Windows in River Place, Austin, TX

Why did this River Place home need new windows?

The old windows had reached the end of their run. Frames like these lose their seal over time, and once that happens, cooled air leaks out and hot air creeps in. In a neighborhood full of 1980s and 1990s homes, that story is common.

• 22 windows scoped for full replacement
• Original units no longer sealing against summer heat
• Repeat client who trusted us with a full-home job
• Homeowner reached out Feb 24, 2026

What did we find during the measure?

Our window technician measured every opening before we ordered a thing. This matters more than people expect. Most of the home used standard sizes under 132 united inches, but a handful of openings ran larger and needed oversized units. Getting those numbers exact is the difference between a clean install and a frame that fights you on install day. We made the technician measure a formal step so nothing got guessed.

• Standard windows: up to 132 UI
• Oversized windows: greater than 132 UI
• Every opening field-measured before ordering
• Order placed late March once measurements were locked

What materials did we use, and why?

We went with NT Windows vinyl for a reason. NT builds their windows right here in Texas, so the product is designed around our climate instead of shipped in from a milder one. Vinyl holds its shape when the mercury climbs past 100 degrees, and it won't rot or need repainting the way wood frames do. For a home swapping 22 openings at once, that low-maintenance payoff adds up fast. The tighter seal also helps keep cedar pollen out during the worst of the season.

• Energy-efficient vinyl frame construction
• Texas-built line matched to local heat and humidity
• No repainting or rot maintenance down the road
• Better pollen and dust sealing than the old units

How did the two-day install go?

Windows arrived mid-May, and we scheduled the crew shortly after. The install ran May 12 to May 14 across three days on site. A job with 22 openings needs that time to do right, especially with the oversized units in the mix.

• Day one: bulk of standard openings pulled and set
• Day two: oversized units and final trim work
• Installation supplies and dump fee handled by our crew
• Delivery coordinated straight from windows supply

What were the results?

The home came out with a uniform, updated look and a far tighter envelope. Cooled air stays in, and the summer heat stays out where it belongs. For a full-home replacement, that's the win most homeowners are after.

• All 22 windows installed and sealed
• On-site work completed May 14, 2026
• Cleaner sightlines across the whole exterior
• Ready for the first 100-degree stretch of summer
