Replace Every Window on One Wall

One side of the house is the problem, or one side is getting new siding, or one side faces the neighbor's floodlight.

To replace every window on one wall, JMB Builders measures the two to six openings on that side of the house and puts them on one order so they match. One wall is a normal job for us, often the side that takes the weather or is getting new siding. Priced per opening, mixed styles welcome. Twin Cities metro. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.

  • One wall is a normal job, priced per opening
  • Two to six windows on one order, one setup
  • Mixed styles on one order

A wall is a natural unit. The windows on it face the same way, took the same weather, and were probably installed the same year. When the west wall's sills are soft, usually every sill on that wall is soft. When one side is getting new siding, every window on that side should be dealt with before the siding goes on.

Doing one wall also keeps the setup to one place. The ladder, the drop cloths outside, the trailer and the cutoff saw are set up once, and the crew works down the wall window by window. Inside, the rooms along that wall are the only ones disturbed.

The windows on a wall are rarely all the same style. A picture window in the living room, a slider in the bath, casements in a bedroom, a small fixed unit in the stairwell. All of them go on one order in one frame color and glass. Mixed styles on one order is normal. At the measure we also look at the windows you keep on the other walls, so the new wall matches where it meets them at the corners.

Three photos and a sentence is enough: a reply within one business day, or ask for a free in-home estimate. Or text the photos to 763-250-3621.

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

  • One photo of each window on the wall from inside, labeled by room
  • A photo of the whole wall from outside, far enough back to see every window
  • A photo of a window you are keeping on another wall, for the match
  • Furniture pulled back from the windows on that wall 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 window on the wall priced per opening
  • One in-person measure of the wall and a match check against the windows you keep
  • All windows on the wall on one order through our supplier so they match
  • Removal, sill pan or flashing tape, shims, low-expansion foam and sealant at each opening
  • Interior stops or casing and exterior capping or trim as written on the quote
  • Coordination with the siding crew when that wall is being re-sided, so the flashing laps the right way
  • 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 windows are on the wall and the size of each
  • The mix of styles on the wall: picture window, casements, sliders, a stairwell unit
  • Insert into sound frames or full frame where the weather side is rotted
  • Siding, stucco or brick on that wall, and whether it is being replaced at the same time
  • Brand, series, frame material, glass package and grilles
  • Second-story windows on the wall that need a ladder set or roof brackets
  • Interior finish: trim kept, new stops, or new casing in each room along the wall

If the wall is getting new siding, tell us when. The windows should go in first so the new siding and flashing lap over them.

How long it takes

Lead time depends on the line and is written on the quote. Two to six windows on one wall: usually one working day, two if full frame or a second story is involved.

How your project works

  2. 2

    Pick materials, or bring your own

    We help you choose profiles and materials that fit the house and the budget, or match your existing millwork exactly — or you buy the door or trim yourself and we install it. Everything is confirmed before the crew is scheduled.

  3. 3

    Clean, precise installation

    The crew shows up on time, protects floors and furniture, and installs with tight joints and consistent reveals. Photos of the finished work go in your job folder.

  4. 4

    Walkthrough and invoice

    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

The weather wall

The west or north side where every sill is soft and every sash is drafty. Full frame where the rot reaches the framing, inserts where the frames are sound, decided window by window.

The wall getting new siding

Windows first, then siding. New windows with nailing fins and proper flashing go in, and the siding crew laps the housewrap and siding over them so the wall is sealed as one.

The wall facing the neighbor

Obscure glass on the bath and bedroom windows that look straight at the house next door, clear glass on the rest, all on one order in one color.

Replace Every Window on One Wall: questions, answered

Can I replace just the windows on one side of my house?

Yes. One wall is a normal job for JMB Builders, usually two to six windows on one order, each priced per opening. The windows you keep on the other walls are checked at the measure so the sides match at the corners. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.

Should the windows go in before or after new siding on that wall?

Before. A new window with a nailing fin is flashed to the sheathing, and then the housewrap and siding lap over it, so water running down the wall goes over the window, not behind it. If the siding is already on, the windows go in as inserts or with the siding cut back and trimmed.

Can the windows on one wall be different styles?

Yes. Mixed styles on one order is normal. A picture window, a slider, two casements and a stairwell unit on the same wall can all come from one line in the same frame color, glass and grille pattern, so the wall reads as one set.

Why are all the windows on one wall bad at the same time?

They face the same way and were installed the same year. The west wall takes the afternoon sun and the storms; the north wall takes the winter wind and no sun. Whatever that wall gets, every window on it gets, so they age together.

Will one new wall of windows match the rest of the house?

We check at the measure. The brand, frame color and grille pattern of the windows you keep are noted, and the new wall is ordered in the closest current line. Where the walls meet at a corner is where a mismatch would show, so that is what we look at first.

How long does one wall of windows take?

Two to six inserts on one wall usually take one working day, because the setup happens once and the crew works down the wall. Full-frame installs, a second story or a rotted sill can push it into a second day. Each opening is closed and sealed the same day.
