AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Somerset
Somerset Window Replacement means working with the homes that are actually here: manufactured and HUD-code units, modest wood-frame ranches from the 70s and 80s, and the occasional newer build south of 1604. A typical full-frame window replacement in this market runs $650 to $1,600 per opening depending on size, material, and what the crew finds once the old unit comes out. That second part matters more in Somerset than almost anywhere else in Bexar County, because the existing openings rarely match what the big-box store shelf expects. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll walk you through it before anyone touches a wall.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Somerset’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We’ve spent years in this trade, and the jobs that stick with us are the ones where a homeowner already paid somebody once and got a fogged seal, a binding sash, or a gap someone filled with expanding foam and called “weatherproofing.” Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still names the company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. In Somerset that means knowing the rough openings in a 1992 HUD-code home off Somerset Road are not going to accept a standard Milgard pocket insert without adaptation, and knowing which of our PGT and ES Windows supplier lines carries the non-standard sizes we need. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and we put it on every invoice in the 78069 ZIP.
Our Somerset customers call a live person when they phone, any hour of any day. Not a voicemail tree. Not a regional call center. Our dispatch is coordinated out of the San Antonio office, and crews run local routes through Somerset weekly. We show up when we say, we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and we don’t load the final bill with change orders you never approved. If you live out near Atascosa or along I-35 toward Lytle, you’re still inside our normal service day. The phone number is (888) 635-0804.
Our Window Installation Services in Somerset
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows are the dominant original equipment in Somerset’s manufactured and ranch homes, and they fail in predictable ways: corroded tracks, cracked rollers, and frames that have twisted in two decades of 100-degree afternoons. A replacement sliding window in Somerset typically runs $450 to $1,100 per opening for a standard horizontal slider, more when the rough opening forces a custom order. We stock and source the HUD-code sizes most San Antonio suppliers don’t keep on the shelf, which is why we can close jobs other contractors won’t bid.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung units are our most common upgrade when Somerset homeowners want exterior cleaning they can actually do and ventilation that doesn’t require sliding a whole panel. Expect $700 to $1,500 per window for a full-frame double hung in this market, depending on grid pattern and glass package. In older ranch houses near Macdona, the original aluminum singles are so UV-baked that the sash welds crack during removal. That’s not a repair; it’s a full-frame replacement, and we’ll tell you that on the first visit, not after the wall is open.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows make sense for the south-facing walls that bake under the South Texas Plains sun from May through September. A large picture window replacement in a Somerset ranch runs $900 to $2,400 installed, more if Impact Windows & Doors - Somerset options are part of the conversation. Because fixed units have no moving hardware to fail, we see them hold up better in the 78069 ZIP, but the original aluminum frames from the 70s and 80s are still leaking around the flange. We re-flash every opening with butyl tape, not caulk alone.
Casement & Awning Windows
Casement windows give Somerset homeowners full-opening ventilation with a tighter seal than sliders, and awning units are a practical choice above kitchen sinks and on walls where afternoon rain blows sideways. Budget $800 to $1,800 per awning or casement window in this market. The hardware lasts longer than a slider’s roller assembly, but the original units in manufactured homes often sit in rough openings that are an inch smaller than modern site-built dimensions. We measure first. Then we quote. Never the other way around.

Trusted Brands We Service in Somerset
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Somerset we lean on PGT, CWS, and ES Windows because their product catalogs cover the non-standard HUD-code openings that define this market. We show you the quotes side by side on paper: one from a standard residential line, one from a line that builds to the sizes we actually need. No upselling, no dealer markup games. We put the numbers in front of you and let the warranty paperwork do the talking. Senior and veteran discounts apply permanently, and that’s 5% off the top, every job, no expiration.
If you’re comparing a Somerset quote to what a friend paid in a San Antonio subdivision, remember this: manufactured-home window rough openings follow HUD sizing standards, not the stick-built dimensions most residential stock is manufactured around. Off-the-shelf replacements get shimmed, crammed, or gapped, and those gaps leak air and water from day one. We’d rather tell you the price of a correctly sized unit up front than bury it in a change order later. That’s a square deal.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Somerset Homes
- Rough openings that don’t match the stock. Manufactured homes built to HUD-code standards use window openings sized differently than site-built homes. An off-the-shelf Andersen or Pella sash doesn’t drop in. Our Window Installation team sources or adapts units to the actual opening, and we quote that from the first measurement.
- Corroded aluminum frames from two decades of Texas sun. Original single-pane aluminum on 70s and 80s ranches is often so UV-degraded that the sash welds fail during removal. Pocket inserts aren’t an option when the frame itself is crumbling. We recommend full-frame replacement and quote it honestly.
- Permit-triggered surprises in the wall cavity. Somerset’s housing stock is aging, and opening a wall for a window swap sometimes exposes outdated wiring or failed waterproofing that code inspection requires repaired on the spot. We write allowances into the contract up front and price any change order in writing before we touch it. You’ll never hear about a surprise line item after the fact.
- Failed insulated glass units in single-pane replacements. Somerset’s intense UV and heat cycles kill failed glazing seals faster than in central or north Texas. If the glass is cloudy between the panes, the seal has failed and the whole IGU comes out. We replace it with low-E argon glass rated for south Texas heat loads, and we register both warranty layers so you know exactly how long that glass is covered.
Pricing for Window Installation in Somerset, TX
Window installation in the 78069 ZIP runs wide because the housing stock runs wide. A basic vinyl single-hung in a standard site-built ranch opening might run $650 installed. A full-frame double-hung in a manufactured home that needs a custom HUD-code size, re-flashing, and a permit inspection often lands between $1,200 and $1,800. Picture windows in larger living-room openings start around $900 and run past $2,400 when impact-rated. Casement and awning units fall between $800 and $1,800. What moves a quote: opening squareness, rot at the sill, whether the house is a manufactured unit with non-standard rough openings, and whether you want Energy-Efficient Windows - Somerset with standard low-E or impact-rated glazing. We quote all of it in writing before you sign, and the Done Right Promise covers the workmanship if anything isn’t done right. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate with real numbers, not a range of possibilities.

FAQs - Window Installation in Somerset
The first inspection opens the conversation, not the wall. When the original single-pane aluminum windows in a 1980s ranch off Somerset Road come out, we sometimes find rough openings a full inch undersized for standard replacements, or rotted sills under the flashing, or wiring that a permit inspection won’t pass while the cavity is open. The honest contractor writes these as contract allowances from the start and prices any additional work in writing before it happens. The dishonest one quotes low and changes the number after demolition. We’re the first kind. Call (888) 635-0804 and ask for a written allowance schedule before you sign anything.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. HUD-code manufactured homes use rough openings that follow HUD sizing standards, not the site-built dimensions those manufacturer lines commonly produce. We can cross-reference your actual opening against Andersen, Pella, PGT, CWS, and ES Windows catalogs. If a standard line fits, we quote it. If it doesn’t, we source a correctly sized unit from a manufacturer line that builds to HUD dimensions. We show you both quotes side by side, and we never shim a standard sash into a non-standard opening to make the sale.
It can, and that’s not a scare tactic. Somerset homes built in the 70s, 80s, and 90s often carry outdated wiring and failed waterproofing in the wall cavities a window swap exposes. A permit inspection that sees those conditions can require remediation before the job passes. We handle this by writing inspection-first language and allowances into the contract up front. If the inspector flags something, we price it in writing and get your approval before touching it. No change orders you didn’t see coming. Call (888) 635-0804 to talk through what your specific house might trigger.
For most Somerset homeowners, yes. The 78069 ZIP sits near the southern edge of the San Antonio metro’s recurring spring hail corridor. A single hailstorm can crack a standard double-pane unit or shatter a patio slider. Impact-rated PGT and CWS glass is built specifically to survive those storms, and the installed cost typically runs 25 to 40% above standard low-E glazing. If you’re staying in the house for ten more years, that premium buys measurable protection and often reduces insurance exposure. We’ll quote both options on paper so you can see the exact difference, not a percentage guess.
Cloudiness or fog between the panes that won’t wipe off means the seal has failed and the insulated glass unit needs replacement. You may also notice condensation between the panes on humid mornings, or the glass feeling warm on the inside during a Somerset summer afternoon. A failed IGU isn’t repairable; the whole glass package comes out and a new low-E argon unit goes in. We replace failed IGUs in Somerset regularly, and both warranty layers on the new glass get registered in writing before the crew leaves. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll take a look.
If you’re in Somerset and you’ve been wondering whether those windows are finally done, call (888) 635-0804. We’ll measure the openings, quote the job in writing, and tell you exactly what happens once the old units come out. No pressure, no voicemail, no surprises. That’s the way Dale Kessler built this company, and it’s the only way we know how to work.
