Windows in Falkirk Cove, Round Rock, TX

Why did this Falkirk Cove home need new windows?

The home carried its original builder-grade windows, common in Round Rock subdivisions from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Those units had lost their seal and let too much heat in.

• 32 total windows flagged for replacement
• Several oversized openings over 132 united inches
• Aging frames no longer sealing against dust and heat

What did we find when we inspected the home?

Our window technician measured every opening before we ordered a single unit. That step matters more than most homeowners realize. Builder homes in this part of Round Rock rarely have perfectly square openings, and after 20-plus years of limestone soil movement, a few had shifted just enough to throw off standard sizing. We made the measure a formal step so nothing got guessed. A handful of openings came back oversized, past the 132 united-inch threshold, which changed how we ordered and priced those specific units.

• Detailed per-opening measure completed before ordering
• Both standard and oversized units confirmed
• Field mulling planned for wider openings needing joined units

What materials did we use, and why?

We went with NT Executive Vinyl Windows for this whole-home job. Vinyl is the right call for Round Rock, and here's the real reason. Central Texas swings from 100°-plus summer afternoons to freezing January mornings, and that constant expansion punishes cheaper frames over time. Vinyl handles that cycling without warping, and it never needs repainting the way wood does. The homeowner chose white inside and out for a clean, consistent look that matched the home's existing trim. NT builds these units locally, which shortened our lead time and made the oversized orders easier to dial in.

• NT Executive vinyl frames, white in and out
• Standard units up to 132 united inches
• Oversized units over 132 united inches ordered separately
• Field-mulled units for wide multi-pane openings

How did the installation go?

The crew worked the job over two days, May 20 and 21, 2026. Swapping 32 openings across a full home takes real sequencing, so we moved room by room to keep the house sealed as we went.

• On-site install: May 20 → May 21, 2026
• Field mulling done on wider openings during install
• Installation supplies and dump fee handled by our crew
• Old units hauled off the same visit

What were the results?

The home feels tighter and quieter, and the new glass cuts the afternoon heat load that the old windows let through. White frames give the interior a fresh, updated look without changing the exterior character of the street. See our full windows service for more on what we install across Central Texas.

• All 32 openings replaced and sealed
• Better temperature control through summer highs
• Reduced outside noise from the street
