New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Juniper Windows Austin pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Austin
Window replacement in Austin runs $450 – $1,200 per window for insert installations and $900 – $2,500 per opening for full frame replacement, depending on glass package and framing material. Most Austin homes we quote sit in the $8,000 – $18,000 range for a 12- to 15-window project. We schedule free estimates across Austin within 48 hours, and our crews work from the Austin metro office, so we’re never more than a short drive from Tarrytown, Mueller, or Circle C. Call (325) 420-1750 and we’ll give you a written number before any work starts.
What makes Austin different is the housing mix. We’re not quoting cookie-cutter boxes all day. One morning we’re measuring original single-pane aluminum sliders on a 1980s tract home in Round Rock, and that afternoon we’re pricing impact-rated casements for a glass-heavy modern build off South Lamar. That range keeps us sharp. And it means our written estimate reflects your actual house, your actual rough openings, not a national average.
Our window replacement crews know the Austin heat the way you do. They know a west-facing bedroom in Allandale bakes by 3pm. They know that cheap vinyl warps. They know that seal failure shows up faster here than almost anywhere. That’s why we spec Low-E coatings and tight U-factor ratings as the baseline, not the upgrade.
Why Juniper Windows Austin Is Austin’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2001. Our Austin location focuses on windows and doors only. No roofing side gigs. No kitchen remodels. Just window replacement and installation, done with a written price and the 365-Day Done Right Promise behind it.
Sean Mackey leads the Austin operation. He’s built the crew around one standard: if the number on the quote isn’t the number on the invoice, something’s wrong. So every Austin job gets a locked, line-item price in writing before a single screw turns. No “we’ll see once we open the wall.” No “that’s extra.” The price holds.
Homeowners around Central Austin regularly tell us the same thing: they called three contractors, got one vague range, one no-show, and one number that changed at the door. We’re the fourth call. And we answer live, 24/7, with a real person, no callback queue. That’s the Relay Standard, and it’s how every Austin job runs.
We also run the Relay Visibility Guarantee on every appointment. You book in a tap, you get a live arrival time you can track, and you get before-and-after photos of the actual work. You never wonder if the crew showed up or what they did. You see it.
Window Glass Repair in Austin
Window glass repair in Austin typically runs $180 – $400 per pane, and it’s the most common fix we do after hail season or a hot summer causes a stress crack. If you’ve got a fogged double-pane unit, that’s a failed seal, and you’re looking at $350 – $750 to replace the insulated glass unit in Austin. Anything with impact-rated or oversized glass runs higher, and we’ll tell you the exact number before ordering.
Austin’s UV load is brutal on seals. We regularly see double-pane units fog over within 8 to 10 years of install, especially on south- and west-facing elevations. When the seal goes, the argon or krypton gas leaks out and the window loses most of its insulating value. That fog isn’t just cosmetic: it’s dead insulation.
Fogged Glass vs. Cracked Glass
A crack means safety first. We can often stabilize the pane same-day and replace the glass within a week if it’s not a stock size. A fogged unit is a slower burn; no one’s getting hurt, but you’re paying more to cool the house every month. We’ll scope the difference honestly and tell you whether a full replacement makes better sense than a glass-only repair.
Glass Repair on Acreage Properties
Out on unincorporated Austin acreage, access changes the job. Long limestone driveways mean our crews pack glass in shock-absorbing racks, not loose in the truck bed. One rutted stretch can crack a brand-new insulated unit. We also flag any existing wellheads or septic lines near the window path before we set ladders or staging.
Window Pane Replacement in Austin
Window pane replacement in Austin costs $150 – $350 for a single pane in a standard double-hung, and $250 – $600 if you’re replacing both panes with a full sash reglaze. Where Austin homeowners get tripped up is assuming “pane” always means “cheap.” It doesn’t. If the pane is Low-E, tempered, or oversized, the glass gets more expensive fast.
The older Austin housing stock makes pane replacement trickier than it sounds. A 1970s single-pane aluminum frame isn’t built to hold a thick modern insulated unit. Sometimes we’re not replacing the pane so much as replacing the glass and reworking the glazing channel so it seats properly. That’s real labor, and we price it as real labor, not a “$99 window” gimmick.
When a Pane Is Beyond Saving
If the frame is pitted, the balance is shot, or the sash has twisted, a pane swap won’t fix anything. We’ll say so on the first visit. In Austin, the sun cooks aluminum frames until they bow and lose their grip on the glass. At that point, an insert or full-frame window replacement is the honest call, and we’ll quote both so you can decide.
Pane Replacement in Detached Shops and ADUs
Detached shops and ADUs around Austin usually lack central AC. The pane matters more there. We recommend Low-E tempered glass for any outbuilding window that faces direct afternoon sun. It keeps the shop from turning into a kiln, and it meets code for windows near doors and work areas.
Trusted Brands We Service in Austin
We service and install from eight product lines, and for Austin window replacement, we lean on PGT, ViewLux, and CGI most often. PGT’s impact-rated glass is the go-to for hail and storm exposure. ViewLux gives us narrow sightlines for modern builds where the frame should disappear. CGI holds up in full sun without the color fading. Because we stock these brands locally for Austin customers, lead times stay short, and parts show up without a two-week wait from a distant warehouse.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Austin Homes
- Seal failure from UV exposure. Austin’s summer sun destroys window seals faster than most cities. We replace more fogged double-pane units here in a single summer than some contractors see all year.
- Warped vinyl frames on west-facing walls. The 4pm sun is relentless. Cheap vinyl frames bow and twist, making sashes stick. If you’re on a west-facing wall in Buda or south Austin, we spec reinforced frames or fiberglass composites.
- Rough opening mismatch on 1980s tract homes. Austin’s 1980s suburban housing stock has non-standard rough openings. Ordering a standard sash size from a big-box store means a two-week re-lead time. We measure every opening before we order, not after.
- Septic and well setbacks on acreage. On unincorporated lots in Travis or Williamson County, we check where the septic drain field and wellhead sit before we plan window replacement paths or staging. Those setbacks change where we can park a truck or set a ladder.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Austin, TX
You’ll pay $450 – $800 for a standard insert replacement window in Austin, $700 – $1,200 for a premium insert with Low-E and impact-rated glass, and $900 – $1,500 for a full frame replacement on a standard double-hung. Larger openings, like a picture window or a sliding glass door conversion, run $1,500 – $3,000 and up. Full house projects in Austin typically land between $8,000 and $18,000, with $12,000 as a realistic midpoint for a 1970s-90s ranch with 14 openings.
Acreage jobs add haul costs. Long gravel drives, narrow gates, and no turnaround space mean more time on access and more care with materials. We’ll show you the haul line item on the quote, not bury it in “miscellaneous.” Call (325) 420-1750 for a free estimate with a written, line-item price before any work starts.

FAQs About Window Replacement in Austin
Yes, in most cases you’ll need a county-level permit for window replacement on unincorporated acreage, and the review timeline runs slower than Austin’s city permits. Travis and Williamson County both require setback checks and structural review for full-frame replacements, especially when the opening size changes. We pull the permits for you and line up the inspections, so the timeline is on our back, not yours. Call (325) 420-1750 and we’ll walk you through what your specific parcel needs.
No, new windows themselves won’t fail your septic inspection, but the work around them can. If we’re replacing windows near a septic drain field, we keep staging and equipment off the field lines and avoid disturbing the soil where the system is permitted. On a full-frame replacement we also make sure the new opening doesn’t shift egress paths or encroach on setback requirements. We flag all of that before we quote, so there’s no surprise on inspection day. Exact pricing depends on your parcel, and estimates are free.
The best window for a detached shop or ADU without central AC in Austin is a Low-E tempered double-pane unit with a tight U-factor, and if you’re going bigger, a multi-slide door that opens the whole wall. Low-E cuts the direct sun that turns a shop into an oven by 3pm, and tempered glass meets code for windows near doors and work surfaces. We install a lot of ViewLux and PGT units in Austin ADUs precisely because they hold up to full sun without frame warping. Call (325) 420-1750 for a quote on your outbuilding.
Long material hauls add cost in two ways: fuel and road time for the crew, and the risk of damage to glass over rough terrain. We use shock-absorbing racks on every Austin acreage job, and we factor the haul time into the line-item labor cost. A project off a rutted gravel drive in Travis County will run slightly higher than the same job on a paved street in Central Austin, and we’ll show you exactly what that adds. Call (325) 420-1750 for a written number.
Yes. We’ve seen Austin homeowners cut cooling costs by a third after swapping original single-pane aluminum windows for Low-E insulated units. The original windows on 1980s tract homes lose an enormous amount of conditioned air through the frame and glass, especially on west-facing walls. The savings show up fastest in July and August, when the AC runs hardest. We replaced a dozen aluminum sliders on a 1970s ranch off FM 1826 near Dripping Springs; our crew reused the original jambs to avoid disturbing the septic line, swapped in PGT impact-rated casements with Low-E glass, and cut the homeowner’s cooling bill by a third before the first 100-degree week. Call (325) 420-1750 for a free estimate and we’ll scope your tract home the same way.
