Whole house window replacement in Coon Rapids is often a 1960s–80s rambler or split-level with three generations of windows: original single panes with storms, early aluminum sliders and 1990s vinyl retrofits. JMB Builders measures every opening in person, replaces the lot on one order so it finally matches, and installs room by room. Priced per opening on a line-item quote. We reply to photos within one business day, or come out for a free in-home estimate.
- Priced per opening, every one listed
- Mixed windows replaced on one order
- Each room closed up the same day
The typical Coon Rapids house is a rambler or split-level from the 1960s, 70s or 80s. By now most have been through a round or two of window work, done a room at a time. It is common to find original single-pane units behind aluminum storms on one side, early aluminum sliders in the bedrooms and 1990s vinyl retrofits in the kitchen, all in the same house.
That patchwork is why the measure matters. Earlier retrofits were set at whatever size fit at the time, so two windows that look the same from the street can be different sizes and different install methods. We measure each opening in person, look at the frame under it, and write every one on the quote with its size, style and whether it goes in as an insert or full frame.
Then everything goes on one order through ABC Supply, which has a branch in Coon Rapids. The new windows come in one frame color and one glass package, the storms come off for good, and the install goes room by room so no room is left open overnight. A patio door or front door can ride on the same order.

How it is priced: per opening
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- How many openings, and how many different sizes
- Openings from earlier retrofits that have to be squared or reframed
- Insert vs. full frame at each opening
- Brand, frame material and glass package
- Removing old storm windows and their frames
- Exterior trim or capping where storms or old trim come off
- Adding a patio door or entry door
Send a photo of each window inside and out, labeled by room. Include the storm windows, since they hide what is behind them.
How long it takes
A rambler or split-level is several working days once the windows arrive; full frame openings add time. Lead time depends on the brand and is written on the quote.

Situations and options
Single panes behind storms
The aluminum storms come off, the old sash and often the frame come out. Weight pockets or gaps are insulated, then the new unit is set and trimmed.
Early aluminum sliders
The aluminum frame usually comes out to the wood opening, which is checked for rot before the new window goes in.
1990s vinyl retrofits
Already one replacement in. We check how the last one was set and whether the frame under it is sound, then insert or go full frame.
Whole House Window Replacement in Coon Rapids, MN — End the Patchwork: questions, answered
My Coon Rapids house has three kinds of windows. Do I have to replace them all?
No, but replacing them together is the only way to get one frame color, one glass package and one look across the house. If some of the newer units are in good shape, we can leave them and match the color as closely as the brand allows. The line-item quote lets you see both ways.
Do the old storm windows come off when the windows are replaced?
Yes. The aluminum storm frames come off with the old windows and are hauled away. Where they leave holes or a weathered strip on the trim, the exterior gets new trim or capping, priced on the quote.
Why do you measure every window if several look the same size?
In older Coon Rapids houses, earlier retrofits were set at whatever size fit at the time. Two windows that look alike can differ by enough that one order would not fit both. We measure each in person before anything is ordered.
Can I add a patio door and front door to the window order?
Yes. A window and door package keeps frame colors and hardware finishes matched. Each door is its own line on the quote, so you can leave one off and do it later.
Will the house be open to the weather during the job?
No. We go room by room. Each room's windows come out and the new ones are set, foamed and sealed the same day, so nothing is left open overnight. Floors and furniture in that room are covered while we work.
Do I need a permit to replace all my windows in Coon Rapids?
A changed opening size, such as a basement window enlarged for egress, is more likely to need one. We check with the City of Coon Rapids building department and pull the permit when it is required.
