To replace 6 to 9 windows, JMB Builders measures every opening, puts them on one order so color, glass and grilles match, and installs them over about two working days, closing every opening the day it is opened. Six to nine windows is a normal job for us, roughly half a house. Priced per opening, mixed styles on one order. Twin Cities metro. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- 6 to 9 windows is a normal job, priced per opening
- One order, about two install days, house closed each night
- Mixed styles on one order
Six to nine windows is usually half a house. The whole upstairs, every window on the back and one side, the main floor of a rambler minus the picture window, or everything the previous owner did not get to. It is the point where the job stops being one visit and becomes a short schedule.
The order still goes in as one. Eight windows from one run match each other, and they arrive together. Different styles are fine on the same order: casements in the kitchen, double-hungs in the bedrooms, a slider in the bath. What stays the same across all of them is the frame color, the glass and the grille pattern.
Because the other half of the house stays, the match matters. At the measure we note the brand, frame color, grilles and interior finish of the windows you keep and pick the closest current line. Where the new half will differ, we say so before the order goes in, so the house does not end up with two kinds of white.

How it is priced: per opening
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- The mix of styles: sliders and double-hungs vs. casements, picture windows or a bay
- Insert into sound frames or full frame to the rough opening, decided window by window at the measure
- Brand, series, frame material, glass package and grilles
- How many are on a second story or over a roof and need a ladder set or brackets
- Siding, stucco or brick around the openings
- Interior finish: trim kept, new stops, or new casing and stool in each room
- Rot found in sills or framing when the old windows come out
Label each photo by room and number. The same labels go on the quote, the order and the install plan, so you know which rooms are done on which day.
How long it takes
Lead time depends on the line and is written on the quote. Six to nine inserts: about two working days. Full frame, a bay or rot repair adds time. Every opening is closed the day it is opened.

Situations and options
Whole upstairs or whole main floor
One level of the house finished at once. The bedrooms, bath and hall, or the living areas. The crew works room by room and the floor is done when we leave.
Two sides of the house
The back and the side that take the wind, inside and out. Good when the front windows were replaced earlier and the rest are original.
The other half later
If the remaining windows come next year, the brand, series, color, glass and grille pattern are on the quote and the rest of the house is already measured. The second order matches the first.
Replace 6 to 9 Windows: Half a House, One Order: questions, answered
How long does it take to replace 8 windows?
About two working days for inserts in sound frames, with a few windows going in each day. Full-frame installs, a bay, or a rotted sill add time. Every opening is removed, set, sealed and trimmed the same day, so the house is never open overnight.
Is it cheaper to replace 8 windows at once than two at a time?
Per window, usually yes. The trip, measure, delivery, permit and cleanup are spread across eight openings instead of two. The install work on each window is the same. This site does not publish dollar figures; each window is priced per opening on its own line and the lines add up.
Can I replace half the windows in my house and have them match the rest?
Usually close, and we check at the measure. The windows you keep are noted for brand, frame color, grille pattern and interior finish, and the new half is ordered in the closest current line. If the old line is gone we show you where the new ones will differ before you sign.
Can different window styles go on one order?
Yes. Mixed styles on one order is normal. Casements in the kitchen, double-hungs in the bedrooms and a slider in the bathroom can all come from one line in the same frame color, glass and grilles, so they read as one set even though they open differently.
Which rooms get done first on a two-day window job?
You pick, and we write it on the install plan. Most owners want the bedrooms first so they are settled by night, then the living areas. Each room is cleared, the window replaced and trimmed, and the room put back before the next one is started.
Do I need to be home for two days of window replacement?
Someone should let us in the first morning and walk through at the end. In between, many owners go to work. We close and lock the house at the end of each day and keep drop cloths down only in the rooms being worked on.
