I just contacted a Minnesota window company to come out and give me an estimate of what is going to cost to replace the four windows that were damaged when a tree fell through them. I was sleeping when high winds blew over a small tree in our front yard but it ended up going through the four windows in the front of the house.

We were woken when we heard the glass breaking and we ran downstairs. I could not believe my eyes and my husband was just thankful that it was not one of the bigger trees that are in the yard. In addition to having a Minnesota window company come out, we also need to have a siding company come and tell us how much it is going to cost to repair or replace all of the siding that was smashed, scratched or torn off of the house. We know that our insurance company will cover all of it, but we just want to make sure that we are able to pick the siding company that does the work so that we are comfortable with them and trust that they will do a good job.

When we have both the window and siding estimates, I will be going to the insurance company to drop them off and then to the furniture store to replace the lamps and table that were also ruined when the tree came crashing in.
