What's in the glass
Energy-efficient windows: read the label, not the brochure.
Every window we sell carries an NFRC label. Two numbers on it matter most in North Texas.
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)
How much of the sun's heat gets through the glass. Lower is better in a hot climate, especially on west- and south-facing walls.
U-factor
How well the whole window holds back heat flowing through it. Lower means better insulation.
Low-E coating
A microscopically thin layer on the glass that reflects heat while letting daylight through, and cuts the UV that fades floors and furniture.
Argon fill and warm-edge spacers
A dense, clear gas between the panes slows heat transfer, and insulated spacers reduce condensation at the edges.
An honest answer
What new windows will and won't do.
They will
- Cut drafts and heat at the glass, so rooms near windows feel comfortable
- Make the house noticeably quieter
- Refresh the look of your home inside and out
- Tilt in or lift out for easy cleaning
They won't
- Pay for themselves through energy savings alone in a few years. The payback is long.
- Fix a hot house if the attic is under-insulated. Start there.
- Earn a federal tax credit. The 25C credit ended for installs after December 31, 2025.
Two ways to install
Pocket (retrofit) or full-frame window replacement?
There are two ways to put a new window in an old opening. Which one fits your home depends on the condition of your existing frames, your trim, your budget and your timeline. We check every opening and recommend one before you buy.
OPTION 1
Pocket (retrofit) installation
Also called a retrofit or insert installation. We remove the old sashes and jamb liners but leave the existing frame in the wall. A complete new window, built to fit inside that frame, is set into the opening and fastened to the old side jambs.
BEST WHEN
Your existing frames are solid and square, you want to keep the interior trim, or speed and budget come first.
Advantages
- Faster, and usually the lower-cost option
- Interior trim stays exactly as it is
- Less disruption inside your home
Trade-offs
- Slightly less glass, since the new frame sits inside the old one
- No look inside the wall for rot, water damage or missing insulation
- Worn old trim can look tired next to a new window
OPTION 2
Full-frame installation
We remove the entire window, frame and all, down to the rough opening in the wall. That lets us inspect, repair and insulate before a new window that fills the full opening goes in.
BEST WHEN
Frames are rotted, warped or leaking, you suspect damage in the wall, or you want the most glass, light and view.
Advantages
- We can find and fix rot, water damage, mold or insect damage
- Room to add or improve insulation and reinforce the framing
- Full-size glass keeps the original light, view and look
- Trim can be updated at the same time
Trade-offs
- Costs more in labor and materials
- Takes longer, with more noise and disruption
| AT A GLANCE | POCKET (RETROFIT) | FULL-FRAME |
|---|---|---|
| Existing frame | Stays in the wall | Removed to the rough opening |
| Inspect inside the wall | No | Yes, with repairs as needed |
| Glass area | A little smaller than before | Same as the original |
| Interior trim | Kept as is | Can be replaced or updated |
| Cost and time | Lower, faster | Higher, longer |
Not sure which you need?
You don't have to decide on your own. When we measure, we check each frame for rot, water damage and movement. If pocket installs will serve you well, we'll say so. If we recommend full-frame for some openings, we'll show you why. Many homes end up with a mix.
How we install
Window installation, from first measurement to final walk-through.
You'll know the price and the product before anything is ordered, and we schedule your install as your custom windows near completion.
Measure
We measure every opening, check the frames and surrounding wall, and recommend pocket or full-frame installation for each.
Order
Your windows are built to size. We place the order after your three-day right to cancel has passed, then schedule your install date as the build nears completion.
Install
Old units out, new units in, insulated, sealed and trimmed. Pocket installs go quickest; full-frame openings take longer.
Walk-through
We open and lock every window with you, clean up, and register your warranty.
Questions
Window replacement FAQ
What's the difference between the 5000 and 8000 Series?
The frame. The Genview 5000 Series is a premium, hail-resistant vinyl with a 3 1/4" frame and triple-layer Low-E glass. The 8000 Series is thick-wall aluminum with a polyurethane thermal break and a powder-coat finish, available in darker colors like bronze and black. Both come in eight styles with a lifetime limited warranty. Compare them side by side.
Where are your windows made?
Both of our window lines are custom built to size in Dallas, including the insulated glass units, for the North Texas climate.
How long does it take from order to install?
Custom windows usually take a few weeks to build. We schedule your install date when your windows are nearing completion, so the date we give you is one we can keep.
Who does the installation?
Experienced local crews we vet for licensing, insurance and workmanship. Genview plans and manages every job and stands behind the work with a [X]-year workmanship warranty.
Can I replace just a few windows?
Yes. Many homeowners start with the west- and south-facing windows that take the most sun.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. See Financing.
How much do replacement windows cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?
It depends on the size, style, frame and how they're installed. As a broad market range, installed replacement windows commonly run from a few hundred dollars to $1,500 or more each, and whole-house projects from the thousands into the low tens of thousands. We give you a written price after measuring. Read what replacement windows cost in DFW.
Will new windows lower my energy bill?
Somewhat, especially if you're replacing single-pane or clear glass on sunny walls. But in many DFW homes the attic is the bigger source of heat, so windows are usually more about comfort, quiet and curb appeal than a big drop in the bill. See will new windows lower my energy bill?
What window ratings matter most in Texas?
Look at the NFRC label. In North Texas, a low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), around 0.23 or lower, matters most because it blocks the sun's heat. A U-factor around 0.30 or lower helps too. Learn how to read a window label.
Why are my windows foggy between the panes?
Fog you can't wipe away means the seal on that insulated glass has failed and moisture has gotten inside. The fix is new glass or a new window, depending on the frame. Read why windows fog between the panes.
Are solar screens a good alternative to new windows?
Solar screens are a lower-cost way to cut heat on west- and south-facing windows, with the trade-off of a darker view and less daylight. They don't fix drafts or failed seals the way new windows do. Compare them in do solar screens work in Texas?
