AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Somerset
Window replacement in Somerset, TX means dealing with a housing stock that’s different from what you’ll find inside Loop 410. Most homes here are manufactured units or wood-frame ranch houses built between the 1970s and 1990s, and most still carry their original single-pane aluminum windows. We know because we’ve measured them, replaced them, and fixed the botched installs other crews left behind. If you’re in the 78069 ZIP and your windows fog, bind, or leak air around the sashes, call us at (888) 635-0804. We’ll send a technician who knows what a HUD-code rough opening looks like, because that’s the job half the time out here.
Key takeaways for Somerset homeowners:
- Most Somerset replacement jobs involve non-standard manufactured-home openings, not off-the-shelf sizes.
- Impact-rated glass matters here because the 78069 ZIP sits in the San Antonio metro’s spring hail corridor.
- County permitting, not city permitting, governs most acreage work around Somerset.
- We quote in writing before any work starts, with both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Somerset’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008, and our crews have worked Somerset jobs since the beginning. The work here is different from San Antonio tract subdivisions. A Somerset home on acreage often has non-standard window openings from manufactured construction, and a general contractor who doesn’t know HUD sizing will either walk away or force a unit that doesn’t fit. We don’t do either. Our technicians measure every opening twice, then quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up at (888) 635-0804 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When a Somerset customer calls about a fogged seal or a window that won’t close after a storm, they talk to someone who can schedule a truck. That’s been our standard since day one.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print that covers neither. And before the truck leaves your driveway, The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with the durations stated. We stand behind the work.
Our Window Replacement Services in Somerset
Insert Window Replacement
This is the biggest part of our Somerset workload. Most homes in the 78069 ZIP carry original single-pane aluminum sliders, and the frames are usually still square enough to accept an insert. But here’s the catch: manufactured homes in Somerset run HUD-code rough openings that are several inches different from standard site-built dimensions. A big-box store insert will not fit correctly. We order from manufacturer lines that produce true HUD-sized replacement windows, so the insert seats tightly and seals. No forced adapters, no gaps.
Storm Window Replacement
Somerset sits in the San Antonio metro’s recurring spring hail corridor. We’ve replaced windows on ranch houses off Loop 1604 that looked like someone took a ball-peen hammer to the south elevation. Storm windows and impact-rated glazing are a real conversation after March and April roll through. We install impact-rated units from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows for homeowners who want one less thing to worry about when the hail starts. If you’re replacing storm-damaged windows, call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll scope it for a free estimate.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Summer temperatures in Somerset regularly pass 100°F, and the UV load here degrades vinyl frames and glazing seals faster than it does in central or north Texas. When we replace single-pane aluminum with double-pane low-E glass, the difference in a south-facing living room is immediate. We’ve had Somerset customers tell us their air conditioner finally cycles off in July. That’s what low-E glass and a properly set frame does. We quote Andersen, Milgard, and ECO Window Systems lines side by side so you can see the price difference before you commit.
Full Frame Replacement
Some Somerset homes have frames that are too far gone for inserts. Warped jambs, corroded aluminum, failed weatherstripping that’s been gone for a decade. In those jobs, we pull the entire frame, square up the rough opening, and set a new unit with proper flashing tape and sill pan. On acreage lots with septic and well systems, drainage often routes near foundation walls, so we pay close attention to water management at the sill. A full frame replacement done wrong will wick moisture into framing that’s already stressed by open-lot grading. We do it right the first time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Somerset
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Somerset we lean on a subset that makes sense for the housing stock and the weather. Window Replacement through TruePane includes CGI and ES Windows for impact-rated storm protection, plus ECO Window Systems for energy-efficient double-pane units that handle south Texas heat. We keep supplier relationships for HUD-code manufactured home sizes, which means we can source a proper replacement unit for a Somerset manufactured home without a four-week special-order headache. You get options on paper, not a single line item with no explanation.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Somerset Homes
- Non-standard manufactured-home openings. HUD-code window rough openings run several inches different from site-built sizes. Contractors who force standard inserts into these openings leave air and water leaks around the frame, and the homeowner inherits the problem.
- Warped and corroded aluminum frames. Original single-pane aluminum sliders on 70s and 80s ranch houses here show frame warping, failed weatherstripping, and corroded hardware by the time we’re called. South- and west-facing elevations suffer first because of the sustained heat and UV.
- Fogged double-pane glass. Seal failure is common across Somerset, but manufactured homes have an added wrinkle: the replacement glass package often needs to match non-standard sash dimensions. We measure the sash and order glass that fits, rather than replacing the whole window when the frame is still good.
- Moisture intrusion at the sill. Homes on acreage with septic and well systems often route drainage near foundation walls. Without proper flashing tape and a sill pan, replacement windows wick moisture into wood framing. We inspect the existing water management before we quote.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Somerset, TX
Here’s what we tell Somerset homeowners when they ask about cost, because a square deal means putting numbers on paper. A typical insert window replacement in Somerset runs $450 to $950 per window installed, depending on glass package and whether we’re working with a HUD-code opening that needs a custom-sourced insert. A full frame replacement runs $850 to $1,600 per window, more if we’re pulling rotted framing and squaring the jambs. Storm windows and impact-rated upgrades run $700 to $1,400 per window for CGI or ES Windows impact glass. Energy-efficient double-pane retrofits run $550 to $1,100 per window with low-E coating. Detached shops, mother-in-law suites, and outbuildings are priced per opening after we measure. Call (888) 635-0804 for a written, line-item quote. Estimates are free.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Somerset
No, and that’s exactly why you should have a technician who knows HUD-code sizing look at the job before you buy anything. Manufactured homes in Somerset use rough openings that follow HUD/manufactured-home sizing standards, which run several inches different from standard site-built dimensions. A big-box insert will leave gaps that leak air and water, and the store will not tell you that before you load the cart. We source true HUD-sized replacement units from manufacturer lines we carry, and we measure every opening twice before ordering. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll come out and give you a written quote for units that actually fit.
For most acreage work around Somerset, you’re dealing with Bexar County permitting rather than city permitting, because large portions of the 78069 ZIP sit outside the Somerset city limits proper. But the right answer on any specific property depends on whether the home is in the city’s jurisdiction and whether the job is a straight insert replacement or a full frame pull. We check permit requirements for every job before we quote, and we pull the permit when one is required. You won’t find out about a missing permit after the inspector shows up.
Yes. Somerset sits within the San Antonio metro’s spring hail corridor, and impact-rated glass from manufacturers like CGI and PGT is engineered to withstand the kind of hail that shatters standard annealed glass. It will not make your house hail-proof, but it keeps a broken window from becoming a water-damaged interior wall. We install impact-rated glazing on ranch houses, manufactured homes, and outbuildings throughout the 78069 ZIP. Call (888) 635-0804 for a side-by-side quote on standard versus impact-rated glass so you can see the price difference in writing.
In most cases, yes. Fog between the panes means the seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. On Somerset homes with original double-pane windows starting to fail, we can often replace the glass package rather than the entire window, as long as the frame is still square and the sash hardware is solid. That’s usually the cheaper fix. But on manufactured homes, the sash dimensions may be non-standard, which means the replacement glass needs to be sourced from a supplier who handles HUD sizes. We measure first, then quote. Free estimates at (888) 635-0804.
Yes. Outbuildings, detached shops, garages, and mother-in-law suites are routine for our Somerset crews. The openings are often site-built and non-standard, which means they get measured individually like any other job. On acreage lots with septic and well setbacks, we also check drainage near the foundation before we quote, because outbuildings often sit close to grade and a replacement window with poor sill flashing will wick water into the framing. We scope the whole property, give you a written quote, and do the work in one visit when the openings allow it.
