AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Boerne
Window and door work in Boerne isn’t the same job it is 30 miles southeast. The limestone ridges, the Cibolo Creek watershed, and the hail that rolls through the Hill Country every spring all put real demands on exterior openings. We’ve pulled permits for window and door replacements in 78006 and 78015 long enough to know what the Kendall County inspector will check, what the wind-load ratings actually mean up here, and which flashing details fail first. Call Tom Barrett’s crew at (877) 610-1318 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a voicemail tree.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boerne’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Tom Barrett has owned and operated Barrett & Sons since 1998, and his sons run the crews that do most of the Windows & Doors work in Boerne. That means the person who prices your impact window package is the same person you’ll see at the hardware store on Saturday. Every job starts with a written scope and a permit pulled, and every price change arrives as a written change order before any work moves. No surprises on the final invoice.
Boerne homeowners tend to ask the same three things: what wind rating does the glass need, will it hold up to hail, and will the flashing actually shed water away from the rough opening. We answer those questions with named products, specific DP ratings, and flashing details the Kendall County inspector can verify in photos. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up. Then look up anyone else you’re considering.
We serve Boerne with crews who know the difference between a Napa Oaks slab-on-grade rough-in and a downtown historic district frame. Same crew, same standard, every visit.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Boerne
Window Installation
New window installation in Boerne starts with the rough opening, not the glass, just as our Boerne Kitchen Remodeling starts with proper structural planning. In the newer subdivisions of 78015, we see builder-grade units with flanges that were never properly backer-rodded and sills pitched flat or inward. We cut out what’s rotted, install new pan flashing, and tie the water-resistive barrier into a continuous drainage plane before the window ever goes in.
Door Installation
Exterior doors in the Hill Country take wind-driven rain off the ridges, not just vertical rainfall. That means the sill pan, the head flashing, and the sealant joints all have to be detailed for water that travels sideways. A door hung with San Antonio flatland details will leak in Boerne. We know the difference, and the inspector can see it in the permit photos.
Window Replacement
Replacing existing windows without changing the rough opening size is the most common job we do in 78006. But even a like-for-like swap needs a permit in Kendall County, and the replacement glass still has to meet the wind-load requirements for the structure’s exposure category. A typical full-home window replacement in Boerne runs $4,500 to $15,000, depending on glass package, frame material, and how many openings you have.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors are a different product category. They’re tested as a complete assembly: glass, frame, hardware, and installation method. In Boerne’s wind-exposure zones, the assembly needs a documented design pressure (DP) rating that matches the elevation and terrain around your home. We order impact glazing with the right DP rating the first time, because ordering it wrong means a failed inspection and a reorder that stalls your project for weeks. Full impact window installation on a Boerne home typically runs $8,000 to $25,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boerne
We don’t install mystery glass off the back of a van. On Boerne jobs you’ll see Andersen and Marvin window packages, and our crews are trained on the specific flashing and fastening schedules those manufacturers require. If a warranty issue comes up, we process it directly with the manufacturer. We keep common parts on hand so a follow-up adjustment doesn’t mean waiting for a shipment. You can look up every brand we install. That’s the point.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Boerne Homes
- Flashing that leaks during side-driven rain. Boerne storms push water sideways off the ridges. Flashing copied from flatland specs keeps water out of vertical rain but fails when the wind travels sideways along the wall. We re-detail the rough opening with proper pan flashing and backer rod, and the photos go into the permit file.
- Impact glass ordered with the wrong DP rating. A window can pass a basic wind test and still fail the uplift requirement for a late-spring microburst in the 78006 historic district. We check the DP rating against the exposure category for your exact address before we order anything.
- Wood-sill rot behind the original flange. In the Esperanza section of 78015 we see builder windows with flanges that never had backer rod and sills that were pitched inward from day one. The rot doesn’t show until the window is pulled, and then the rough-in repair is bigger than the window budget.
- Permit stalls on the Edwards Aquifer BMP paperwork. Out-of-area contractors often assume BMP and impervious cover requirements only apply to new construction. They skip the paperwork on a window and door replacement, and the permit sits in review. We file it right the first time.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Boerne, TX
Here’s what honest window and door work costs in Boerne. These are the ranges we quote, in writing, before any work starts:
| Service | Typical Boerne Price Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
What moves the number: the glass package, the frame material, how many openings, whether the rough-in needs repair, and whether the opening size changes. A full elevation of impact windows on a two-story Napa Oaks home costs more than a like-for-like replacement on a 78006 ranch. You’ll get a written line-item quote, not a phone number and a shrug.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Boerne
Yes. Even a like-for-like replacement in Kendall County requires a permit, and the new glazing must meet the wind-load requirements for your structure’s exposure category. The opening size staying the same doesn’t exempt you from the DP rating and flashing verification the inspector will check. We file the permit and schedule the inspection as part of every window job. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific property needs.
The required design pressure (DP) rating depends on your home’s location, elevation, and exposure category under the current Texas wind-load code. In Boerne, that typically means windows tested as a complete impact-rated assembly, not just tempered glass. We verify the DP rating against your address before ordering. A cheap quote that omits the DP rating won’t pass the Kendall County inspection.
In many cases, yes. Insurers recognize documented impact-rated assemblies, and a permit record with photos showing the full rough-in and flashing detail gives your adjuster a paper trail to review. The premium reduction varies by carrier, but the documentation is what makes the difference. We give you a copy of the permit and inspection sign-off for your insurance file. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what your carrier will want to see.
Boerne sits at roughly 1,400 feet in the Hill Country, and the wind exposure, rainfall patterns, and the Cibolo Creek watershed runoff all put more demand on exterior openings than the San Antonio flatlands, which is why our Driveway & Pavers in Boerne also account for these same drainage and weather conditions. The glass package has to carry a higher DP rating in many Boerne locations, and the flashing and sealant details have to account for side-driven rain off the ridges. A San Antonio-quoted price often omits those upgrades. The Kendall County inspector will catch it.
Not typically. Impact windows are tested as a complete assembly that meets the same wind-borne debris requirements shutters address. Most Boerne homes with properly installed, properly rated impact units don’t need a separate shutter system. The exception is if a specific structure or historic district requirement adds a layer. We’ll tell you plainly which applies to your home. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer.
