Window and Door Services in Harris County, TX

• Older inner-loop homes often have original wood windows with character worth respecting. We help you choose replacement styles and grid patterns that keep the look of the house intact.
• Ranch homes from the 1950s through the 1980s frequently still have aluminum windows that conduct heat and sweat in winter. Insulated vinyl replacements make a dramatic difference here.
• Suburban two-stories in Katy, Cypress, Spring, Tomball and Humble may have builder-grade windows with failing seals, foggy glass and worn balances after twenty or so years.
• Homes on the east side near Galveston Bay, including Pasadena, Baytown and Deer Park, face more storm exposure and are good candidates for impact glass.

Telling us how you use each room, and what bothers you about the current windows, helps us recommend the right mix.

We focus on a handful of proven products rather than a confusing catalog:

• Pella 250 Series vinyl windows: strong, attractive and available in many styles
• Energy Master Series windows: Low-E glass, argon fill and multi-chambered frames for efficiency in Houston's long cooling season
• PerfeXion and 1800 Series impact windows: laminated glass designed to resist windborne debris during hurricanes and severe storms

Many homeowners combine lines, for example impact windows on the most exposed walls and energy-focused units elsewhere. Our energy-efficient windows page explains the glass and frame features in more depth.

Your front door gets used every day and faces the full force of Houston weather. Warped slabs, failing weatherstripping and rotted jambs let in air, water and insects. We replace entry doors with new units in a variety of styles, and we replace sliding and hinged patio doors that have stopped gliding smoothly or leak at the track. Every door goes in with a properly sloped sill, flashing and fresh weatherstripping. For design ideas, browse our custom door installation options.

A window or door is only as good as the way it is installed, and Houston's humidity and heavy rain expose shortcuts quickly. Here is what to expect from our crews:

• Careful removal of the old unit to protect surrounding brick, siding and drywall
• Inspection of the opening for rot, termite damage or old leaks, with repairs before anything new goes in
• Setting the new unit level, plumb and square, and anchoring it to manufacturer instructions
• Insulating the gap around the frame and integrating flashing with the wall
• Exterior sealing, interior trim, cleanup and a walk-through to test every sash and lock

Skipping any of these steps is how new windows end up drafty or leaking within a few years.

Most window and door projects begin with an in-home consultation. We measure every opening, talk through styles, colors and hardware, and review any HOA rules that apply to your neighborhood. Because windows are built to your measurements, there is a lead time between ordering and installation. Once the units arrive, installation itself usually moves quickly, and we work room by room so your home is never left open to the weather overnight.

If you are planning other exterior work, such as new siding or a roof, tell us early. Replacing windows before new siding lets the flashing be integrated properly, which is one of the best ways to prevent future leaks.

Hail and hurricane winds can crack glass, bend frames and damage door hardware. If that happens, cover the opening if you can do so safely, take photos, and call us. We can secure the opening, document the damage for your insurer, and replace the units. Our insurance claim assistance includes a detailed scope of work and, if you wish, meeting your adjuster. Coverage decisions rest with your insurance company.
