer, preparing for the slower months and thinking about planning for the coming year. No matter who you are or what you have…. Time is moving faster. The to-do list is getting longer. The pace of our beautiful glorious life is faster. The potential of us missing information is what keeps us glued to our phones, our computers and our television screens.
Well, not to worry. Here at Universal Windows Direct, MN we will do a regular wrap up of all our great content that you may have missed. Ready to get started?

Baby in the office!! Beware of one cute infant “doing paperwork”
That is all for now.. thanks for visiting!
Did you do it?
Yesterday when the severe weather sirens went off did you look at the sky? Or did you quickly try and remember what day and time it was? I did it. I heard the siren, I turned my head to the window, then back to the person I was talking to as I realized it was not 1:00 on a Wednesday. My very next thought was.. “It really IS spring!!”.
I don’t like severe weather. Tornadoes scare me.
I’m not one of those contractors that gets the glimmer in her eye when she sees a storm might roll in. You won’t find me devilishly rubbing my hands together in anticipation of serious damage in a neighborhood. I’m too soft hearted for that. I don’t want anyone’s home ripped apart or destroyed and I certainly don’t want anyone getting hurt or forced to move. It happened to me once and it was too stressful. I didn't like it one bit.
But I digress.
National Severe Weather Awareness week is an important right of passage into spring storm season. Cities check their sirens, school children practice their “duck and cover” and evacuation routes and families talk about what would happen if they were home when they heard the sirens or experienced bad weather. The best way to stay safe is to have a plan. Know where to go. Stock the freezer with popsicles so in the middle of the night when you hear the sirens and grab sleeping kids out of their beds to rush to the basement at least you can offer them an icy treat. Life is less scary with a Popsicle. (right, Mom?)
When the storm has passed and you realize your home has seen some damage you don’t need to dread the onslaught of hungry contractors knocking on your door every 5 minutes. Just call Universal Windows Direct. We’ll stop out and give you our factory direct price on replacing your windows, siding, front doors or sliding glass patio doors. We can price the job with or without installation. Take that price to your insurance company or to your contractor and call us when you’re ready. We know you’ll love our prices and our non pressure sales after a storm. We also know you’ll love the solid construction and energy efficiency of our UniShield Windows, the construction of our doors that repel moisture from getting in to your home, and the hail resistant properties of our insulated backed siding products.
Here is to a safe and storm free spring! (eat a Popsicle anyway!)

How Universal Windows Direct can repair your home after a storm
Curious, aren't you?
Here is the thing. I am behind on my blogging because I have been caught up in the excitement of planning our wedding!! We are celebrating with 200 people we love and are planning the whole big party in 5 weeks. Crazy, maybe, but fun.
As I get ready for my final dress fitting it comes to me. Choosing replacement windows and choosing a wedding dress actually have quite a bit in common.
Choose your perfect look. Are you thinking traditional, modern, or purely functional? Do you want to stick with white or something more interesting like a color? What options do you have to choose from?
Know your deadline and order in advance! Wedding dresses can take up to 6 months to come in but you can get your custom vinyl replacement windows installed in as little as 6 weeks. Family coming to town? Hosting for the holidays? No problem. Call today to get started!
Order the right size! Doesn't it make more sense to order the exact size you need so you don't have to force fit the product, or worse, pay for the labor of unnecessary alterations later? Our windows are all custom sizes for your convenience! Not only that, but with a custom fit they are guaranteed to reduce drafts and keep your family more comfortable in your home!
Think about how you want to complete your final look. With your dress you think about shoes, jewelry and veils. With your windows you consider trimwork, painting or staining, and new custom window treatments. It's really the same.
Show it off!! Once everything is decided and paid for and complete don't you want to show it to everyone you know? Take pictures!! Post them on Facebook!
See? Replacement windows and wedding dresses actually have more in common than you think! While we can't help you choose your wedding dress, we can certainly help you make a replacement window decision. Quotes are always free and we'd love to visit with you. Contact us today!
It's been a month, dear reader. Sadly we have allowed ourselves to get behind in our blogging but do not worry, we did not forget about you! We are back at it and ready to get caught up. Business has been good, our personal lives have been good, we've just been running like crazy.
We have successfully finished our summer show and event season. Gone are the days of hanging in the tent, hoping for good weather overnight, and searching out our next great meal from a food truck. I think that Taco Cielo from the Dakota County Fair was my favorite this year! Mmmmmm!!!
Our fall and spring home show season gets underway soon and we have all of our dates finalized. Sometimes I feel like we're a rock bank booking our next great tour. We always have free or discounted tickets for shows so definitely check our website or call us if you're interested in enjoying a home show and vising your favorite window company!
Speaking of home shows, we are moving forward with some awesome new displays for our larger products. They will debut in 2012!
New product options! Our UniShield siding has come out with new colors to provide you with even more options for customizing your home and creating the look you've dreamed of. Our UniShield fiberglass entry doors have just release new styles that include 3/4 glass on the front. A nice way to get the look on the front of your home "just right".
We are growing! We have brought on another installer and are currently looking to grow our sales department. If you know anyone looking to get some sales experience, send them our way.
All work and no play? No way!! We have a vacation scheduled in December and are looking forward to our annual sales meeting in January. Not only that, but with fall TV underway, we are glad to "see" all of our old friends. Hey, there is nothing wrong with some quality couch time, right?
Beyond all of that, we are happily selling high quality, energy efficient windows, siding, and doors at factory direct prices to homeowners all across the Twin Cities. To learn more about our products or to schedule a free, no obligation estimate, contact us today.
How many replacement windows and siding companies are at the Fair? If you are anything like me you're freaking out about the fact that its mid-August. County Fairs mean that summer is coming to a close. As much fun as we have looking at the animals, watching the demo derbies, eating the fried food and looking at all the cool stuff in the exhibitor buildings we can't deny that school is around the corner, and winter isn't far behind.
As a window girl the County Fairs mean that I basically leave home for a week. I pack fruit, healthy snacks and sandwiches so I am less tempted by all the Fair Food. (If you've ever met me, you know this doesn't work very well.) I bring a book for the hours where no one is around, and I look forward to meeting my neighbors. I also do my best to tell interested fair -goers about our awesome UniShield windows and doors and answer their questions the best I can.
After 5 days and 55 hours at the Fair, I have compiled this list of Top Questions asked at the Universal Windows Direct Booth at the Dakota County Fair.
Q: Is that a wood window? A: No, the UniShield window is a vinyl replacement window. We are excited to offer three different wood grain finishes that give you the look of wood to match your cabinets, floors or woodwork, but in a 100% maintenance free vinyl finish.
Q: Are these replacement windows or new construction? A: Both. The majority of the windows we sell are replacement windows, but we do also do also sell to remodelers and we can order any window you need with a nailing fin.
Q: What if I want to install the window myself? A: We do sell windows directly to individuals and contractors. However, installing windows isn't for amateurs. If you're not totally comfortable installing a window please allow us to install it for you.
Q: What is your warranty? A: Universal Windows Direct offers the double lifetime warranty on windows. This means that your new windows will be covered for as long as you are in your house, and 30 years to the next homeowner. This is a non-prorated warranty. We stand behind the quality of our windows!
Q: Do you make awning windows? A: Yes. We can build any style window you need. Double hungs, sliders, casements, awnings, hoppers, garden windows, bays and bows.
Q: Where are the cows? A: The did leave for a night for a barn cleaning, but no worries... the next afternoon we had a huge cow trailer parade and they were all returned, safe and sound.
The cows are back!
Q: My window is really weird size. Can you do custom sizes? A: Yes! All of our windows are custom ordered to fit your rough opening. So bring us your weirdest size window and we'll replace it.
To everyone who stopped by our booth at the fair, thank you. I appreciated the chance to tell you about our great windows. If it was a particularly slow time of the day, I appreciate the visit. If you have any additional questions, or are interested in a free quote, contact us today.
Balance
A mechanical device (normally spring-loaded) used in single- and double-hung windows as a means of counterbalancing the weight of the sash during opening and closing. UniShield windows come with a true balance system, and no weights for a cleaner look and for consistent performance.
An arrangement of three or more individual window units, attached so as to project from the building at various angles. In a three-unit bay, the center section is normally fixed, with the end panels operable as double-hung or casement windows.
A rounded bay window with 5 or more sashes – often all of them open.
Building Permit
A requirement in most cities to ensure the installation meets state building code requirements but also they always ALWAYS look to make sure your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms are installed and working. .
