Windows in Wildwood, Round Rock, TX

Why did this Wildwood home need new windows?

The existing windows had aged past their useful life, which is common for the older homes across Wildwood. Drafty frames and worn seals let Central Texas heat push right into the living space.

• Homeowner found us through an internet search and reached out March 4, 2026
• Homeowner wanted a cleaner, modern exterior look
• Some openings ran over 120 united inches — larger than standard stock
• Black interior finish was requested to match the design vision

Why did we go with NT Twinsulator aluminum?

Aluminum gets a bad rap for older, drafty designs, but the windows we chose here are a different animal. The NT Twinsulator line uses a thermally broken frame, which stops heat from riding straight through the metal into the house. That matters a lot in Round Rock, where summer days sit above 100° for weeks at a time. Aluminum also holds its shape under that constant heat load better than many alternatives, so the frames stay square and the seals keep sealing. For a homeowner who wanted crisp black lines and long-term strength, it was the right call over a softer material.

• Thermally broken frames cut heat transfer
• Strong enough to span the home's oversized openings
• Black exterior and black interior finish, factory-applied
• Built to shrug off cedar pollen buildup and seasonal grime

What did the installation involve?

We handled the whole job once the units arrived, tackling both standard and oversized openings. Framing and trim labor made up a real chunk of the work here, since the larger windows needed proper support.

• Installed aluminum units up to 120 united inches
• Installed larger aluminum units over 120 united inches
• Set new interior sills up to 96 inches (no interior paint in scope)
• Fresh framing materials and trim where openings needed it
• Full cleanup with dump and delivery fees covered in scope

What did the crew find on site?

Once we pulled the old units, the crew took a close look at each opening before setting anything new. A few of the larger spans needed extra framing attention to carry the weight and keep everything plumb. That is where a lot of DIY and budget installs go wrong — people slide a new window into an out-of-square opening and wonder why it leaks air a year later. We reframed and squared each opening first, then set the window, then trimmed it out clean. The interior sills up to 96 inches got fresh material so the finished look matched the new black frames instead of clashing with old wood.

What were the results?

The home now has uniform black windows inside and out, with tighter frames ready for the next Texas summer. The oversized openings look intentional and finished rather than patched.

• Consistent black-on-black appearance across every opening
• Better sealing against heat and airborne cedar pollen
• Modernized curb appeal for the Wildwood street
