JMB Builders measures every opening and replaces the house as one set that keeps the mid-century lines or updates them, your call. Priced per opening. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Priced per opening, one set across the house
- Front picture window replaced with the rest
- Mid-century look kept or updated, your choice
St. Anthony Village was built almost all at once in the 1950s and 60s, so the ramblers and story-and-a-halfs on a block share a window package: a wide picture window in front, often with narrow flankers, horizontal sliders in the bedrooms and kitchen, and wood double-hungs with storms upstairs or in back. Many have a 1990s vinyl unit or two where something failed. Now the picture glass is fogged, the sliders have no thermal break, and the storms are the only thing keeping the frost off.
The question on a mid-century house is the look. Keeping it is easy: a new picture unit with slider or casement flankers, sliders where the sliders were, in white or a bronze or black frame that suits the brick. Updating it is easy too: double-hungs with grilles if you want a more traditional front. We measure every opening, lay out both ways on the quote, and the house goes on one order so the front, sides and back agree.
Every opening is its own line, inserts where the frames are sound and full-frame where a sill has gone, with storms coming down for good. St. Anthony is about 45 minutes from Zimmerman, scheduled as full-day trips. Our job records show 1 install in St. Anthony, Sep 2026. Painting is quoted as a separate line — or leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself.

Whole House Window Replacement in St. Anthony, MN: questions, answered
Can the new windows keep the mid-century look of my St. Anthony rambler?
Yes. A picture unit with slider or casement flankers, sliders in the bedrooms, no grilles, and a white, bronze or black frame reads the way the house was meant to. The sash profiles on a new window are a little thicker than 1950s glass, which is the only change you will see from the street.
Should I replace the front picture window or just the ones that fog?
If the picture glass is clear and the frame is sound, it can wait and the quote marks it. Most owners replace it with the rest, because the new sliders beside it will be a different white and a different frame depth, and the front of the house is where that shows. A new picture unit also gets low-E glass, which the original never had.
Can I switch the horizontal sliders to something else?
Yes. A casement in the same opening seals tighter and cranks open for venting; a double-hung gives a more traditional front. The quote shows each opening in the style you pick, and mixing is fine: sliders in back, casements in front, all in one line and color.
Do I keep the storm windows?
No. A new double-pane low-E window does what the storm was added for, and the storms, their frames and the hardware come off and go away with the old sash. The house looks cleaner from the street without them.
Do I need a permit to replace all my windows in St. Anthony?
The City of St. Anthony Village building department sets that rule, and it can differ for a same-size swap and a resized opening. We check for your address before the order and pull the permit when one is required.
How long does a whole-house window job take in St. Anthony?
Usually two install days for a rambler, scheduled as full-day trips from Zimmerman. The picture unit goes in first, the rest follow room by room, and each room is sealed before the crew leaves. Lead time on the order is written on the quote.
