Our Story
Minnesota Rusco was founded over 70 years ago, inspired by the post-war homeownership boom and a deep commitment to craftsmanship and customer care. Recognizing the need for durable, energy-efficient storm windows and doors in Minnesota’s harsh climate, our founders set out to serve local homeowners with integrity and expertise.
That early focus on quality built our reputation, and over time, we’ve evolved with our customers:
- 1970s–80s: Added vinyl replacement windows, a key innovation
- 1990s: Expanded into siding and entry doors
- 2000s: Added bath remodeling and ushered in new leadership
- 2020: Introduced kitchen remodeling
- 2024–2025: Launched roofing and decking services
Like many small businesses, we’ve weathered economic challenges by building trust—one customer at a time. Our strength lies in how we treat people, both customers and coworkers.
The commitment to personal service, local roots, and treating customers like neighbors has remained constant—even as our product line has grown. Minnesota Rusco has maintained a hands-on approach with in-home consultations, local partnerships, and a family business ethos.
From a small window supplier to a trusted, full-service home renovation partner, Minnesota Rusco has grown into a brand recognized for longevity, dependability, and service. Community engagement, local sponsorships, and word-of-mouth referrals have made the name a familiar one across Minnesota households.
Here’s How We Do It
Every great result starts with a great plan. Our process is clear, collaborative, and designed to give you confidence at every step.
What We Stand For
Our values are more than words on a wall—they’re the foundation for how we treat customers, coworkers, and ourselves. These principles guide every project, every hire, and every decision we make.
Treat Everyone with Dignity and Respect
This is the cornerstone of our culture. We believe everyone deserves to be treated with the same dignity afforded to the most privileged among us—regardless of title, role, or background. Respect isn’t earned through performance; it’s owed by default. It’s one of the few things in life that can be given freely, without limit, and it only multiplies when shared. We operate from this baseline in everything we do.
Do What’s Right, Not What’s Convenient
“The easy thing and the right thing are rarely the same.” Doing the right thing often means embracing discomfort, choosing honesty over shortcuts, and taking the harder road when no one is watching. But that’s where real trust is built—with customers, with coworkers, and within ourselves. We believe growth happens outside your comfort zone—and we’re committed to doing the right thing, even when it’s not the easy thing.
Put People First
Our people—customers, employees, and community members—are our greatest asset. We make decisions that reflect that, from the way we build relationships to the way we build careers. We use tools like the Predictive Index to help ensure our team members are in the right roles and growing in the right ways. We offer leadership training, development opportunities, and a workplace culture built on care—not just performance. When we take care of people, the rest follows.
