- Priced per window
- Glass, sash, screen or whole unit
- You file the claim; we document and repair
Minnesota summer storms bring hail and straight-line wind, and windows take both. Hail cracks glass, chips vinyl sills and splits sash corners on the side facing the storm. Wind throws branches and lawn furniture through panes and can rack a frame so a window will not lock. On a Cambridge house that matters fast: colder winters here leave little room for a cracked insulated unit or a sash that no longer seals.
The older in-town houses add a wrinkle. Wood windows and old storm windows break differently from vinyl, and a damaged original sash may not have a direct match. The 1990s-and-newer homes usually have vinyl units with a label on the spacer or jamb, which lets us order a new sash or glass unit instead of a whole window.
You file the claim and talk to your insurer. We photograph each damaged window with a scale in the shot, write it up line by line, meet the adjuster if you want us there, and do the work once it is approved. By Minnesota law a contractor cannot waive, rebate or pay your deductible, and JMB does not. What your policy covers and its 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:
- Glass only vs. a new sash vs. a whole window
- Wood windows in older homes vs. vinyl units with parts still made
- Double or triple pane, low-E and tempered glass where code calls for it
- Siding, brick or stucco around a window that is replaced whole
- Second-story windows that need ladders or staging
- Upgrades you choose beyond like-for-like, paid on top of the approved scope
Send one wide photo of each damaged window, a close-up of the hit and a photo of any label you can find.
How long it takes
Glass units and sashes are made to order, so most of the wait is the order. Once parts are here, several glass or sash swaps fit in a day; a whole window takes about half a day.

Storm Damaged Window Repair in Cambridge, MN: questions, answered
What should I do first when a storm breaks a window in Cambridge?
Photograph it from inside and out before you tape or cover anything, with something in the shot for scale. Then keep water out with plastic over the opening and pick up the glass. Call your insurer to start the claim, and send us the photos so we can list the repair.
Can hail damage a window without breaking the glass?
Yes. Hail chips and splits vinyl sills and sash corners, dents aluminum cladding, and can break the seal on an insulated glass unit so it fogs months later. Look at the parts that face up and check whether each window still locks tight.
Will you run the insurance claim on my broken windows?
No. The claim is yours: you file it and do the talking with your insurance company. We give you photos and a line-item list of the damage, meet the adjuster if you want us there, and do the repair once it is approved.
Is it legal for a contractor to cover my deductible in Minnesota?
No. A Minnesota contractor may not waive, rebate or pay any part of a homeowner's deductible, and JMB Builders does not. Your deductible stays your share of the repair bill.
Can you match the old wood windows on my in-town Cambridge house?
Sometimes the glass can be replaced in the existing wood sash, which keeps the look. When a sash is too damaged, a new one or a replacement window in a matching style is ordered. When nothing matching is made anymore, get your adjuster's answer on matching in writing before the order goes in.
Do you repair storm damaged windows around Cambridge, like in Isanti or Wyoming?
Yes. We document and repair storm damaged windows in Isanti, Wyoming and the rest of the area around Cambridge from our base in Zimmerman. Coverage and claim deadlines depend on your policy, so check your policy and ask your agent.
