Full-Home Andersen 100 Series Window Replacement | Black-on-Black Fibrex Frames Built for Austin Heat
This full-home window project in Steiner Ranch used the Andersen 100 Series with black interior and exterior frames. The frames are built from Fibrex, a composite that resists the swelling and fading you get from 100-degree Texas summers. We picked this line for its strength, tight seals, and clean profile on an early-2000s home. The result: better comfort inside and a bold curb-appeal upgrade.

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out in early August 2022. We talked through their goals for a full-home window upgrade and moved them to the prospect stage on August 8, 2022.
Our team visited the Steiner Ranch home to inspect the existing builder-grade windows and measure each opening. We checked seals, trim, and sills for heat wear and hidden moisture, then confirmed the openings were ready for a direct replacement with the Andersen 100 Series.
The homeowner reviewed the estimate and approved the project on September 19, 2022. They selected the Andersen 100 Series in a black interior and exterior finish. Custom windows were ordered in late January 2023 to fit every measured opening.
The windows arrived June 30, 2023, and installation began early July. Our crew, with installer Pablo Martinez and materials from ABC Supply Co., removed each old unit and set the new Andersen windows over multiple days. Every opening was resealed for a tight fit.
The project was invoiced and completed on July 11, 2023, with a final walkthrough to confirm each window sealed and operated cleanly. The home gained a matched, energy-smart window set and a bold new exterior. The job closed out in September 2023.
We replaced every window in this Steiner Ranch home with the Andersen 100 Series in a black-on-black finish, cutting heat gain and giving the exterior a modern, unified look.
Steiner Ranch homes from the early 2000s often shipped with builder-grade windows. Two decades of Central Texas sun takes a toll on those. The homeowner wanted better comfort and a fresh exterior look at the same time.
Our crew walked the home during the evaluation and measured every opening. Older builder windows here tend to have thin frames and worn weatherstripping. That lets conditioned air leak out and pushes your AC to run harder through July and August. We also checked the surrounding trim and sills for any hidden moisture damage, which is common when seals fail over time. The good news: the openings were sound and ready for a direct replacement once the new units arrived.
We went with the Andersen 100 Series built from Fibrex composite frames. Fibrex matters a lot in Austin. It blends wood fiber and polymer, so it holds its shape when summer temps push past 100 degrees. Cheaper vinyl can soften and warp under that kind of steady heat, which loosens seals and lets air slip through. Fibrex stays stable, keeps the seal tight, and holds its color instead of fading in the sun. The black-on-black finish also hides cedar pollen streaks better than a bright white frame during allergy season.
Windows were ordered in late January and arrived June 30. Install began July 11 and ran across multiple days, since a full-home swap takes care and a steady pace. Our crew pulled each old unit, set the new Andersen window, and sealed it before moving on.
The home now has a matched set of energy-smart windows and a sharper street presence. The dark frames pull the whole exterior together. Inside, the tighter seals help the AC keep up during those long Texas afternoons.
The custom windows were ordered in January 2023 and delivered at the end of June. Install started July 11 and wrapped over a few days. Manufacturing lead time is the biggest chunk, so ordering early always helps.
Yes. Fibrex handles repeated 100-degree days far better than standard vinyl, which can warp and lose its seal. That stability keeps your energy bills and comfort in check year after year.
This project fell in the $40k–$50k range for a complete Andersen 100 Series replacement. Your number depends on window count, sizes, and finish options. We give a firm quote after measuring every opening.
We do. Austin Pro also handles siding, roofing, doors, and more, so you can bundle exterior projects with one crew and one point of contact.
Austin Pro crafts exteriors that not only captivate but also promise steadfast protection and reliability, embodying the vibrant spirit of Austin in every facade. Your home's exterior is its silent storyteller and first impression; let us help it speak volumes without uttering a word.
