Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Richland Hills
Window replacement in Richland Hills typically runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on how many openings you have and whether you’re staying with the same rough opening or enlarging it. Most door installations here land between $4,500-$15,000 for sliding and patio units, and impact-rated window packages start around $8,000 on a mid-century ranch. If you’re in the 76180 and your original single-pane windows are fighting you every time the clay soil shifts, call us at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with a written line-item scope before you commit to anything.
We work in Richland Hills constantly, and we mean that literally. There’s no new-build fill-in work here because there’s no open ground left. Every job we take in this city is a retrofit, and that changes how we quote, how we permit, and how we install. Windows & Doors in Richland Hills means something specific to us: brick ranch homes, out-of-square openings, and a permit queue dominated by remodels. You deserve a contractor who knows that before they knock on your door.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Richland Hills’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’re owner-operated, founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck. His sons run the crews here. When a Richland Hills homeowner calls about a window or door job, the person who shows up to measure is the same person you’ll see again at the hardware store on Rufe Snow Drive, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. That matters in a built-out city like this one, where the houses are old enough to have personalities and the openings don’t always match the spec sheet.
Our Richland Hills customers keep calling us back because we put every scope, every allowance, and every price change in writing before a single nail moves. No surprises at the end. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. When we pull permits on a window enlargement or a new exterior door in Richland Hills, that inspection is your protection. We also back every completed job with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Calls are answered by a live person, day or night. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. And our Windows & Doors team carries background-checked, uniformed crew members who show up on time and clean up after themselves. You can look up Tom’s license number before you sign. He publishes it right on the contract. We think you should.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Richland Hills
Window Replacement
This is the core of what we do in Richland Hills. The vast majority of homes here were built between 1950 and 1975, and most still have their original single-pane aluminum or wood windows. Those units are drafty, fogged, or worse, and the openings they sit in are often a quarter-inch out of square from decades of Blackland Prairie clay movement. We don’t slap a new window into a racked opening and hope for the best. We shim it properly, flash it correctly, and seal it so it stays put through the next drought-and-rain cycle.

Impact Windows & Doors
Richland Hills doesn’t sit on the coast, so you won’t get a hurricane mandate from Tarrant County. But impact-rated glass is still a smart move here for one reason: hail. North Texas storms throw ice, and older single-pane windows don’t hold up. Impact units from PGT or CGI give you laminated glass that resists those hits and cuts outside noise from the rail corridor and Highway 26 traffic. For a mid-century ranch in the 76180, a full impact package usually runs $8,000-$25,000 depending on opening count and glass size.

Door Installation
Exterior door replacement is a different animal in Richland Hills than it is in a new subdivision up the road. Your home’s original front door hasn’t come from a millwork catalog in sixty years, and the jamb is settled. We remove the old unit, evaluate the rough opening, reframe where needed, and install an entry door that actually seals. The same goes for side and garage entry doors. No air leaks, no binding, no door that slams shut on its own because the house has shifted.

Custom Windows & Doors
When you want a window or door that doesn’t exist off the shelf, we build to order. That’s common in Richland Hills, where a 1960s brick ranch might have an odd-sized opening that no modern stock unit matches. We work with Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT on custom orders, and we measure twice before anything gets fabricated. Custom means custom: the frame, the glass package, the hardware, and the flashing all spec’d for your specific opening.

Trusted Brands We Service in Richland Hills
We install and service windows and doors from Simonton, Ply Gem, PGT, and CGI, all of which you can look up yourself before you ever sign a contract. Premium brands, not mystery units off a van. Because we work in Richland Hills so often, we know which of these manufacturers’ lines hold up to Tarrant County’s freeze-thaw cycles and which glass packages make sense for a 1960s-era ranch that’s getting a full window replacement. We stock local parts for these brands and order directly, so you’re not waiting six weeks on a backordered frame that should have arrived in ten days.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Richland Hills Homes
- Racked frames from Blackland Prairie clay movement. The expansive soil under Richland Hills shrinks and swells with boom-and-bust rainfall cycles, and that movement racks door and window frames. Sashes bind, glass cracks, and doors stop latching. Proper shimming and flexible sealant are the only long-term fix.
- Unpermitted additions from the 1980s. Richland Hills has a lot of original permit-free additions because the city was fully built out decades ago and some homeowners cut corners. County code now requires full structural review before new window and door installation can pass inspection. We handle that review and bring the opening up to current standards before we install.
- Undersized attic insulation and single-pane glass. Most Richland Hills homes fall short of current IRC energy requirements. When you replace windows, the county often triggers a whole-opening air-sealing upgrade. That means we seal the gap between the window frame and the rough opening, not just swap the glass and call it done.
- Asbestos-era caulking and original flashing. Houses built in the 1950s through 1970s often have old caulking and flashing materials that modern sealants can’t bond to. We strip it back, inspect the sill pan, and install new flashing so your new window doesn’t leak around the edges the first time it rains.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Richland Hills, TX
Here’s where we can give you real numbers. A typical window replacement in Richland Hills runs $4,500-$15,000, depending on how many windows you’re replacing and whether the openings stay as-is or get enlarged. Impact window installation runs $8,000-$25,000 for a full package on a ranch home, driven by glass size, frame material, and whether we’re reframing openings.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Richland Hills
Yes, in most cases you do. Richland Hills is a fully built-out city, and Tarrant County’s permit queue is dominated by remodels and retrofits, so the city expects permits for window and door replacements even when you’re staying within the existing opening. A same-size swap is simpler, but we still pull the permit and get the inspection signed so your project is on record and your insurance stays valid. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll confirm exactly what your project requires before we quote it.
For a full-house window replacement on a standard 3-bedroom, 2-bath 1960s brick ranch in Richland Hills, expect $4,500-$15,000. That range covers mid-grade vinyl frames with double-pane glass installed to current Tarrant County energy code, including shimming, flashing, and sealing each opening. If we find structural issues from clay movement or an old unpermitted addition, we write those up as a separate change order before we do the work. Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-item quote on your specific home.
No. Richland Hills is not in a hurricane zone, so Tarrant County does not mandate impact-rated windows the way coastal Texas cities do. However, some homeowners here choose impact glass for hail protection and noise reduction, especially near the rail corridor and Highway 26. That’s a personal choice, not a code requirement. We’ll walk you through the cost difference and let you decide.
It’s the biggest variable. The Blackland Prairie clay under Richland Hills expands and contracts with rainfall, and that movement racks door frames over time. We account for it during installation with proper shimming, flexible sealant, and sill pan flashing, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship. If the house shifts after we leave and the door binds, call us. Tom comes back and makes it right because he lives twenty minutes away and wants to know about it. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your specific door project.
Yes, we match it. We source reclaimed brick from local Tarrant County salvage yards and blend it to match the original veneer on 1950s-1970s Richland Hills ranches. It won’t be invisible, but it’ll be close, and we’ll show you samples before we start. We also work with the city to make sure the enlarged opening’s structural work passes inspection before drywall goes up. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re thinking about enlarging a window opening, and we’ll scope it with the brick match included.
