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 Lost Creek
Window replacement in Lost Creek runs $700 – $1,900 per window depending on size, glass package, and whether we’re doing a full-frame replacement or an insert. Most Lost Creek jobs we complete in one to two days, though a whole-home replacement with multiple oversized fixed-glass units takes longer. We know these hilltop streets well, the winding drives off Lost Creek Boulevard, the steep lots near Barton Creek, the custom builds from the 1970s and 80s that still have their original aluminum frames. Call (325) 420-1750 for a written quote before any work starts, that’s how every Juniper job runs.
Why Juniper Windows Austin Is Lost Creek’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Lost Creek homeowners keep calling us because we show up when we say we will and the price we quote is the price we bill. Sean Mackey, who leads Juniper Windows Austin, built the team around one habit: written pricing before a single screw turns. That matters on these hillside lots where a 12-foot slider or an irregular fixed-glass opening needs custom work, not a stock-size window pulled off a truck.
We carry eight product lines including PGT, ViewLux, and Therma-Tru, so a Lost Creek home with western Hill Country views gets the right glass, not whatever is left in the warehouse. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and our live phone is answered around the clock. The Relay Visibility Guarantee means you get a live arrival time you can track, before-and-after photos, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers parts and labor in writing for a full year after installation.
We are not a general remodeler dabbling in windows. Window replacement, window installation, and door replacement are what we do. When we open up a 1970s Lost Creek wall, we already know what we’re likely to find, and we planned for it before the job began.
Window Glass Repair in Lost Creek
Window glass repair in Lost Creek often means replacing a failed insulated glass unit, or IGU, in a large fixed picture window or a west-facing patio door. Intense UV and summer heat break down the seals on south- and west-facing glazing faster than almost anywhere else in the Austin area. The glass fogs, the view goes hazy, and the thermal performance drops. On most Lost Creek homes, we can replace just the glass without removing or rebuilding the frame, as long as the frame itself is sound.
Failed Seals and Fogged Glass
When the seal between the panes fails, argon gas escapes and moisture gets in. You see it as a milky film or condensation trapped inside the glass that no amount of wiping removes. We measure and order a custom double-pane IGU, then swap it in place. We won’t sell you a whole new window if a glass-only repair solves the problem.
Heat Stress on Western Exposures
Lost Creek homes built with big glass facing the Hill Country take hundreds of days of direct afternoon sun. That heat cycles the sealant and accelerates failure. We see this routinely on homes off Lost Creek Boulevard and along the ridge lines near the country club. The fix is a low-E IGU sized to the exact daylight opening, a repair that preserves the view without rebuilding the wall.
Window Pane Replacement in Lost Creek
Window pane replacement in Lost Creek usually means a cracked or shattered pane on a single-hung, casement, or picture window, or a broken pane inside a sliding patio door. Hail, a stray golf ball near the course, or just years of thermal stress will do it. We replace the pane, reset the glazing, and check the surrounding frame and weatherstripping while we’re there. A standard pane replacement starts around $180 for a small clear pane and runs up from there for low-E or impact-rated glass.
Cracked Panes and Safety Hazards
A cracked pane in a bathroom or a child’s bedroom cannot wait. We’ll get a measured replacement ordered the same day and often installed within the week, depending on glass availability. For homes with large fixed glass, we bring a glazing team sized for the job, not one tech trying to handle a 6-foot pane solo.
Panel Replacement on Custom Openings
Lost Creek has a lot of custom openings, trapezoids above front doors, wide fixed panels flanking entryways, oversized sliders. Stock glass doesn’t fit these. We template the opening, cut to the exact dimensions, and use the same glass types the original builder should have used: tempered where code requires it, low-E where the sun hits hard.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lost Creek
We install and service windows from PGT, ViewLux, Therma-Tru, CGI, and several other product lines. For Lost Creek specifically, we stock common replacement parts locally: roller assemblies for sliding doors, weatherstripping for aluminum and vinyl frames, and double-strength glass for larger panes. That means a repair on an original 1980s sliding door doesn’t wait three weeks for a part from a distant warehouse. We match new work to existing sightlines and hardware where we can, so the replacement doesn’t look like a patch. Every installation carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Lost Creek Homes
- Failed insulated glass on western and southern exposures. The Hill Country sun is unforgiving. Seals fail, argon leaks, and the glass fogs. We replace the IGU without disturbing the original frame where possible.
- Seized sliders and off-track patio doors. Thermal expansion and foundation settling on these slopes twist tracks and kill rollers. Many owners haven’t opened their main patio door in years. We re-frame and re-hang them with new hardware, and the door glides again.
- Warped aluminum frames and cracked weatherstripping. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter plus triple-digit summers break down old aluminum and rubber. Air leaks drive cooling bills up every August. New frames or inserts seal the opening properly.
- Rot and water intrusion hidden inside the wall. On a steep Lost Creek lot, water flows downhill and finds every gap. When we pull an old window, we often find rotted framing the homeowner never knew was there. We price that discovery in writing before we touch it, never as a surprise add-on.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Lost Creek, TX
A typical insert replacement in Lost Creek runs $700 – $1,200 per opening for a standard double-hung. Full-frame replacement runs $1,100 – $1,900 per window because we’re tearing out to the studs, fixing any rot, and reflashing the opening properly for a hillside lot. Large fixed picture windows with low-E glass run $900 – $2,400 depending on size and whether the glass is tempered or impact-rated. Sliding patio doors run $2,500 – $5,500 installed. The written estimate you get before work starts is the number you pay, no change orders unless you approve them in writing first. Call (325) 420-1750 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Window Replacement in Lost Creek
West-facing sliders in Lost Creek take hours of direct afternoon sun, and the heat expands the aluminum track and frame. The rollers seize, the door starts to bind, and eventually it jumps the track. Foundation settling on sloped lots worsens it. We replace the rollers, straightened or re-framed the track to true, and often install a PGT impact-rated door with low-E glass. Call (325) 420-1750 if your door has been stuck for years, it’s fixable.
Sometimes, and this is what makes Lost Creek homes different. On a 1970s or 80s ridge-top custom build, the original wall around a window may conceal undersized framing, old wiring too close to the opening, or rotted sheathing. A permit inspection can require bringing that up to current code. We always account for this in the written estimate, as a line-item allowance. If the inspector flags something we didn’t anticipate, we price it and get your approval in writing before the work happens. No surprises.
Yes, in most Lost Creek homes we can. If the existing frame is aluminum but still square and sealed, we remove the failed insulated glass unit and install a new one sized to the exact daylight opening. The view stays, the frame stays, and the fog clears. If the frame is warped or leaking, we’ll tell you and show you photos before recommending a full-frame replacement. Estimates are free.
A low-E coated insulated glass unit with a high visible-light transmittance, often a product like ViewLux or PGT’s low-E option, works best. You want the heat rejection without tinting the view into a smoky brown. We install a lot of this on west-facing fixed glass and sliders in Lost Creek. It cuts the solar gain, protects the view, and lowers cooling load in July and August. Call (325) 420-1750 and we’ll spec it for your exact exposure.
Yes, though the cooling savings come mostly from the low-E coating and the tighter seal, not the impact rating itself. An impact-rated window built with low-E glass, like a PGT or CGI unit, rejects more solar heat and leaks less air than a 30-year-old aluminum frame. Homeowners in Lost Creek on the western ridge lines typically notice the difference in rooms that used to bake all afternoon. We can quote both impact and non-impact low-E packages so you see the cost difference in writing.
