Central Minnesota gets the same summer weather as the rest of the state: hail that cracks glass and pocks vinyl, and wind that drives branches, shingles and patio furniture into the side of a house. Windows on the storm side take most of it. Some damage is plain, like a shattered pane. Some is not, like a hairline split in a sash corner or a broken seal that fogs a month later.
St. Cloud's mix of houses changes what the repair looks like. Century-old homes near downtown may still have wood sashes or wood storm windows, which can often be reglazed. The mid-century and newer houses mostly have vinyl or clad units, where the fix is a new insulated glass unit, a new sash ordered by the label, or a whole window when the frame is split.
You file the claim and handle your insurer. We supply the photos and the line-item list, meet the adjuster if you want, and do the approved work. State law in Minnesota keeps a contractor from waiving, rebating or paying your deductible, and we follow it. Coverage, depreciation and deadlines vary: check your policy and ask your agent.

Storm Damaged Window Repair in St. Cloud, MN: questions, answered
How do I know if hail damaged my windows in St. Cloud?
Check the parts that face up: the sill, the bottom rail of the sash and the screen. Look for chips, dents, splits at the corners and torn screen mesh. Then open and lock each window. Photograph anything with a coin or tape beside it so the size shows.
Can you reglaze old wood windows after a storm?
Often, yes. If the wood sash is sound and only the glass broke, new glass is cut and set with new glazing compound or stops. If the sash itself is split or rotted, a new sash or window is the repair, and we list it that way for your adjuster.
Will you deal with my insurance company for me?
No. You file the claim and talk to your insurer. We provide photos and a line-item list, meet the adjuster if you want us there, and do the approved repair. Coverage and deadlines are in your policy, so check it and ask your agent.
Can you cover my insurance deductible?
No. Minnesota law does not allow a contractor to waive, rebate or pay any part of a homeowner's deductible, and JMB Builders never does. You pay it as your share of the approved repair.
My window fogged up weeks after a storm. Is that storm damage?
It can be. A hard hail strike can break the seal of an insulated glass unit without cracking it, and the fog shows up later. Photograph it, note when you first saw it and ask your insurer about adding it to the claim. Fog from old age before the storm is not storm damage.
Do you repair storm damaged windows in Sauk Rapids and Sartell?
Yes. We document and repair storm damaged windows in Sauk Rapids, Sartell and around St. Cloud from our base in Zimmerman. Photos sent to us get a reply within one business day; a free in-home estimate is the other way to start.
