AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Crosby
Window replacement in Crosby, TX runs $450-$1,200 per window for insert replacements and $800-$2,400 per opening for full-frame work, depending on whether you’re swapping out Harvey-era builder units or pulling original aluminum frames from a 1980s ranch on FM 2100. Most Crosby jobs take one to two days once materials land, and we schedule around your workday, not ours. If you’re in the 77532 and noticing fog between panes, sashes that bind in July, or deadbolts that stopped lining up, call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll put a real person on the line who knows this side of the San Jacinto. We’ve been working Crosby long enough to know which houses got patched after Harvey and which ones got done right.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Crosby’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Crosby homeowners call us because we don’t treat a window like a boxed unit that drops into any rough opening. We treat it like part of the whole wall. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that hangs in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means we measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Nobody in Crosby should have to argue about a warranty six years after the install.
Our crews know the neighborhoods here. We’ve worked Newport, Dyersdale, and the acreage east of Cedar Bayou, and we understand what the Ship Channel humidity does to aluminum frames and cheap seals. We show up when we say, in uniform, background-checked, and we don’t leave a mess in your flower bed. Most jobs are done in a single visit, and the price on the quote is the price on the bill. No change orders, no surprise line items.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If the install isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print. And every call to TruePane gets a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form.
Our Window Replacement Services in Crosby
Full Frame Replacement
When the frame rots or the rough opening sags, an insert won’t fix it. Full frame replacement in Crosby means pulling the old window down to the studs, rebuilding the rough opening square, and flashing the perimeter correctly with butyl tape and sloped sill pans. This is the right call for Harvey-era rebuilds where water wicked into the jambs, or 1970s ranch houses with aluminum frames that oxidized where the Ship Channel air meets the wood.
For Crosby homes, we specify marine-grade flashing and stainless fasteners as the standard. It costs a little more up front. It costs a lot less than redoing the opening in eight years because the cheap hardware rusted through and the sill rotted again.
Insert Window Replacement
If your existing frames are still square and solid, insert replacement windows in Crosby drop into the old openings without disturbing trim or siding. This is a faster install and typically runs $450-$900 per window in the 77532 market, though the final number depends on glazing, brand, and whether the old frame needs any re-square work before we set the insert. We quote the whole line on paper, side by side, so you see exactly what you’re buying.
One caution from years of working Crosby houses: a lot of post-Harvey inserts went into frames that looked fine from the outside but had hidden slab lift or jamb racking. If yours was installed 2017-2018, we’ll check the reveal and the corners before you spend money on another unit.
Storm Window Replacement
Crosby sits in the path of hurricane wind loads funneled up Galveston Bay and along the San Jacinto and Trinity river corridors. Storm-rated glazing isn’t an upgrade here; it’s the practical spec. We install impact-rated windows from PGT and CGI that meet Miami-Dade and Texas wind-load requirements, with laminated glass that won’t blow out and leave your living room open to the storm.
The price gap between a basic insulated unit and a hurricane-rated one in Crosby is real, usually $300-$600 more per opening. But that gap buys you glass that holds together when a limb hits it, and frames that don’t deflect under 130 mph gusts. Given what this town saw in 2017, we think that’s a square deal.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Crosby summers load your AC for six straight months. Single-pane aluminum frames from the 1970s and 1980s do almost nothing to stop that. Replacing them with low-E, argon-filled double or triple panes cuts solar heat gain and seals the envelope, which shows up in your utility bill from July through September. For homes near the Ship Channel corridor, we also recommend the marine finish on frame hardware; the humidity here eats standard coatings within a few years.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Crosby Homes
- Harvey-era rebuilds failing early. Builder-grade double-pane units installed between 2017 and 2018 are showing fog, seal failure, and oxidation after only 6-8 years. The humidity in the San Jacinto floodplain means cheap seals don’t last.
- Aluminum frame corrosion on 1970s-1990s ranch houses. Near the Ship Channel corridor, aluminum pits and oxidizes quickly. Sashes bind, double-hungs won’t close square, and air gaps open at the corners.
- Post-flood threshold gaps causing hidden jamb rot. Door thresholds shimmed rather than replaced after Harvey leave slab-edge gaps that pull humid air into the jamb. Homeowners notice a draft or a deadbolt that sticks, but underneath it’s moisture wicking through the frame.
- Original single-pane windows on manufactured homes. Crosby has a high density of manufactured and mobile homes, many still running original aluminum single-pane windows. These let in heat, leak air, and corrode at the weep holes. Upgrading to a properly measured replacement makes a bigger difference here than homeowners expect.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Crosby
Humidity. The San Jacinto floodplain holds moisture year-round, and the Ship Channel corridor pushes salt-laden air across the 77532. Builder-grade seals and frame hardware that survive a decade in Dallas give out here in six to eight years. We see the result every week: fogged panes, oxidized sash corners, and frames that have shifted because the slab lifted during the flood and was never re-squared. Call (888) 635-0804 if your Harvey-era windows are showing fog; we’ll tell you honestly whether they need replacement or whether the opening itself needs work.
If the fog is between the panes, it’s seal failure. Moisture has gotten inside the insulated glass unit and the argon has leaked out. In Crosby, this happens early on builder-grade units, and no amount of wiping will fix it. If the fog is on the room side of the glass, that’s a humidity issue inside the house. But in both cases, it’s worth a free inspection. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll diagnose it before you spend a dime.
Yes, when the existing frame is still square and solid. Insert replacement windows drop into the old openings, which preserves the trim and siding and cuts the install down to a day or less. If the frame has corroded or the rough opening shifted from slab lift, we’ll recommend full-frame replacement instead. No hard sell either way. We’ll show you the condition of the wood and let you make the call. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate and we’ll measure every opening on site.
A basic insulated replacement runs $450-$900 per window. A hurricane-rated impact unit from PGT or CGI runs $1,100-$2,600 per opening. The difference is in the laminated glass and the reinforced frame, which are rated for wind loads this corridor sees during hurricane season. If a limb hits the window or the pressure spikes, the glass cracks but holds. That’s worth the premium in Crosby. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll quote both specs side by side in writing.
Usually it’s the slab. After Harvey, a lot of Crosby door thresholds were shimmed and reset rather than replaced. The slab edge lifted slightly, the threshold doesn’t sit flat, and that gap pulls humid air into the jamb. The deadbolt misaligns because the frame has shifted. We fix it by re-squaring the door frame and resetting the threshold against the slab, not by adding more caulk. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll take a look.
