To replace the kitchen windows together, JMB Builders measures the sink window, the one by the table and any in the eating area, and puts the two to four on one order so they match. Kitchen windows only is a normal job for us, priced per opening, with a casement and a slider on the same order. Twin Cities metro. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.

  • Kitchen windows only is a normal job, priced per opening
  • Two to four windows on one order, one visit
  • Casement at the sink, slider by the table, same order

The kitchen usually has two to four windows: the one over the sink, one or two in the eating area, and sometimes a small one by the back door. They get opened more than any others in the house, they take steam and grease, and the one behind the sink gets water on the sill every day. When one is done, the others are not far behind.

Doing them together finishes the room. One order means the frame color, glass and grilles match across the kitchen, and one visit means the counters are cleared once and the room is back together by dinner. The styles can differ. A casement over the sink that cranks open from a reach, a slider by the table, a fixed unit over the desk. Mixed styles on one order is normal.

The rest of the house is checked at the measure. The windows you keep in the living room and bedrooms are noted for brand, frame color, grille pattern and interior finish, and the kitchen windows are ordered in the closest current line so the back of the house reads as one set.

Photos (optional)

Up to 3: one wide shot of the area, one close-up of the opening or trim, one of anything you're unsure about.

How do you want your quote?

Free, no obligation. Every quote is written and itemized, so you can compare it line by line.

What you supply

  • A photo of each kitchen window from inside, with the counter or table in the shot
  • A photo from outside of the kitchen wall
  • A photo of a window you are keeping, for the match
  • Counters and the table cleared under each window the morning of the install
  • Paint or stain color for new trim: painting is quoted as a separate line, or leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself

What JMB supplies

  • A line-item quote, each kitchen window priced per opening
  • One in-person measure, including how the sink window meets the backsplash and counter
  • All kitchen windows on one order through our supplier so they match
  • Removal, sill pan or flashing tape, shims, low-expansion foam and sealant
  • A stool and apron at the sink that shed water, or a jamb set to meet tile
  • Interior casing and exterior capping or trim as written on the quote
  • Cleanup, haul-away of the old units and photos in your job folder

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 kitchen windows and the size of each
  • Style at each opening: casement over the sink, slider or double-hung by the table, fixed over a desk
  • Insert into sound frames or full frame where the sink sill is rotted
  • How the sink window meets the backsplash: tile cut back, a new stool, or a jamb set to the tile
  • Brand, series, frame material, glass package and grilles
  • Interior finish: trim kept, new stops, or new casing to match the cabinets
  • Hardware finish to match the kitchen's pulls and faucet

Show us the backsplash and the counter in the sink-window photo. That one window decides most of the trim work.

How long it takes

Lead time depends on the line and is written on the quote. Two to four kitchen windows: usually one working day, counters back in use by evening.

    We walk the finished work with you. If anything is not right, we fix it before we call the job done. Then one invoice, paid by check or direct deposit — no card fees, no payment links.

Situations and options

Casement at the sink, sliders at the table

The casement cranks open from behind the counter and the sliders open with a push. Same line, same frame color, same glass, so the room matches even though the windows work differently.

Garden or bump-out window at the sink

A garden window over the sink gives a shelf for herbs and more light, and the eating-area windows go on the same order in the same color.

Kitchen windows ahead of a remodel

If new cabinets or a backsplash are coming, the windows go in first and the jambs are set to the planned counter and tile heights, so the remodel finishes to them.

Replace the Kitchen Windows Together: questions, answered

Can I replace just the kitchen windows?

Yes. Two to four kitchen windows on one order is a normal job for JMB Builders, priced per opening and installed in one visit. The windows you keep elsewhere are checked at the measure so the kitchen matches them. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.

Can the kitchen windows be different styles on one order?

Yes. Mixed styles on one order is normal. A casement over the sink, a slider by the table and a fixed unit over the desk can all come from one line in the same frame color, glass and grilles. Each opening gets the window that works best where it sits.

Can the kitchen windows be done in one day?

Two to four kitchen inserts in sound frames usually take one working day, including the stool and apron at the sink. A rotted sink sill or a window set into a tile backsplash can take longer. Clear the counters and the table under each window and the kitchen is back in use by evening.

Will the sink window damage my tile backsplash?

Not if it is planned. An insert stays inside the old frame, so the tile is usually untouched and a new stool sits on top of it. A full-frame install reaches behind the tile and some cutting is needed; we tell you at the measure which one your sink window needs.

Should kitchen windows match the living room windows?

From outside, yes, because they are usually on the same back wall. We note the frame color, grille pattern and brand of the windows you keep at the measure and order the kitchen windows in the closest current line. Inside, the kitchen trim can match the cabinets instead of the living room casing.

Which window is best over a kitchen sink?

A casement, most of the time. It cranks open from a reach across the counter and seals tight when closed. A slider is the next choice where there is no room for a crank or the opening is wide and short. Both take obscure or clear glass and go on the same order as the rest of the kitchen.
