Whole house window replacement in Eden Prairie is often the second time around: a late-1970s house whose 1990s replacement windows have fogged and shrunk the glass, or a 2000s two-story on its first set. JMB Builders measures every opening, tells you whether the last retrofit left a sound frame or a problem to undo, and replaces the house as one order. Priced per opening. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Priced per opening, each on its own line
- Old retrofits checked: keep the frame or go full-frame
- One order, installed on scheduled full-day trips
Eden Prairie built out in production phases from the late 1970s through the 2000s, so whole streets share the same windows and the same failure year. The earliest sections have already been through one round of replacement, usually 1990s vinyl inserts slipped inside the original frames and capped with aluminum outside. Those inserts are now fogged themselves, and they took a few inches of glass from every opening when they went in. The 2000s two-stories are at the start of the same cycle with their original builder units.
A second-round job starts with what the first one left behind. We pull the aluminum capping and look at the original frame underneath. Where it is dry and square, a new insert can go in, and this time we size it to give back as much glass as the frame allows. Where the capping has trapped water and the sill or jamb is soft, that opening is marked full-frame: the old frame comes out, the rough opening is flashed and a new-construction unit goes in with new trim. Mixing the two across one house is normal and each opening says which on the quote.
Walkout lots on the bluffs and around the lakes take real wind, so the weather side gets a close look. The whole house goes on one order so color, glass and grilles match, and dragging patio doors can join it. Eden Prairie is a scheduled full-day trip from Zimmerman, so install days are set in advance. Our job records show one install in Eden Prairie, Sep 2026. Painting is quoted as a separate line — or leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself.

How it is priced: per opening
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- Number of openings and how many are wide, mulled or walkout-wall units
- Insert in a sound original frame vs. full-frame where capping trapped water
- Vinyl vs. fiberglass vs. clad-wood, and the interior finish
- Glass package and dark or custom exterior colors
- Second-floor openings and the three-story back wall on a walkout
- Patio doors added to the same order, each its own line
- Interior trim and painting, quoted as a separate line
Send a photo of each side of the house and a close-up of one window from outside showing the aluminum capping. Tell us roughly when the last windows went in.
How long it takes
Most Eden Prairie houses: two to four install days on scheduled full-day trips, with full-frame openings taking longer than inserts. Lead time depends on the line and is written on the quote.

Whole House Window Replacement in Eden Prairie, MN: questions, answered
My Eden Prairie windows were already replaced once. Why are they failing again?
The 1990s retrofits were inserts with sealed glass units that have a service life, and the glass seals have reached it. Many were also capped with aluminum outside, which looks tidy but can trap water against the original frame. The window itself wearing out is normal; what we check is whether the frame behind it stayed dry.
Can I get the glass area back that the old inserts took?
Some of it. A new insert is sized as close to the original frame as the frame allows, and newer frames are often slimmer than 1990s vinyl. Going full-frame gives back all of it, because the new unit fills the rough opening the way the original did. The quote shows which you get on each opening.
What is wrong with aluminum capping on the old trim?
Nothing when it is sealed and sloped right. The problem is capping that was bent over a sill without a slope or sealed only at the face, so water runs behind it and sits on the wood for years. We pull a piece at the measure to see what is under it, and that is how an opening gets marked insert or full-frame.
Do I need a permit to replace all my windows in Eden Prairie?
The City of Eden Prairie building department sets that rule. Same-size replacement and changing an opening's size are usually treated differently, and lower-level bedroom windows can bring egress into it. We check for your address and pull a permit when one is required.
The walkout side of my house is three stories tall. Is that a problem?
No, it is planned for. The back wall on a bluff or lake walkout is reached from the deck and from ladders or staging on the lower level, and those openings are listed with the access on the quote. It adds time, not risk, and we have the equipment for it.
How do you handle a whole-house job about an hour from Zimmerman?
Eden Prairie runs as scheduled full-day trips. Measure and order first, then the crew arrives with every unit and the trim, and each trip's rooms are finished and sealed before we leave. The number of trips is on the quote.
