AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Schertz
If your windows are fogging between the panes, sticking in their tracks, or letting in drafts every time the wind picks up off the prairie, you’re dealing with problems we have fixed all over Schertz. Window replacement in Schertz typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full home, with single-unit work priced on the lower end. Impact window installation runs higher, usually $8,000 to $25,000, because it involves structural anchoring and heavier glass packages. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look before you spend a dime.
We spend our days in Schertz subdivisions built between 2000 and today. That means we understand what happens to window frames and door slabs when the Blackland Prairie clay under those post-tension slabs goes through its seasonal shrink and swell. The house may look new. The window may tell a different story. That’s where we start.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Schertz’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Barrett & Sons has been owner-operated since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published. Look them up before you sign anything. You won’t find a franchise number or an out-of-state call center behind the phone. When you call, a live person answers. When you schedule, Tom’s sons and their crew show up in a Barrett & Sons truck. When the job is done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is on the contract, not in the fine print.
Schertz homeowners have called us for everything from a single fogged window near Wiederstein Elementary to an entire impact window package in a newer subdivision off FM 1518. Reviews from Schertz customers mention the same things: the quote on the phone matched the invoice, the crew showed up on time, and when something needed a second look, Tom came back. We don’t post a star rating here because numbers change. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license.
We also understand Schertz’s permitting and inspection environment. Window and door replacements that change openings or add structural headers get permits pulled and inspections signed. The inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Schertz
Window Installation
New window installation in Schertz requires more than level shims and caulk. The clay under your slab doesn’t stop moving after the builder hands you the keys. We set windows with correct flange sealing, proper flashing, and thermal expansion gaps that survive a Texas August. Schertz summers routinely push past 100°F, and flashing details that work in Dallas fail here if they don’t account for the temperature swing. We account for it.
Door Installation
Door frames in Schertz tell you the truth about your foundation. When a door begins to rub against the jamb at the top latch side, the slab under the hinge side has likely settled. We see this constantly in Schertz subdivisions built on expanded clay. Our door installation includes shimming, re-hanging, and frame correction that accounts for what the soil is doing underneath, not just what the hinge screws say today. We install exterior and interior doors, pre-hung units, and slab replacements across 78154.
Window Replacement
Replacing windows in a Schertz home built between 2000 and 2015 often means removing builder-grade aluminum or vinyl units that were never great to begin with, then dealing with whatever movement the slab has caused since. The wet-dry cycles here are aggressive: long summer drought, then heavy fall rain, then repeat. Existing windows show it in the corners. We replace with Andersen and Marvin units, set properly so the new window doesn’t inherit the old one’s stress. Full home window replacement in Schertz runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on count, size, and glass package.
Impact Windows & Doors
Schertz sits inland, but it’s close enough to the Gulf corridor that storm-driven wind and debris are a legitimate concern. Impact windows and doors in Schertz are increasingly common, and the cost is real: $8,000 to $25,000 for a standard single-family package. These are not bolt-on upgrades. Impact-rated glass requires anchoring to the structural frame, proper header support, and installation that passes a building inspection. The permit inspector signs off before the job closes. We also install impact sliding glass doors and hurricane shutters and protection for homeowners who want a layered approach.

Trusted Brands We Service in Schertz
We install and service Andersen and Marvin windows, because those are brands you can look up and verify, not mystery glass off a van. For hardscape work that often goes alongside a window project, like driveway and walkway upgrades, we carry Belgard and Techo-Bloc. When it comes to concrete and masonry work adjacent to windows and exterior doors, we use Quikrete products. We keep common sealants, flashing, and hardware on hand for Schertz jobs, which means faster turnaround when your patio door needs a new roller assembly or your window needs a reglaze. Our full Windows & Doors team handles everything from one window to a whole house.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Schertz Homes
- Foundation-fed frame movement: Schertz sits on expansive Blackland Prairie clay, and many homes built in the 2000s are still settling. Doors stick, windows bind, and caulk lines crack. We correct the frame before we install the new unit.
- Builder-grade window seal failure: Homes built during the 2000s boom often got entry-level vinyl windows. We replace fogged, seal-broken units all over 78154 with properly rated glass for this climate.
- Patio door track damage and draining issues: In newer Schertz subdivisions, original grading sometimes settles toward the foundation, channeling rainwater under the slab and causing heave. Patio door tracks bind and seal. We check drainage as part of any door replacement.
- Thermal stress on exposed west walls: Schertz summer afternoons bake west-facing window and door assemblies. Heat expansion pops caulk and warps frames. We set expansion gaps and flashing to match local conditions.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Schertz, TX
A single basic window replacement in Schertz typically runs $450 to $1,200 installed. A mid-range replacement across five to eight windows runs $4,500 to $10,000. Impact windows and doors are a different tier: $8,000 to $25,000 for a home package, and more if sliding glass doors are included. Sliding and patio door installation in Schertz runs $1,500 to $6,000 depending on size and glass package. Custom windows and doors cost more because they’re fabricated to order. The factors that move the price are window count, glass type, frame material, whether openings require structural header work, and whether the slab movement has altered the rough opening. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. No surprise invoices at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Schertz
We schedule Schertz estimates within a few business days, and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No trip charge inside the county. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll set a time that works for you, not the other way around.
Yes, and those are some of our most frequent jobs. Homes built between 2000 and 2020 in Schertz subdivisions often have builder-grade windows already failing, and many sit on clay that is still settling. We check the slab and frame before installing anything. That is standard for us, not an add-on.
Only if the scope changes, and if it does, you’ll get a written change order before any work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t work that way. The price on your estimate is the price on your invoice unless you ask for something different.
Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed. Schertz enforces building codes, and window openings that change structure require proper permitting. The inspector works for you, not for me. You should want the inspection. We do.
Generally not. Material costs are the same, and we don’t charge extra for coming to Schertz. No trip charge inside the county. A full home window replacement in Schertz runs $4,500 to $15,000, which matches the wider metro market. Impact windows run $8,000 to $25,000. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and remember we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate.
