Drafts around a cracked pane, fog inside insulated glass, or an unfortunate baseball through the living-room window—no matter how the damage happens, timely glass replacement is crucial. For Minneapolis homeowners, extreme temperature shifts and constant freeze-thaw cycles add urgency. CountBricks combines expert field crews with AI-driven estimating to deliver fast, accurate, and affordable glass replacement in Minneapolis.
• Rapid heat loss in winter and A/C escape in summer inflates energy bills
• Moisture seeping into wall cavities can encourage mold growth
• Cracked panes weaken overall window integrity, risking larger failures
CountBricks.com/services integrates real-time material pricing, labor analytics, and on-site voice capture to generate an itemized estimate before our project manager leaves your driveway. That same data feeds your permit package and project schedule, so you move from “problem” to “solved” without delay.
• Double-pane insulated glass units (IGUs)

How long does replacement take?
Most single-pane swaps are completed in under two hours. Multi-window projects average one day.
Can I upgrade to Low-E glass during replacement?
Yes. Our estimate will show the energy-savings payback so you can decide if the upgrade makes sense.
Do you handle warranty claims on windows you didn’t install?
Absolutely. We document existing conditions and coordinate with manufacturers while keeping you informed through the CountBricks portal.

A 1920s bungalow in Minneapolis’ Linden Hills neighborhood suffered a shattered dining-room window after an icy tree branch snapped. Traditional wood mullions and irregular dimensions made off-the-shelf glass impossible. Here’s how CountBricks delivered a tailored solution within 48 hours.
• Scope: One 34" × 58" double-hung sash, insulated Low-E glass upgrade
• Challenge: Non-standard opening, sub-zero forecast within days
• Turnaround: Estimate to install in 46 hours
1. Our technician used voice dictation to capture dimensions, photos, and wood profile details. CountBricks AI produced a Good-Better-Best estimate before leaving the site.
2. Homeowners e-signed the mid-tier Low-E option, triggered immediate procurement through our integrated supply chain.
3. A custom IGU was fabricated locally overnight. Our crew installed it the next afternoon, using a flexible cold-weather sealant rated to –30 °F.
4. Project photos, warranty certificate, and energy-savings projection were uploaded to the client portal the same day.
• Heat-loss infrared scan showed a 22 % improvement compared with the remaining original windows.
