Storm damaged window repair in Anoka MN starts with every hit window photographed with a scale reference and written up line by line. Then JMB Builders fixes what the approved scope covers: a new glass unit, a sash, an exterior storm window, or the whole window. You file the claim and talk to your insurer; we document, meet the adjuster if you want, and repair. Priced per window.

Minnesota storms bring hail, straight-line wind and flying limbs, and windows take all three. In Anoka the damage looks different depending on the house. An early-1900s home with original wood windows often has exterior storm windows over them, and the storm glass takes the hit first. A postwar or 1970s–80s house with aluminum or early-vinyl windows shows cracked panes, split sash corners and dented frames.
Each window gets its own call. A cracked exterior storm window over a sound prime window is replaced on its own. A cracked insulated pane in a sound vinyl frame gets a new glass unit made to size. A split frame, or a window whose maker no longer supplies parts, is replaced whole, with a sill pan and flashing done right on the way in. We tell you which from the photos.
You file the claim and deal with your insurer. We give you dated photos and a line-item list, meet your adjuster to walk the windows if you want us there, and do the work once the scope is approved. Minnesota law bars a contractor from waiving, rebating or paying your deductible, and we do not. For coverage and deadlines, check your policy and 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:
- Storm window, glass unit, sash or whole window, decided window by window
- Original wood windows vs. aluminum or early vinyl, and whether parts are still made
- Matching older stained interior trim if casing has to be replaced
- Second-story windows that need ladders or staging
- Siding around a whole-window replacement and how it is patched
- Upgrades beyond like-for-like, which you pay on top of the approved scope
Send a photo of each damaged window, a close-up of the hit with a coin or tape beside it, and any label you can find.
How long it takes
Glass, sashes and windows are made to order, so the wait is mostly the order. Once parts arrive, several glass or storm-window swaps fit in a day; a whole window is about half a day.

Situations and options
Exterior storm window only
The outer storm window took the hit and the window behind it is sound. The storm window is replaced to size and the prime window is left alone.
New glass unit
A cracked or seal-failed insulated pane in a sound frame and sash. A new unit is made to the old one's size and coating and set in the existing sash.
Whole window
Split frame, crushed sash or no parts available. The old unit comes out, the opening is checked for water damage, and the new window is set in a pan with flashing and trimmed.
Storm Damaged Window Repair in Anoka, MN: questions, answered
What should I do first after a storm breaks windows at my house?
Photograph every damaged window before anything is swept up or covered, with something in the shot for scale. Then close any open glass with plywood outside or heavy plastic taped inside, and keep receipts for materials. Start the claim with your insurer or agent; how coverage and deadlines work is in your policy.
Can you replace hail-damaged storm windows on an older Anoka house?
Yes. When the exterior storm window took the hit and the window behind it is sound, the storm window is replaced on its own, sized to the opening. It goes on the damage list as its own line so it is not lumped in with the prime window.
Do you handle my insurance claim for me?
No. You file the claim and deal with your insurer. We provide the photos and a line-item list, explain the damage to your adjuster if you want us at the inspection, and do the approved work.
Can a contractor pay my deductible on a window claim?
No. Minnesota law bars a contractor from waiving, rebating or paying any part of your deductible, and JMB Builders does not. The deductible is your share of the repair and is paid as part of the job.
Does hail damage always crack the glass?
Not always. A hard hit can dent a vinyl or aluminum sill, split a sash corner or break the seal on an insulated pane without cracking it, and the fog shows up later. Check the parts that face up and the sash corners, and photograph what you find.
Do you repair storm-damaged windows outside Anoka?
Yes. We are based in Zimmerman and repair storm-damaged windows across the north metro, including Ramsey, Coon Rapids and Andover. Send photos and we reply within one business day.
