New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Westlight 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.

Window Company in Austin, TX
Westlight Windows & Doors is Austin’s window and door contractor for homes built from the 1970s through today’s infill construction. We replace and install windows and doors across the city, and the work here is unlike most other Texas markets: intense UV, hot-humid summers, and a housing stock that swings from original single-pane aluminum to modern energy-code builds, often on the same street. Every job starts with a written price before any work begins. Call (254) 322-3468 and a real person answers, day or night.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
Austin’s growth over the last two decades created an unusual mix for a window company. Drive through Allandale or Crestview and you’ll pass 1970s ranch homes with original aluminum sliders, then turn a corner into new infill with floor-to-ceiling glass packages. Technicians here need to be fluent in both worlds: pulling tired single-pane units from a 1983 frame one morning, then setting a low-e, tempered, code-driven package in a new build the next afternoon.
The climate is the other constant. Austin summers sit in the high 90s for weeks, and the humidity works on seals and weatherstripping year-round. We regularly replace windows in Austin where the seal has failed and the glass has fogged from thermal cycling, or where the afternoon sun has baked the frame to the point it will not lock squarely. UV exposure is real: south-facing and west-facing windows fade floors and cook rooms, which is why so many Austin homeowners ask for low-e glass (a thin coating that reflects heat back out in summer and back in during winter).
Permit realities vary by neighborhood and scope. Replacing a window with the same size opening is usually a straightforward building-permit process through the City of Austin, but certain historic districts like Hyde Park and parts of East Austin trigger additional design review. We handle the paperwork and pull permits on jobs that require them, so the homeowner is never guessing at what the city needs.
Our Main Austin Services
Most Austin homeowners call us for one of three things: replacing failed or leaking windows, installing new windows in a build or addition, or setting a new entry or patio door. Each service has its own dedicated Austin page with specifics, pricing breakdowns, and FAQs.
Window Replacement in Austin
Austin’s 1970s-2000s housing stock is full of original aluminum-frame windows that have outlived their seals. In a replacement, we remove the old unit down to the rough opening, correct any rot or settling we find, install the new window, and re-trim the exterior. The big local variable is thermal stress: older frames warp over years of Austin heat, and a straight swap often requires reframing a slightly out-of-square opening. See the full breakdown at Window Replacement in Austin.
Window Installation in Austin
New construction, additions, and whole-home remodels all need windows set into fresh openings. In Austin, that frequently means oversized glass packages on modern homes, which brings its own framing and flashing rules. We install eight manufacturer lines, so the right glass gets matched to the orientation and code requirements rather than the other way around. Details on energy ratings, permit handling, and typical timelines are on the Window Installation in Austin page.
Door Installation in Austin
Front doors take a beating in Austin: the western sun hitting a sealed, painted door at 5 p.m. in August is a warping machine. We set and weatherproof entry doors, patio doors, and sliding doors with an emphasis on the sill, the seal, and the latch. We carry Therma-Tru and ViewLux, among others, so the look and the material match the house, not a sales target. The full scope and price ranges live on Door Installation in Austin.

Pricing for Window Company in Austin, TX
| Service | Typical range in Austin |
|---|---|
| Single-window replacement (installed) | $300 – $700 |
| Full-home window replacement (10 – 20 windows) | $3,000 – $14,000 |
| Window installation in a new opening (per window) | $400 – $900 |
| Door installation (entry door, standard) | $450 – $1,600 |

| Impact-rated window (per unit) | $700 – $1,400 |
| Low-e / energy-efficient window upgrade (per unit) | $350 – $800 |
In Austin, the largest pricing drivers are glass package (low-e and impact ratings add materially), frame material, and the condition of the existing opening. An older aluminum-frame house with rot behind the sill will run higher because the rough opening needs repair before the new unit goes in. Whatever the number, you get it in writing before we start, and that written price does not change at the door.

What Austin Customers Say
"Two bedroom windows that never opened and one that wouldn't stay up. All replaced in an afternoon. The crew was clean, hauled off the old frames, and the quote held."
- Colette Rhee"Our energy bill in summer was brutal. New windows made a real dent in it. Salesman wasn't pushy and didn't do the fake "today only" discount thing the others tried."
- Bethany Oh"Windows are great and the install was solid. One of the installers was quieter and didn't explain much, but the lead walked me through everything at the end and made sure I was happy."
- Lamar Jennings
