Custom Windows & Doors in Austin - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Austin

Custom window and door work in Austin typically runs $850-$4,600 per opening depending on size, glass package, and frame material, and most replacement projects we quote are installed within two to four weeks of permit approval. If you’re in Travis Heights, Hyde Park, Allandale, or anywhere along the I-35 corridor, we’re the local crew that shows up with a 4-foot level and checks the rough opening before we ever talk glass. Our Austin office coordinates dispatch and scheduling for every job, so when you call (888) 635-0804, you get a live person who knows the difference between a 78704 pier-and-beam bungalow and a 78702 slab-on-grade spec home. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that in Austin, the window is rarely the whole problem. The clay is always part of the conversation.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Austin’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company

TruePane Windows & Doors is led by Dale Kessler, a second-generation glazier who founded this company on a rule he keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s not marketing. That’s the standard every one of our background-checked, uniformed technicians carries into every Austin home, from Crestview to Mueller to Circle C. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. The Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing about who’s responsible. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every job we do in Austin.

Our reputation in Austin is built on showing up when we say we will and doing the work so it holds through one of the most thermally violent climates in the continental US. Homeowners who’ve lived in their Austin house for twenty or thirty years tend to remember the contractor who left them with a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. We don’t want to be that story. We want to be the company you call in 2045 because we’re still answering the phone.

Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Austin

When standard sizes won’t work, that’s when our Custom Windows & Doors team does what we’re built for. Austin’s older housing stock – 1930s through 1960s bungalows, craftsman cottages, and the occasional mid-century rancher – rarely presents a square, true rough opening. We build and order glass to the actual opening, not to what the blueprint says it should be.

Custom Shape Windows

Arches, circles, eyebrow transoms, angled bays, and geometric combos that make a standard window salesman blink. In Austin, custom shape windows show up most often on historic homes in Hyde Park and Old West Austin, where the opening was built by hand with a specific curve or angle that doesn’t match any off-the-shelf unit. We template the opening, order the glass to fit, and install with the same true-level standard we apply to a rectangular sash. A custom-shaped window that’s set out of true will bind on the first thermal cycle. We don’t let that happen.

Commercial Storefront Glazing

For Austin storefronts along Burnet Road, South Congress, and the east side, we replace and upgrade commercial glazing with an eye toward the thermal loading Austin buildings actually carry. A west-facing storefront in July takes UV and heat gain that breaks poor seals fast. We quote low-E and tint options side by side with the clear glass so the building owner sees the real energy cost difference before ordering. Tempered, laminated, or impact-rated – we pull the permit, do the install, and pass the inspection.

Curtain Wall Systems

Large commercial and mixed-use curtain wall work in Austin is a different discipline from residential window replacement, and we treat it that way. The thermal expansion on a 40-foot west-facing glass wall in an Austin August is measurable – aluminum mullions move. We specify and install curtain wall systems with the expansion joints and thermal breaks appropriate to our climate, not a generic spec copied from a mild-climate installation manual. For low-rise commercial buildings in and around the Domain and the Mueller development, we handle the glazing, the structural anchorage, and the water management details that keep a curtain wall from becoming a leak liability after the first big rain.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs

Simulated divided lites and architectural grilles matter in Austin more than in most markets because of the historic districts. Hyde Park, Old West Austin, and parts of Travis Heights have local review boards that care very much about divided-light pattern accuracy – not the width of the muntin on your Marvin, but whether the pattern reads as true to the original 1935 sash it’s replacing. We match existing grille profiles and SDL bar widths against the sample, in front of the homeowner, before the order is ever placed. If you’ve got an original 1940s divided-light window that’s beyond repair, we replicate the pattern rather than dropping in a modern grid that looks close enough. Close enough doesn’t pass a Hyde Park review board.

Trusted Brands We Service in Austin

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we service all of them -, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Austin homeowners specifically, we often quote CGI and ES Windows on impact-rated work, CWS for large-format or custom openings, and ECO Window Systems when the budget is tight but the opening is odd. Because we stock common glass sizes and seal systems for these lines locally, a service call or glass replacement in Austin doesn’t mean waiting three weeks on a freight truck. Call us to talk through which line fits your opening and your historic-district constraints.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Austin Homes

• Seal failure from 100°F thermal swings. Winter Storm Uri drove Austin to single digits in February 2021. That same July, we were over 100°F. That range destroys IGU seals on builder-grade vinyl from the 2010s and 2020s infill boom. Glass fogs, argon fill dies, and the window becomes a single pane with plastic around it. We see this constantly in 78702 and south Austin spec homes.
• Foundation-driven frame distortion on blackland clay. Austin’s eastern and central corridors sit on expansive clay that shrinks during drought and swells after rain. Pier-and-beam corners drop an inch or two, but the door header might be racked an inch and a half out of level. A new pre-hung door installed without addressing that will drag on the slab within a season. We check this on every estimate.
• Historic-overlay permit triggers. In Hyde Park and Old West Austin, opening up a wall for custom window work triggers city-mandated reviews that often require code upgrades to wiring, framing, or waterproofing that were original to the 1930s or 1960s cottage. This is not a surprise fee we spring on you. It’s a line item we put in the contract upfront.
• Oversized glass panels with no thermal-appropriate specification. Austin’s west- and south-facing elevations take brutal solar heat gain. A big fixed glass panel on a west wall without proper Low-E and SHGC matching turns that room into an oven from May through October. We specify glass packages for the orientation. That’s not a detail to skip.
