Priced per window.

- Independent installer, not a dealer
MI Windows and Doors is a vinyl window maker in Gratz, Pennsylvania, part of MITER Brands, and sells through MI dealers rather than home centers. Homeowners usually come to us with an order from a dealer or lumberyard and nobody to install it. The lineup has three series people bring us most: the Sunrise Series V4500 for replacement, the V3000 with the 1650 double-hung, and the V2000 for new construction.
The series tells us how the window goes in. The V4500 is built for replacement, as an insert in the old frame or a full-frame unit. Its double-hung has foam-filled frame chambers and both sashes tilt in. The V3000 1650 is MI's flagship replacement double-hung, with a fin version for new construction. The V2000 3500 single-hung is a new-construction window with a nailing fin, the common pick for additions, garages and rentals.
We are an independent installer and make no claims about the product beyond what MI publishes. The install is ours: the order checked before it is built, the old window out, the opening panned and flashed, the unit set plumb and square, foamed, sealed and trimmed.

Situations and options
Sunrise Series V4500
MI's replacement window with foam-filled frames on the double-hung and narrow profiles. Installed as an insert in a sound frame or full-frame where the frame is rotted.
V3000 and the 1650 double-hung
MI's flagship double-hung for replacement, with sliders and casements in the same series. Triple pane is offered on many styles, which adds weight to plan for.
V2000 new construction
The 3500 single-hung with a nailing fin, for additions, garages, rentals and full-frame jobs where the opening is framed to fit.
Mixed orders
A dealer order with a slider, a picture window and a few double-hungs is common. We check each line on the sheet against its opening.
MI Windows Installation, Labor Only — V4500, V3000 and V2000: questions, answered
Who installs MI windows in the Twin Cities?
JMB Builders installs MI windows homeowners have already ordered, labor only, across the Twin Cities metro. We are an independent licensed Minnesota contractor, not an MI dealer. We check the order, remove the old window, pan and flash the opening, set and foam the unit and trim it. Priced per window, with a reply within one business day.
How is an MI V4500 window installed?
As an insert, the old sashes and stops come out, the frame is checked and squared, the V4500 is set plumb, screwed through the jambs, foamed and capped outside. As a full-frame unit, the old window comes out to the framing, the opening gets a sill pan and flashing, and the inside gets jamb extensions and casing.
Where do I buy MI windows?
MI sells through MI dealers and lumberyards, not home centers. MI's dealer locator lists dealers near you. You buy from the dealer; we install.
Can you install an MI 1650 double-hung?
Yes. The 1650 is the V3000 Series replacement double-hung. It goes in as an insert in a sound frame, or full-frame with new flashing where the frame is rotted. We adjust each sash so it tilts, locks and seals.
Should I order MI inserts or full-frame windows?
If the old wood frame is square, dry and solid, an insert keeps the outside trim and is the faster install. If the frame is rotted or the window leaks, full-frame replaces everything to the framing. Send photos of each window to us before the dealer builds the order.
What trim do you put around a new MI window?
A full-frame vinyl window sits at the outside of the wall, so the inside needs jamb extensions to bring it flush with the drywall, then casing, stool and apron or drywall returns. New trim goes in primed and caulked. Painting is quoted as a separate line — or leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself.
