- Priced per unit, by elevation
- Sound-reducing glass as an option
- Fridley rules checked before we bid
Fridley sits along the Mississippi with rail lines and busy highways running through it, and tenants on the loud side of a building notice. Standard double-pane glass helps a little; laminated glass or a mixed-thickness glass package helps more. We price sound-reducing glass as an alternate by elevation, so you can put it on the side facing the tracks or the highway and keep standard glass on the quiet side, all in one order with the same frame and color.
Fridley requires an annual rental property license and runs its own rental inspection program, with one follow-up inspection allowed and extra reinspections charged. The city also publishes a rental self-inspection checklist. Windows that will not open, will not lock or have broken glass are the kind of thing to fix before the inspector comes, not after.
Before we bid, we check with Fridley which contractor license and permit apply to your building; a building of five or more units falls under the commercial building code. Then we measure every opening in every unit, write one spec, and install one unit at a time, each opening closed the same day.

Laminated or mixed-thickness glass on the elevation facing rail or highway, standard Low-E glass elsewhere, same frames throughout.
Before the rental inspection

Windows and patio doors
Patio doors on the same order as the windows, so the glass and color match. Each door is its own line.
Apartment Window Replacement in Fridley, MN — Rental Buildings: questions, answered
Do you replace windows in Fridley apartment buildings?
Yes. JMB Builders replaces windows, patio doors and unit doors in Fridley apartment buildings, including buildings of five or more units. Before we bid, we check the city's contractor licensing and permit rules for that building.
What windows reduce train and highway noise in an apartment?
Laminated glass and insulated glass with two different pane thicknesses cut more noise than standard double pane. A tight install with the gaps sealed matters as much as the glass. We price sound-reducing glass as an option on the elevations that need it.
Can I put sound-reducing glass on only one side of the building?
Yes. The bid is written by elevation, so sound glass can go on the side facing the noise and standard glass on the others. Frames, color and hardware stay the same so the building looks uniform.
Does Fridley inspect rental apartment buildings?
Yes. Fridley requires an annual rental property license and inspects licensed rentals, with one follow-up allowed and a fee for more. Check current rules with the city. We price window items from an inspection as their own lines.
Do residents have to leave during the window work?
No. We work one unit at a time and close each opening the same day. You send the entry notice and we give you the schedule by unit.
How is apartment window replacement in Fridley priced?
Per unit, with every opening listed: style, size, glass and install method. Sound glass, patio doors and painting are separate lines. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
