NT Windows

This project put 11-plus NT Windows Twinsulator aluminum windows into a Spicewood at Balcones Village home. The order included an oversized unit over 120 united inches and a changed opening height. We chose Twinsulator frames for their strength and heat performance under Austin's 100-degree summers. Dark bronze finishes were sealed with clear caulk and foam for a lasting, airtight fit.

Siding

James Hardie

New siding went up over multiple days in March, giving this aging home a fresh, durable exterior. Painting followed shortly after with Sherwin Williams products. The upgrade helps the house shrug off hail, cedar pollen buildup, and relentless summer sun. Clean lines and a full repaint left the home looking years younger.

How It works

The Journey

First Contact

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out on April 6, 2022. Early conversations centered on tired, leaky windows and a dated exterior on this 1980s-era Spicewood home.

Evaluation

We inspected the existing windows and cladding and found failing seals, drafts, and sun-worn siding. One opening needed a height change, and the plan called for an oversized window over 120 united inches. Findings pointed toward a full window replacement plus new siding.

Planning & Approval

The project moved from prospect on May 5, 2022 to approved the next day, May 6. We finalized NT Windows Twinsulator selections in dark bronze, handled permit and measure fees, and confirmed the siding and paint scope.

Installation

Windows were ordered in late May but arrived in late October due to COVID-related manufacturing delays. The crew installed all 11-plus units over several days in December, sealing each with clear caulk and window foam. Siding followed over multiple days in March, with painting right behind.

Completion

The project wrapped on March 31, 2023, with a tighter, quieter home and a fully updated exterior.

We replaced 11-plus windows and re-sided a home in Spicewood at Balcones Village, Austin, TX, then finished with a full exterior repaint. The house came out tighter, quieter, and ready for another decade of Central Texas weather.

Project at a glance

Services: Windows and siding
Neighborhood / City: Spicewood at Balcones Village, Austin, TX (78750)
Vendor & product: NT Windows Twinsulator aluminum windows
Material: Dark bronze aluminum frames, sealed with clear caulk and window foam
Timeframe: Approved May 2022, completed March 31, 2023
Standout outcome: A dated 1980s exterior turned into a sealed, hail-ready shell with fresh paint

Why did this Spicewood home need new windows?

The original windows were tired and leaky, common for homes of this age in 78750. Older single-pane and worn aluminum units let heat pour in during summer and drove up cooling bills.

Homeowner reached out through an internet search in April 2022
Existing openings showed drafts and poor seals
One window opening needed its height changed to fit the new layout
Cedar pollen and dust had settled into failing gaps around the frames

What made NT Windows Twinsulator the right pick?

We went with NT Windows Twinsulator aluminum units for a specific reason. Aluminum frames stay dimensionally stable when Austin days push past 100 degrees, and Twinsulator glass handles the heat load far better than the old panes. The homeowner also wanted a bold dark bronze look, which changes how you seal the job. Dark frames absorb more heat, so we use clear caulk instead of standard sealant to avoid discoloration and keep the finish crisp. That detail matters, and it's one homeowners rarely think about until a bronze frame is streaked with tan caulk.

One oversized window over 120 united inches
Clear caulk chosen specifically for the dark bronze finish
Window foam packed behind each frame for a full air seal

How did the timeline actually play out?

This job ran long, and we want to be straight about why. The windows were ordered in late May, but lingering COVID-era manufacturing delays pushed delivery to late October. We installed them over several days that December, working opening by opening to keep the home sealed against winter cold. Siding came later, going up across multiple days in March, with painting following right behind. The full project closed out on March 31, 2023.

Windows ordered: late May
Windows received: late October (manufacturing backlog)
Window install: multi-day, December
Siding install: multi-day, March
Painting: immediately after siding

What did the siding and paint work involve?

The new siding replaced worn exterior cladding that had taken years of sun and storm damage. Fresh boards gave the home a straighter, cleaner face and a better barrier against hail and driving rain.

Siding installed over several days in March
Exterior repaint done with Sherwin Williams products
Materials sourced through local suppliers including ABC Supply Co. and Lowe's
Paint followed siding to protect the new surface fast

What were the results?

The home feels different from the street and from inside. Rooms hold their temperature better, outside noise dropped, and the bronze windows against fresh paint give the place a modern, finished look.

Tighter thermal envelope for lower summer cooling strain
Sealed frames that keep out cedar pollen and dust
A weather-ready exterior built for hail season
A cohesive, updated curb appeal

Frequently asked questions

How long did the whole project take?

From approval in May 2022 to completion on March 31, 2023. Most of that stretch was waiting on windows, which arrived in late October after pandemic-related factory delays.

Why aluminum windows for an Austin home?

Aluminum frames stay stable through the region's brutal heat swings without warping. Paired with Twinsulator glass, they help cut the cooling load that hammers 78750 homes each summer.

What did this project cost?

The full scope of windows, siding, and painting landed in the $75,000 to $100,000 range. Pricing reflects 11-plus windows, an oversized unit, permit and measure fees, and a full siding and repaint package.

Why use clear caulk on the windows?

Dark bronze frames show light-colored caulk badly over time. Clear caulk keeps the seal invisible and the finish clean, which is why we spec it on every dark or bronze window order.
