For front windows and front door curb appeal, JMB Builders replaces the street-facing windows and the entry door as one package: one measure, one order so the frame and door colors work together, the grille pattern and exterior trim made consistent across the front. Twin Cities metro and north to St. Cloud. Priced per project with each window and the door on its own line. Photos get a reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Front windows and entry door in one order
- Door color and window color picked together
- Priced per project, each opening on its own line
The street side is a handful of openings: a picture or living room window, a couple of bedroom windows, maybe a bay, and the front door. Replace the door alone and the new color makes the old windows look tired. Replace the windows alone and the old door stands out. Done together, the four or five things people see from the street are chosen as a set.
Choosing them together is the point. The window frame color comes first, since it is on every opening. The door color is picked against it: matching, or an accent that works with it. The grille pattern is the same on every front window, or left off all of them. The door glass is picked to go with the window glass. And the trim around every front opening is one profile and one color, so the front reads as one design instead of parts bought years apart.
This page is the package. The windows-first plan and the entry makeover with sidelights and pilasters each have their own page. Here the front windows and the door are measured at one visit, ordered in one order, and installed over a few days with the house closed and locked every night.

- Door alone vs. a door with sidelights; glass in the door
- Insert vs. full-frame on each window
- Exterior trim: new trim boards vs. aluminum capping
- Siding, brick or stone on the front
- Window line, door material, color and grille pattern
Send the street photo first. The quote lists every front window and the door so you can drop one or add the sides later.
How long it takes
Lead time depends on the brand and is written on the quote. On site, most fronts with four to six windows and a door take two to four days; the door gets its own day.

Situations and options
Matched color
Door and window frames in the same color, for a quiet, even front. Common with white or tan siding and a door with a lot of glass.
Accent door
Window frames in one color and the door in a stronger one that works with it. The trim stays with the windows so the door is the one thing that stands out.
Front now, the rest later
Only the front windows and the door now, with the rest of the house measured at the same visit and the colors written down so the sides and back match later.
Front Windows and Front Door Curb Appeal — One Matched Package: questions, answered
Should I update the front windows and door at the same time?
If both are old, it makes the biggest change from the street for one project. The colors, glass and trim are chosen together, the order comes in at once, and the front looks finished when we leave. If one of them is new, we match the other to it as closely as the brand allows.
Can a new front door match the color of new windows?
Many door lines come in factory colors that sit close to the common window frame colors, and a door can also be painted to match. An exact match across two different products is not always possible, which is why some people choose an accent door on purpose. We show you the samples side by side before ordering.
Which front windows count for curb appeal?
Every window you can see from the street, usually the living room window, the bedroom windows on the front, and any bay or window over the garage. Windows on the sides that show from the sidewalk count too on a corner lot. We list each one on the quote so you decide where the line is.
Do the front window grilles need to match the door glass?
They do not have to match exactly, but they should agree. A front with grilles in the windows looks right with a door that has divided glass or no glass. Windows with no grilles go with a door with plain glass or a simple lite. We lay out the choices together so the front reads as one set.
How long does it take to replace the front windows and front door?
Most fronts are two to four days on site once the order arrives. The windows go in a room at a time, closed each day, and the door gets its own day so the house is locked with the new door that night. Lead time depends on the brand and is written on the quote.
What about the storm door when the front door is replaced?
Decide before ordering. A full-view storm door shows off the new door, an older storm door can be removed and the holes filled, or the old one can go back on if it fits. We can install a new storm door the same day as the entry door.
