Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Manor
Window replacement in Manor costs between $650 and $1,450 per window for a standard insert install, while full-frame work on a 2000s tract home runs $1,200 to $2,800 per opening depending on what the slab has done to the framing. Those are the straight numbers we quote over the phone. The bigger question we answer first is whether your clay soil is still moving, because that changes everything about which window belongs in your wall. Our crews live and work in Manor, we know ShadowGlen’s summer glare and the downtown bungalows with their original wood sashes, and we schedule free estimates within a few days of your call. For a direct answer on any window problem, call (888) 635-0804 and a person picks up.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Manor’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane has been taking care of homeowners since 2008, and Dale Kessler built this company in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Manor homeowners call us because we answer the phone with a live person, day or night, and because we do not treat this prairie soil like it is just another suburb of Austin. We know the difference between a window that is worn out and a window that is fighting a moving foundation.
Our technicians show up in uniform, background-checked, and they measure every opening twice. When a Manor customer in ShadowGlen asks why their south-facing double-hung sticks every July, we look at the jamb before we talk about the sash. The problem is usually not the window. It is the black gumbo beneath the slab, swelling and shrinking with every wet spring and dry August. That local knowledge is why homeowners across Manor keep our number in their phones, and why our reputation in the community rests on work that holds up against soil movement, hail season, and years of unobstructed prairie sun.
You will not get a call center or a voicemail tree when you contact us. A live person answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are comparing quotes, we will sit down with you and lay out manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you are buying. We register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. No arguing later, no paperwork fights. That is The Keystone Standard, and it is how every TruePane job in Manor is run.
Our Window Replacement Services in Manor
Full Frame Replacement
This is the job Manor’s tract homes from the mid-2000s and later usually need. A full-frame replacement removes the entire existing window down to the rough opening, lets us correct any out-of-plumb framing caused by clay-soil movement, and installs a new unit that actually fits the opening as it exists today. Builder-grade vinyl frames from the ShadowGlen era do not justify an insert when the jamb has shifted three-eighths of an inch off square. We square the opening, flash it properly, and set a window that will not bind when the slab moves again.
Insert Window Replacement
An insert, sometimes called a pocket replacement, fits a new window inside the existing frame. In Manor, inserts work well on newer homes where the original frame is still square and the opening is stable. If your home is on the western edge of Manor where newer slabs are still settling or has been re-leveled once already, we may recommend a full-frame unit instead. The honest answer is that an insert is only as good as the frame it sits in, and on this prairie clay we check that carefully before quoting.
Storm Window Replacement
Manor sits in the heart of Central Texas’s active hail corridor. Storm windows take the hit so your primary glazing does not. For older downtown homes that still carry single-pane wood sash windows, a well-built exterior storm unit preserves the historic look while adding a real layer of impact protection and some insulation. For newer homes, impact-rated glazing is often a better spend than a separate storm layer. We will show you both options on paper and let you decide.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Manor’s open prairie offers far less tree canopy than Austin’s established neighborhoods. South- and west-facing windows here catch hours of unobstructed UV, which is why we recommend low-E coated, argon-filled double-pane units for most Manor homes. The combination cuts solar heat gain in August and lowers the load on your air conditioning. On a full-frame replacement, we can also correct air leaks around the rough opening that builder-grade installs from the 2000s routinely left behind.
Trusted Brands We Service in Manor
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Manor specifically we stock and quote PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem among others. PGT and CGI make impact-rated glazing that holds up to the hail this area sees, and Ply Gem offers solid mid-market vinyl and composite lines that suit newer tract construction. We keep local parts inventory moving through our Austin dispatch office so Manor crews are not waiting on a truck from Dallas to finish your job. When a Texas storm snaps a sash or cracks a pane, you want a installer who can get the replacement glass cut and set without a two-week lead time.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Manor Homes
- Warped south- and west-facing vinyl frames. Builder-grade vinyl on Manor’s newer subdivisions bakes in nearly treeless prairie sun. Sashes warp, channels distort, and argon seals fail in as little as 10 years, long before the glass wears out.
- Foundation-driven jamb misalignment. Blackland Prairie clay moves seasonally. A window that never fit perfectly from day one becomes impossible to open or leaks air as the slab shifts the framing out of square.
- Fogged insulated glass units on well-built frames. Clay-soil racking stresses the seal between the sash and the glass unit even when the frame itself looks fine. If you see condensation between the panes on a newer Manor home, the real culprit may be slab movement, not a defective window.
- Original wood-sash windows in downtown Manor. Early-1900s and mid-century homes in the original town core still carry single-pane wood sashes that predate modern glazing standards. These need historic restoration expertise, not a big-box insert.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Manor, TX
A standard insert replacement for a vinyl window in Manor runs $650 to $1,450 per window, depending on size, glazing, and whether the opening needs minor shimming. Full-frame replacement, which corrects an out-of-plumb opening and replaces everything down to the studs, runs $1,200 to $2,800 per opening in Manor’s tract homes. Impact-rated glazing from PGT or CGI adds roughly 30% to 50% over standard double-pane, which on a typical Manor home is the difference between $900 and $1,600 per window.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Manor
Manor sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay, the same east Travis County black gumbo that swells in wet seasons and shrinks in dry ones. This seasonal movement pushes and pulls on slabs unevenly, and that stress travels up through the framing and into your window and door openings. Limestone terrain west of Austin holds still. Manor’s clay does not. We check slab movement history before recommending any frame work so you do not pay for a square window that immediately binds. Call (888) 635-0804 and we will look at the evidence on your property before quoting.
No. Fog between the panes means the insulated glass unit’s seal has failed, and on a ShadowGlen-era home the usual trigger is clay-driven racking stressing the sash. Surface condensation on the room side is normal in humid weather; between-the-panes fog is permanent and calls for a replacement unit, not a cleaning. We can match the original vinyl color or upgrade to a low-E unit while we are in the opening. Call (888) 635-0804 for an exact quote.
Impact-rated glazing from PGT or CGI is worth it in Manor because this area sits in Central Texas’s active hail corridor. A hailstone that cracks a standard double-pane will bounce off an impact-rated unit. Manor’s open prairie means little tree cover to slow the wind, so flying debris is a real factor in storm season. For most Manor homes, the added cost of impact-rated glass is a practical upgrade, not a coastal-only upsell. We will quote standard and impact options side by side.
A full-frame replacement removes the entire existing window, including the frame and trim, down to the rough opening in the studs. We then square and flash the opening correctly, which matters in Manor because builder-grade original installs from the mid-2000s often sit in openings that have since moved with the clay. The new window gets set plumb and level, insulated around the perimeter, and trimmed out to match your interior. Most full-frame jobs on Manor tract homes take one to two days for a standard multi-window scope.
Original wood-sash windows in downtown Manor’s early-1900s to mid-century homes are built into frames that have survived decades of clay-soil movement and still hold the structure’s historic character. An off-the-shelf insert destroys that profile and usually fits poorly in an opening that is no longer perfectly rectangular. Specialist restoration means repairing the existing sash, replacing broken glass with period-appropriate material, and stabilizing the frame without ripping out the wood that makes the house what it is. We quote these as custom projects, priced after we see the window in person.
If you live in Manor and you are tired of windows that stick, bake the room, or fog between the panes, call (888) 635-0804. A live person answers. We will schedule a free estimate, measure every opening twice, and give you a written line-item price before anything is ordered. The work is done right, and we stand behind it.
