Interior and exterior doors, entry doors, patio doors, window replacement, new openings and skylights.
Falis Construction handles door, window and skylight projects ranging from straightforward replacements to new or modified openings as part of a larger renovation.
Services may include interior and exterior doors, entry and patio doors, window replacement, trim and finish work, and weatherproofing around openings where applicable.
Replacing in an existing opening is contained work. Cutting a new one adds structure, permits, exterior repair and interior finishing — a substantially different scope.
Rot at sills and jambs is common where flashing has failed, and it is generally only visible once the old unit comes out. Worth anticipating rather than treating as a surprise.
The difference between a lasting installation and a callback. It is entirely invisible once trim is on, which is exactly why it is worth caring who does it.
Whole-house window replacement carries different logistics and pricing from one or two openings. Tell us the count on the estimate form.
Not necessarily, and it is worth diagnosing before spending. Condensation on the room side of the glass is usually about indoor humidity meeting cold glass — common in a Minnesota winter and often improved by managing humidity and ventilation. Moisture between the panes is different: that indicates a failed seal in the insulated unit, and that unit does need replacing.
Yes. It involves framing a header sized for the load, exterior flashing and siding repair, interior finishing, and usually a permit. It is very achievable and it is meaningfully more work than swapping a unit in place, so it is worth being clear which you are asking about when you request an estimate.
Not inherently, but they are unforgiving. A skylight is an opening in the roof plane in a climate with snow load and ice damming, so flashing detail and placement relative to valleys and roof geometry matter a great deal. Installed properly they are fine; installed casually they become the leak everyone remembers.
Either. Tell us on the estimate form whether materials are already selected or purchased. If you are choosing, it is worth a conversation about what suits the opening and the exposure before ordering, since some decisions are difficult to reverse once units are on site.
It usually helps, though rarely as dramatically as marketing suggests. In many older Twin Cities houses air leakage across the whole envelope — rim joists, attic penetrations, poorly sealed rough openings — costs more than the glazing does. Sealing and insulating alongside replacement gets a better result than replacement alone.
