If you live in Wells Branch, your home was almost certainly built between 1985 and 1995. That means your original aluminum windows, builder-grade doors, and the flashing around them are all aging out at roughly the same time. We know these houses. We know what’s behind the drywall, how the clay soil moves under the slab, and how Travis County permitting works for this unincorporated community. That local knowledge changes how we quote, how we schedule, and how we keep the job from turning into a surprise.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Wells Branch’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we work in Wells Branch, someone with the Barrett name is on-site most days. That matters when you’re replacing windows and doors in a house where the original rough openings were framed for 1980s aluminum units and the slab has shifted under the clay.

Wells Branch homeowners call us because we publish our name, our license number, and our address. We answer the phone live, 24/7. And we put every change in writing before it happens. A scope change, an allowance, a price adjustment: it arrives as a written change order. No surprises at the end.

We carry Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT windows and doors, all brands you can look up and verify. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed. And every job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on the contract: if it’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.

Our Windows & Doors Services in Wells Branch

Window Replacement

Window Replacement in Wells Branch typically runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on the number of openings, the material, and whether framing or egress work is needed. Most of the homes here were built with builder-grade aluminum windows that lose their thermal seal after 30 years of 100°F summers. You’ll see fogging between the panes, and your cooling bills climb. We replace them with code-compliant double-pane vinyl or impact-rated units sized correctly for the opening, not just swapped like-for-like.

The permit inspector works for you, not for me. If we open a wall and find rot at the sill from years of clay-driven movement, that gets documented and priced in writing before we cut further. That’s how it should work.

Door Installation

Entry doors, French doors, and interior doors all go through the same Wells Branch-specific issue: slab movement. Expansive clay soils swell in wet seasons and shrink in drought, which racks door frames over time. A door that stuck in July may swing loose by January. We don’t just hang a new door in a racked frame and call it done. We shim, square, and where needed reframe the rough opening so the door actually closes tight.

We install steel, fiberglass, and wood entry doors, and we match the architectural style of Wells Branch’s brick-veneer tract homes along streets off Wells Port Drive and Merrilltown Drive.

Sliding & Patio Doors

Sliding and patio door work in Wells Branch runs $3,000-$10,000. The original sliders in these 1985-1995 homes were often undersized and poorly flashed. Add three decades of clay heave, and you get doors that stick, leak at the corners, or won’t lock. We replace them with modern multi-point locking units that seal against the Central Texas heat and the occasional hard rain that comes off the Blackland Prairie.

Because every street in Wells Branch was platted under the same MUD developer in roughly the same decade, we often find the same failed flashing on five consecutive houses on the same block. That predictability lets us quote accurately and keep materials staged close by.

Impact Windows & Doors

Impact Window Installation in Wells Branch runs $8,000-$25,000. Impact-rated glass is a bigger investment, but for homes along the IH-35 corridor exposed to hail and wind, it’s worth discussing. PGT and CGI both make impact units that meet Texas wind-borne debris codes. We’ll walk you through the cost difference between impact glass and standard low-E, and we’ll put the numbers in writing so you can decide with your eyes open.

We also handle hurricane shutters and protection systems if you’re hardening the whole exterior envelope at once.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wells Branch

We install Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT products because they hold up to Central Texas heat and because parts and warranty support are easy to source. Wells Branch homeowners often ask us to service existing units from these brands as well. We stock common replacement hardware locally, which keeps turnaround tight when you need a broken sash or a failed latch handled without waiting on a distributor. Call (877) 610-1318 and tell us what’s on the sticker of your existing window or door. We’ll tell you what we can do with it.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Wells Branch Homes

• Fogged thermal seals on original aluminum windows. Thirty-plus years of 100°F afternoons break the seal between panes. The glass clouds, the R-value drops, and your HVAC works harder. Replacement is the fix, not reglazing.
• Sticking sashes and racked door frames from slab movement. Wells Branch sits on Blackland Prairie clay. It swells in wet years, shrinks in hot dry stretches, and that motion racks frames. A door that won’t latch often isn’t a hinge problem, it’s a slab problem.
• Water damage at rough openings from original poor flashing. Polybutylene-era penetrations around windows and doors were frequently flashed incorrectly. By the time you see staining on the interior drywall, the sill and king stud may need replacement. A permit-triggered inspection is what surfaces this before it becomes a structural problem.
• Undersized rough openings for modern code compliance. The original window openings in Wells Branch tract homes were framed for thin aluminum units. Today’s egress and energy standards often require a larger rough opening. That means reframing, not just a drop-in swap. We allow for it in writing, up front.
