Statewide Remodeling installs vinyl replacement windows in Houston, TX in double-hung, single-hung, casement, picture, slider, bay, bow, awning, and garden configurations. All windows are manufactured in the USA, carry ENERGY STAR certification, and are backed by a lifetime warranty on installation labor. We have served Houston homeowners since 1994 and have completed more than 80,000 home remodeling projects across Texas.
Houston's climate creates specific demands for replacement windows. Long summers with sustained heat and humidity accelerate the seal failure on older double-pane units, which causes the insulating gas fill to escape and results in condensation between panes. Direct sun exposure for most of the year increases solar heat gain through south- and west-facing windows. The vinyl windows we install include low-E glass coatings and argon gas fill that address both failure modes. The low-E coating reflects infrared heat before it passes through the glass, and the argon fill maintains thermal resistance even as outdoor temperatures climb past 100 degrees.
Replacement Window Styles Available in Houston
All Statewide windows use vinyl frames with multiple internal chambers that trap air and reduce heat transfer through the frame itself. Frames are fusion-welded at the corners, which eliminates the seam gaps that allow air and water infiltration in mechanically joined frames. Expertly isntalled weatherstripping seals the sash to the frame on all sides. The glass units use double-pane construction with argon gas fill and low-E coating as standard. Custom configurations and upgraded glass packages are available.
Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows have two operable sashes, in which both the top sash and the bottom sash slide vertically. This allows you to open the window from the top for high ventilation or from the bottom for standard airflow. Both sashes tilt inward for cleaning from inside the home, which is a practical advantage for second-story installations. Double-hung is the most common window style in Houston homes and fits most standard openings without modification.
Casement Windows
Casement windows hinge on one side and swing outward with a crank mechanism. Because the entire sash opens, casement windows provide maximum airflow relative to their frame size. When closed, the sash compresses against the frame seal on all four sides, which makes casement windows among the most airtight configurations available. They work well in locations where reaching across a counter or cabinet to operate a sliding window is impractical.
Single-Hung Windows
Single-hung windows have a fixed top sash and a bottom sash that slides vertically. They operate and look like double-hung windows from the exterior but cost less because only one sash requires the balance mechanism and hardware. Single-hung windows are a cost-effective option for installations where interior cleaning access from the lower sash is sufficient.
Slider Windows
Slider windows operate on a horizontal track, with one sash fixed and one sash sliding left or right. They work well in openings that are wider than they are tall and in locations where an outward-swinging sash would create a clearance issue. Sliders are commonly used in bedrooms and living areas with horizontal framing.
Bay and Bow Windows
Bay windows project outward from the wall plane at an angle, typically using a center picture window flanked by two operable side windows at 30 or 45 degrees. Bow windows project outward in a gentle curve using four or more equally sized window units. Both styles increase interior square footage at the window seat or sill and admit significantly more light than a flat window in the same opening.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and swing outward from the bottom with a crank mechanism. The open sash acts as an overhang that sheds rain, so the window can stay open during light precipitation without letting water in. Awning windows are also a practical choice for tight wall sections where a wider operating sash would not clear surrounding trim or cabinetry.
Picture Windows
Picture windows are fixed, meaning they do not open or operate in any way. The entire frame area is glass, which maximizes light transmission and provides unobstructed views. Because there is no operable sash, there are no weatherstripping seams or moving hardware, which makes picture windows among the most airtight and lowest-maintenance configurations available.
Garden Windows
Garden windows project outward from the wall like a small box, with a fixed glass top and operable glass sides. The interior shelf is exposed to direct sunlight from multiple angles, which makes them a practical choice for growing herbs or houseplants. Garden windows are most commonly installed in kitchen sinks or breakfast areas.
Energy-Efficient Windows for Houston Homes
All Statewide replacement windows carry ENERGY STAR certification for the Southern climate zone, which is the designation that covers Houston's heat-dominant load profile. The energy-efficient window specs include:
- Low-E glass coating on the inner pane surface that reflects infrared heat back toward the exterior, reducing solar heat gain through the glass
- Argon gas fill between panes, which conducts heat roughly 34% less efficiently than air and maintains thermal performance when outdoor temperatures are extreme
- Vinyl multi-chamber frames that do not conduct heat or cold the way aluminum frames do
- Fusion-welded frame corners that eliminate the gaps that form at mechanical joints over time
- UV-blocking glass film that reduces fading of interior furnishings without reducing visible light transmission
The Department of Energy estimates that heat gained or lost through windows accounts for 25 to 30% of residential cooling and heating use. Replacing single-pane windows with ENERGY STAR-rated double-pane units can reduce that load a lot, with the specific savings depending on the number of windows replaced and the existing insulation of the home.
Window Installation in Houston, TX
Statewide performs window installation in Houston using factory-certified installers. Each installation begins with an in-home measurement visit where we take precise measurements of the existing opening to ensure the replacement window fits without leaving gaps in the frame. Projects are typically scheduled over one to two days depending on the number of units.
We remove the existing window, prep the rough opening, install the new window unit, apply exterior and interior trim, and seal all edges. We leave the work area clean and walk you through the finished installation before leaving. All labor is covered by a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does window replacement cost in Houston, TX?
Window replacement cost in Houston depends on the window style, frame size, glass package, and number of units being replaced. Single windows typically cost less per unit than multi-window projects, and specialty shapes like bay or bow windows carry higher installation costs due to structural requirements. Statewide provides a written, itemized quote at no charge after an in-home measurement. There is no obligation to proceed.
How long does window installation take?
A single window replacement is typically completed in a few hours. A full-home replacement of 10 to 20 windows is generally scheduled over one to two days. We provide a firm installation date and time window at the time of your estimate so you can plan accordingly.
What is the difference between vinyl and aluminum replacement windows?
Vinyl frames have multiple hollow chambers that trap air and act as insulation. Aluminum frames conduct heat readily, which means they transfer outdoor temperatures into the home more easily than vinyl. In Houston's climate, where exterior temperatures exceed 100 degrees for extended periods, the thermal performance difference between vinyl and aluminum is measurable in cooling costs. Vinyl also does not rust or require painting, which reduces long-term maintenance.
What does ENERGY STAR certified mean for windows in Houston?
ENERGY STAR certifies windows by climate zone. The Southern zone, which includes Houston, has specific U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) thresholds that reflect the heat-dominant climate. A window certified for the Southern zone is optimized to limit solar heat gain in summer, which is the primary driver of cooling costs in Houston. Not all ENERGY STAR windows are certified for all zones! Ssk for Southern zone certification specifically when buying new windows.
Are your replacement windows made in the USA?
Yes. All Statewide replacement windows are manufactured in the United States.
What warranty do your Houston windows come with?
Statewide provides a lifetime warranty on installation labor. The glass units carry the manufacturer's warranty, which covers defects including seal failure and glass breakage under normal use. Ask for the specific warranty terms for your window product during the in-home estimate.
