AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Somerset
Impact windows and doors in Somerset run roughly $900-$2,800 per opening installed, with sliding glass doors starting near $3,200 and entry doors in the $2,500-$5,500 range depending on size and framing condition. Most Somerset jobs take one to two days per opening once materials arrive, and on manufactured homes we allow extra time for custom jamb adapters that standard site-built stock won’t cover. If you’re calling from 78069 and the windows are original to the house, call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll send a tech out to measure the rough openings properly before anyone quotes you a number.
We work out here regularly, from Benton City Road down to the acreage off Somerset Road, and we know what this housing stock throws at a crew. Manufactured homes and older ranch houses don’t take off-the-shelf impact windows the way a San Antonio subdivision house does, and the contractors who pretend otherwise are the ones who leave foam gaps and warranty paperwork that doesn’t hold. Our Impact Windows & Doors team scopes each opening on paper before quoting, so the number we give you is the number on the bill.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Somerset’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the rule on the whiteboard since day one hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re not a franchise operation running crews through town on a rotation. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and back every install with the Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right after we leave, we make it right, no paperwork fight and no arguing over whose fault it is.
Somerset homeowners call us because we answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When a hail storm rolls through the south Bexar County corridor in April and you’ve got a cracked pane on a patio door, you want someone on the line who knows what a HUD rough opening is. That’s us.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they treat your home the way they’d treat their own mother’s. Every opening gets measured twice. Every quote lists manufacturer lines side by side, on paper, so you can see exactly what you’re buying. And before the truck leaves your driveway, both warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every job we do in Somerset.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Somerset
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most of the work we do in the 78069 ZIP is replacing original single-pane aluminum sliders in manufactured and HUD-code homes, and these units are chronically undersized for south Texas heat loads. A proper impact window here has to do two jobs at once: hold up to wind-borne debris and cut the solar gain that pushes cooling bills past $300 a month in July. We quote impact-rated lines from PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem side by side so you can see the glass package, the frame material, and the warranty terms before you commit.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors on Somerset manufactured homes are a particular headache because the rough openings follow HUD sizing standards, not site-built dimensions. Standard impact sliders don’t fit without custom jamb adapters, and a crew that doesn’t know that will either walk away or force the opening with shims and spray foam. We’ve replaced failing sliders on double-wides off Benton City Road where the original doors had seal failure so bad you could wipe condensation from between the panes. Our techs source impact-rated sliders sized to the actual opening, flash and level them properly, and re-trim the interior so the finished product looks like it was built that way.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry doors in Somerset ranch houses and manufactured homes are frequently hollow-core originals with corroded hardware and failed weatherstripping. When we upgrade to an impact-rated entry or French door, we’re not just hanging a new slab. We check the king and jack studs, replace rotted framing where we find it, and set the threshold on a level base so the door doesn’t bind in July when the clay soil under the slab expands and shifts. A door that rattles in the wind is doing nothing for your wind mitigation inspection.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening on most Somerset homes, and a non-rated door is the first thing a wind mitigation inspector flags. Impact-rated garage doors need reinforcement on the tracks and hinges, not just a heavier panel, and the work has to be done by someone who understands the shear load path. We handle the full replacement, including the bracing and the wind-load documentation that your insurer wants to see.

Trusted Brands We Service in Somerset
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Somerset homes we routinely quote PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem because their impact-rated product lines include the HUD-compatible sizes and custom configurations this housing stock demands. When you’ve got a manufactured home with non-standard rough openings, the brand matters less than the supplier relationship, and we’ve spent years building the channels that get the right unit here without a six-week wait. We don’t push one brand. We show you the options, the prices, and the warranty durations, and we let you decide.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Somerset Homes
- Shade-tree installs on HUD rough openings. The previous guy mates an impact window to a manufactured-home opening with wood shims and spray foam, then walks away. There’s no structural shear transfer, and when the wind load test comes, it fails. We see this all over 78069, and it’s the number one reason homeowners call us after the fact.
- Site-built windows forced into manufactured homes. A San Antonio contractor quotes standard residential sizes, shows up, and discovers the rough openings are HUD-sized. Rather than admit it, they jam adapters in place, leaving air and water leaks around the perimeter. You can feel the draft in January and the humidity in August.
- Clay-soil heave on open acreage. Somerset sits on expansive clay. When a slab or perimeter stem wall moves, improperly flashed and leveled window openings crack the sealant and create water intrusion at the sill. We account for this before we set the first unit, with proper flashing and a level base that lets the opening move without failing.
- Fogged panes on original sliders. Seal failure is the most common call we get from manufactured home owners. Once condensation appears between the panes, the insulating value is gone and the glass has to be replaced. It’s not a repair that buys time. It’s a sign the whole assembly is at end of life.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Somerset, TX
A straightforward impact window replacement in Somerset runs $900-$1,800 per opening for a standard site-built home. On manufactured homes with HUD rough openings, plan on $1,200-$2,800 per opening because of the custom jamb adapters and interior re-trim work. Impact sliding glass doors start around $3,200 and climb to $6,000 or more for large multi-panel units. Entry and French doors run $2,500-$5,500 depending on framing condition and whether we’re replacing rotted jambs. Impact garage doors typically land between $2,800 and $5,200 for a single-car, more for double-wide openings with reinforcement.
What changes the price on acreage is access. Long gravel drives, tight gates, and material staging areas all factor in, and we scope that before we quote so you’re not surprised by an “equipment access” line item later. We also pull county permits where required and make sure the wind mitigation documentation is correct the first time. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free, written, line-item estimate. No change orders unless you change the scope.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Somerset
Impact window and door replacement on existing openings in Somerset is generally handled through Bexar County permitting rather than a city building department, though the exact requirement depends on whether you’re on incorporated land or county acreage. We handle the permit paperwork and inspection coordination as part of every job, and we don’t start work until the permit is cleared. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll check your specific property before we quote.
Yes, but only if they’re installed correctly with the right jamb adapters and structural attachment. A properly adapted impact window on a HUD-code home passes wind mitigation inspection the same as a site-built install. The failures we see are almost always from crews who forced standard windows into HUD openings with shims and foam, which leaves no shear transfer and fails the load test. We install to the manufacturer’s specs and provide the documentation your insurer needs.
Fog between the panes means the seal has failed, and on most Somerset homes with original single-pane aluminum sliders, the frame is also worn past the point where a glass-only swap makes sense. You can replace the insulated glass unit in some cases, but if the frame is warped, corroded, or leaking air around the sash, full replacement is the honest recommendation. We’ll tell you which is which after we look, and we’ll show you the numbers for both options. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free assessment.
We plan for it before we quote. Long gravel drives, gate widths, and staging space all get scoped on the first visit so the price you see reflects the real logistics, not a guess. Our crews bring the materials they need for the full job, and we schedule the haul so we’re not making repeated runs down a washboard road. If your access is tight, we’ll tell you what that changes and why, before you sign anything.
Yes. Detached shops and outbuildings on Somerset acreage are common, and the old steel doors they came with were never rated for wind load. We can set impact-rated doors in these outbuildings, including reinforcing the rough opening and replacing the threshold. The same Done Right Promise and warranty registration applies, whether it’s the main house or the shop.
If you’re in Somerset and the windows or doors you’ve got are original to the house, call (888) 635-0804. We’ll measure, we’ll quote it straight on paper, and we’ll register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. A square deal, done right.
