- Parts looked up by the window label
Andover's open lots give a storm a long run at a house. Hail and wind-driven debris tend to hit one or two sides hard and leave the rest alone, which is why we photograph windows by side of the house and label each one. On 1980s–90s vinyl windows, look for cracked glass, split sash corners, dents and chips on the sill, and torn or bent screens.
The bigger question on these houses is parts. Some original window lines are no longer made, so a matching sash or glass unit may not be available. When parts exist, a new glass unit or sash keeps the frame and trim in place. When they do not, or the frame is split, the window is replaced whole and set in a sill pan with flashing. If an exact match is no longer made, ask your adjuster in writing how your policy handles matching.
You file the claim and deal with your insurer. We provide photos and a line-item list, walk the windows with your adjuster if you want us there, and do the work once it is approved. Minnesota law bars a contractor from waiving, rebating or paying your deductible, and we do not. Coverage and deadlines are in your policy; ask your agent.

How it is priced: per window
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- Whether the original maker still makes glass or sashes for your windows
- Glass only vs. sash vs. whole window, window by window
- Two-story windows that need ladders or staging
- Siding around whole-window replacements
- Screens and grids, which add lines to the list
- Upgrades you choose beyond the approved scope, paid by you
Photograph the label on the jamb or between the panes of any damaged window. It tells us whether parts can be ordered.
How long it takes
Parts and windows are made to order. Once they are here, several glass or sash swaps fit in a day and a whole window is about half a day.

Storm Damaged Window Repair in Andover, MN: questions, answered
Why did hail only damage one side of my house?
Hail rides the wind, so it hits the sides facing the storm and skips the sheltered ones. On an open Andover lot those sides take the full force. That is why we photograph and label windows by side of the house, so the list matches what the adjuster sees.
What if my window manufacturer no longer makes replacement parts?
Then a damaged window is replaced as a whole unit, set in a sill pan with flashing. We look up parts by the label first, since glass or a sash is a smaller repair. If the new window cannot match the rest, ask your adjuster in writing how your policy handles matching.
Does JMB file the insurance claim for me?
No. You file and talk to your insurer. We give you photos and a line-item list, meet your adjuster if you want us there, and do the approved work.
Will you pay or waive my deductible?
No. Minnesota law bars a contractor from waiving, rebating or paying any part of your insurance deductible, and JMB Builders does not.
Can torn window screens go on a storm claim?
Screens that hail tore or bent are usually listed as their own line, separate from the glass. Photograph each one in place with the window it belongs to. Whether it is covered is up to your policy and your adjuster.
How soon after a storm should I deal with window damage?
Photograph the damage right away and cover any broken glass. Policies set their own reporting deadlines, so check your policy and ask your agent. We can photograph and list the windows as soon as you send photos or book a visit.
