Most jobs are done in a single day per window, and we always hand you a written price before any work starts.

Why Westlight Windows Austin Is Bastrop’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’ve been cutting our teeth on Bastrop’s window problems since 2009, and the patterns here are different than anywhere around. The Rivercrest and Tahitian Village homes near the water show seal failures we don’t see in Elgin or Smithville. The newer builders’ subdivisions – Riverside Grove, The Colony, Hunter’s Crossing – have their own quirks with builder-grade vinyl that warps under a Texas sun that doesn’t quit. Homeowners call us because we show up in the appointment window we give, and because the price we quote is the price that stays.
Our crews live and work in the Bastrop area, so when a homeowner on Lovers Lane or a rancher off FM 969 calls about a fogged pane, we know what they’re dealing with before we pull up. We schedule from our Austin office and dispatch locally, which means fast service without the long drive time you’d get from a Dallas or Houston outfit. Read our reviews and you’ll see the same thing repeated: they answered the phone, they showed up, and the windows work. That’s the bar.
Window Replacement Company in Bastrop
As a Window Replacement Company serving Bastrop, we handle everything from a single failed sash in a downtown storefront conversion to a whole-home replacement in a 2,800-square-foot tract house off of Texas 71. Full frame replacement runs $1,400 – $2,600 per window in Bastrop’s market, driven by the age of the opening and whether we’re pulling rotted jambs. Insert replacement, where we keep your existing frame and swap the sash and glass, lands between $900 and $1,400 per window and is a solid choice for post-2000 homes with square, undamaged openings.
Full Frame Replacement
When the frame itself is rotted, racked, or leaking, we pull the entire unit down to the studs and rebuild. In Bastrop’s older ranch homes along the Colorado River, we frequently find hidden jamb rot that only shows itself once the old aluminum window comes out. Full frame work is the reset that gets you a clean, plumb, properly flashed opening.
Insert Window Replacement
If your openings are square and the frames are sound, inserts are the lower-cost path that still gives you new, energy-efficient glass. We use the same manufacturers either way, so you’re not downgrading quality – you’re just paying for less demolition. For many Riverside Grove or The Colony homes, this is the right first upgrade.
Window Glass Replacement in Bastrop
Window Glass Replacement in Bastrop usually means a failed insulated glass unit – the two panes with gas between them – that has fogged or lost its seal. Replacing just the glass, not the whole window, runs $250 – $550 per pane depending on size, low-e coating, and whether it’s impact-rated. We see a lot of this in newer subdivisions where builder-grade units give out after eight or ten years. If the frame is good and the sash is solid, glass-only replacement is the cheapest way to clear the view and stop the heat bleed.
Insulated Glass Unit Replacement
Most fogged windows in Bastrop are failed IGUs, and the fix is swapping the sealed unit, not the whole window. The failure usually starts on west- and south-facing walls where the UV load is heaviest. A new low-e IGU (a thin coating that reflects heat back into the room in winter and out in summer) buys you clear glass and real energy savings without a full-frame project.
Glass Upgrade to Low-E or Impact-Rated
Some homeowners use a glass replacement as a chance to upgrade: pulling standard clear panes and dropping in low-e or impact-rated glass. If you’re in a wildfire-prone area east of the city or off of Highway 71 near the river’s reflected heat, this is the time to make that switch for maybe $200 – $400 more per window than standard glass replacement.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bastrop
We carry PGT, CGI, and ViewLux among our eight manufacturer lines, and because we stock local parts in Bastrop, we’re not waiting on a shipment from Houston when your window fails in July. PGT’s impact-rated double-hungs have become a workhorse for us in waterfront and wildfire-adjacent neighborhoods. CGI’s laminated glass gives us a large-missile rating that holds up to hail and wind-blown debris. ViewLux is our go-to for homeowners who want a slimmer frame with modern thermal numbers. The right product matched to the job, not the other way around.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Bastrop Homes
- Builder-grade vinyl seal failures in post-2000 tract homes. The subdivisions east of SH 95 grew fast, and many of those original vinyl units start fogging and warping at the eight-year mark under Central Texas heat. We replace the glass or the sash before the frame gives out.
- Reflected river heat along Highway 71. West-facing windows near the Colorado River catch glare off the water all afternoon, and we replace more blown seals in that stretch than anywhere else in the county. Impact-rated low-e glass solves it.
- Single-pane aluminum condensation and rot in 1970s – 80s ranch homes. The older river homes sweat badly in winter cold snaps, and condensation drips rot the wood jambs from the inside out. Full frame replacement with a modern thermal break is usually the only real fix.
- HOA architectural restrictions in newer subdivisions. The Colony, Riverside Grove, and Hunter’s Crossing all have covenants that govern window styles and finishes. We’ve done enough work in each to know which modifications trigger a review and which won’t.

FAQs About Window Replacement in Bastrop
Most Bastrop HOAs – The Colony, Riverside Grove, Hunter’s Crossing – require architectural review only when you change the visible exterior of the window, like frame color, grid pattern, or style from double-hung to casement. Replacing windows with the same style and color usually doesn’t trigger a review. We keep the original jambs intact on insert replacements in HOA subdivisions specifically to avoid that committee process. Call (254) 322-3468 and we’ll tell you what your covenant actually says before you spend a dollar.
Yes, replacing windows does not void the structural warranty on a newer Bastrop home – the builder warranty covers framing, foundation, and systems, not the glass units themselves. Most builder-grade vinyl windows only carry a five to ten year prorated warranty anyway, and the manufacturer handles that, not the builder. We document every installation with photos and written specs so if a builder ever questions workmanship on openings we didn’t touch, you have the file. For an exact answer on your specific warranty, call (254) 322-3468 and we’ll help you read the fine print.
Impact-rated low-e insulated glass is the best choice for Bastrop, especially west-facing walls along Highway 71 near the Colorado River where reflected heat accelerates seal failure. Low-e glass reflects solar heat back out in summer and back in during winter, while the impact-rated laminated glass (the kind PGT and CGI make) holds up to hail, debris, and the occasional wildfire ember. In the river corridor, we recommend large-missile-rated units. Call (254) 322-3468 for a recommendation based on your home’s exact exposure.
Impact windows have nothing to do with flooding – they’re engineered to resist wind-blown debris, hail, and forced entry, and Bastrop’s tornado and hail exposure makes them worth considering regardless of flood zone. Locations east of SH 95 and near the river corridor catch more hail and debris than the rest of the county, and Texas windstorm requirements can apply to new construction depending on your exact location. We’ll tell you straight whether impact-rated glass is worth the added cost in your neighborhood. Call (254) 322-3468 for a no-pressure answer.
Homeowners in Bastrop who swap single-pane aluminum or failed builder-grade vinyl for modern low-e double-pane windows typically see a 15 – 25% reduction in cooling demand during the May-to-September stretch, which on a mid-size tract home in Riverside Grove can mean $30 – $70 a month off the electric bill in peak summer. The payoff is faster on west-facing walls near the river and slower on shaded lots in older east-side neighborhoods. Call (254) 322-3468 for a walkthrough of your home’s exposure and a straight answer on what’s worth replacing first.
