Whole house window replacement in New Hope is often the second time around: a 1950s–70s rambler or split-level whose first set of replacement windows from the 1980s or 90s has now fogged and failed, sometimes alongside a few originals. JMB Builders measures every opening, quotes each on its own line, and replaces the house with one set of low-E argon windows. 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
- First-round replacements and originals both replaced
- One matched low-E argon set, installed to last
New Hope built out in the 1950s–70s, and most of its ramblers and split-levels have already been through one round of window replacement. The 1980s and 90s units were a real improvement over the originals at the time, but the early insulated glass has lost its seal, the vinyl has yellowed and warped at the meeting rail, and the balances no longer hold the sash. A few houses still have a wood original or two that the first round skipped.
What is different this time is the glass, the install and the line. Low-E argon glass is standard now and holds its seal far longer than the early double-pane. The install matters as much: the first round was often an insert pushed into the old frame with no flashing and a bead of caulk, which is why the sills around them are soft. We check every opening, mark insert or full-frame, and flash and foam every unit. And we quote lines we have installed and would put in our own houses, not the cheapest in the book.
Every opening is measured in one visit, listed on its own line, and goes on one order in one frame color so the house finally matches. An egress window for a basement bedroom can go on the same order. Our job records show 1 install in New Hope, Apr 2026. Painting of new interior trim is quoted as a separate line, or leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself.

Whole House Window Replacement in New Hope, MN: questions, answered
Why did my 1990s replacement windows fail already?
Early insulated glass used seals that give out after twenty to thirty years, and the budget vinyl of the day warps at the meeting rail and lets the sash sag. Many were also set as inserts with caulk and no flashing, so water got behind them. Today's low-E argon glass and welded frames last longer, and a flashed, foamed install keeps the water out of the wall.
Will the new windows just fail again in twenty years?
Nothing lasts forever, but the glass seals, frame materials and install methods are a long way from the 1990s. The biggest difference we can control is the install: flashing, foam and a sill pan where the frame comes out. We quote lines we have installed and would put in our own houses.
Can you replace the few original windows the first round skipped at the same time?
Yes. Originals and first-round replacements go on the same order in the same line and color, so the house finally matches. Originals usually need full-frame work because the wood sill is gone; we mark that on the quote.
Do I need a permit to replace all my windows in New Hope?
The City of New Hope building department sets that rule. Same-size replacement and changing an opening's size are treated differently in most cities, and an egress window has its own requirements. We check for your address and pull a permit when one is required.
Can I add an egress window to the basement on the same order?
Yes. An egress window for a basement bedroom goes on the quote as its own line, with the excavation, well and framing listed, in the same line and color as the rest of the house.
