To replace every bedroom window, JMB Builders measures each sleeping room, confirms the new window keeps the escape opening at the size the code calls for, and puts the three to five windows on one order so they match. Replacing just the bedroom windows is a normal job for us, priced per opening, with mixed styles on one order. Twin Cities metro. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Bedroom windows only is a normal job, priced per opening
- Each bedroom window kept at egress size
- All bedrooms on one order so they match
Most houses have three or four bedrooms, and they are the rooms people replace first. They are where you notice a draft at night, where frost shows up on the glass, and where a sash that will not open is a safety problem, not just an annoyance. Three to five bedroom windows is a natural order on its own.
A bedroom window is an escape route. When it is replaced, the clear opening has to stay big enough to climb through, and a replacement that drops into the old frame loses some of that opening to the new frame. At the measure we check every bedroom window against the egress size and tell you which ones can take an insert and which need a full-frame install or a different style to keep the opening.
The bedrooms do not all have to be the same style. A casement in the small bedroom where a double-hung would not meet egress, double-hungs in the others, and a slider in the master can go on one order in one color and glass. The windows in the rest of the house are checked at the measure so the bedrooms match them from the street.

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 bedrooms and the size of each window
- Style: double-hung, slider or casement, chosen partly by what keeps the egress opening
- Insert into sound frames or full frame where the egress check calls for it
- Brand, series, frame material, glass package and grilles
- Second-floor bedrooms that need a ladder set or roof brackets
- Interior finish: trim kept, new stops, or new casing and stool
- Rot found in a sill when the old window comes out
Tell us which rooms are used as bedrooms, including a basement or office that someone sleeps in. Those get the egress check too.
How long it takes
Lead time depends on the line and is written on the quote. Three to five bedroom inserts: usually one working day. Full-frame installs for egress add time.

Situations and options
Upstairs bedrooms together
The three or four sleeping rooms on the second floor, done in a day. The hall and bath windows can be added to the same order if they are failing too.
Bedrooms plus the kids' safety hardware
An opening control device on each window stops the sash a few inches open until it is released, and still lets the window open fully in an emergency. Added per window at the measure.
One bedroom changed to a casement
When a small bedroom window would not meet egress as a double-hung insert, a casement in the same opening often does, because the whole sash swings clear. Same color and glass as the others on the order.
Replace Every Bedroom Window (Egress Sizes Included): questions, answered
Can I replace just the bedroom windows and leave the rest of the house?
Yes. Replacing only the bedroom windows is a normal job for JMB Builders, usually three to five openings on one order. Each is priced per opening. We check the windows you keep at the measure so the bedrooms match them from the street. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
Does every replacement bedroom window have to be egress size?
A bedroom window that is the room's escape opening has to stay large enough to climb through after it is replaced. An insert shrinks the opening a little, so some windows pass and some do not. We measure each one and tell you which can take an insert and which need a full-frame install or a casement to keep the opening.
Can all the bedroom windows be done in one day?
Three to five bedroom inserts in sound frames usually take one working day, including trim. If one or two need a full-frame install to keep egress, plan on part of a second day. Each window is removed, set, sealed and trimmed before the next room, so every bedroom is closed by night.
Can the bedroom windows be different styles on one order?
Yes. Mixed styles on one order is normal. A casement in the small bedroom, double-hungs in the others and a slider in the master can all come from one line in the same frame color, glass and grille pattern, so they match each other and the rest of the house.
Will new bedroom windows be warmer at night?
Usually, yes. Most of the cold at a bed under a window is air leaking around an old sash and a single pane or a failed seal. A new double-pane low-E unit with a tight sash and foam around the frame cuts both. On a north bedroom a third pane is worth pricing as an option.
Does a basement bedroom window count?
If someone sleeps there, it is a bedroom and needs an escape opening of its own. A small hopper does not meet that. A basement bedroom window usually has to be enlarged to egress size with a well outside, which is its own line on the quote.
