AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Lakehills
When your window seals fail or a door stops latching right, you don’t want to wait two weeks for a crew that doesn’t know Lakehills from Leon Valley. Barrett & Sons Construction has been replacing and installing windows and doors in the Medina Lake area long enough to know what the limestone, the wind, and the sun do to a house out here. We serve the 78056 zip code directly, and a real person answers when you call (877) 610-1318.
The short answer on cost: window replacement in Lakehills typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full home, while impact window installation ranges $8,000 to $25,000 depending on how many openings and what brand you choose. Door installation for a single exterior door usually falls between $800 and $3,000. We’ll give you a written line-item estimate before any work starts, and every price change arrives as a written change order. No surprises at the end.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lakehills’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. When we say the owner’s name is on the truck, we mean it literally. Lakehills homeowners don’t need a franchise dispatching strangers from three counties away; they need someone who knows that a house on the south side of Medina Lake gets a different sun and wind load than one tucked into a limestone draw off Park Road 37.
We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. That matters here because Bandera County has its own way of doing things, and the last contractor many Lakehills folks used told them permits were optional. They’re not. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. We also carry a 90-Day Done Right Promise written on every contract: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Lakehills
We handle the full range of window and door work for Lakehills homes, from replacing a single fogged unit to outfitting an entire lakefront house with impact-rated glass. Here’s what most customers call us about.
Window Installation
New construction or full replacement, we install windows that stand up to Hill Country heat and the occasional hailstorm that rolls through Bandera County. On lakefront lots near Medina Lake, we pay close attention to flashing and sealing because a wind-driven rain off the water finds every gap. We work with Windows & Doors projects of any size, from one bedroom to a whole house.
Door Installation
A new front door changes how your house feels the moment you walk up to it. We install exterior doors, interior doors, and patio doors across Lakehills, including heavy-duty frames that won’t warp in the humidity swings we get between drought years and flood stage. Every door gets shimmed, squared, and sealed properly so it latches clean on the first try and stays that way.
Window Replacement
If you live in one of the older fishing-camp cabins built around Medina Lake in the 1950s through 1970s, your windows are probably single-pane aluminum sliders that leak air and don’t lock securely. Replacing them with modern double-pane units makes an immediate difference in both cooling bills and noise from boat traffic on summer weekends. In Lakehills, full-home window replacement generally runs $4,500 to $15,000.
Impact Windows & Doors
We’re far enough inland that we don’t get the hurricane landfalls they see on the coast, but we absolutely get severe straight-line winds and hail. Impact-rated windows and doors from PGT or CGI give you real protection when a Hill Country storm drops golf-ball hail or throws tree limbs. For lakefront homes on Medina Lake, impact windows also hold up better to the constant wind exposure that comes with open water. Expect $8,000 to $25,000 for a full impact window installation in Lakehills.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lakehills
We install and service windows from Simonton, Ply Gem, PGT, and CGI. These are brands you can look up yourself, not mystery glass off a van. Our crew keeps common replacement parts and hardware on hand for these lines, which means faster turnaround when a Lakehills customer needs a sash replaced or a lock repaired. If you’ve got a Simonton window with a failed seal ten years in, we can usually source the replacement glass quickly and handle the warranty paperwork for you.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lakehills Homes
- Fogged or failed double-pane seals: The temperature swings between our hot summers and cool Hill Country nights accelerate seal failure. Once the argon escapes and moisture gets in, the glass is done. We see this constantly on south-facing windows in Lakehills homes.
- Warped or stuck doors from humidity cycling: Houses near Medina Lake absorb a lot of moisture during wet years, then shrink hard during drought. That cycle warps door frames and makes latches stop aligning. We fix the frame, not just the hardware.
- Rot and termite damage on older window sills: The 1950s and 1960s fishing-camp cabins still standing around the lake often have unsealed window openings that let water in behind the siding for decades. By the time we’re called, the sill is soft. We replace the rough opening and install a properly flashed new unit.
- UV damage and cracked glass on west-facing exposures: The afternoon sun off the lake is brutal. West-facing windows without low-E coating fade floors and furniture, and older single-pane glass can crack from thermal stress. We recommend low-E glass with a strong SHGC rating for those exposures.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Lakehills, TX
The table below reflects what we’re seeing across the 78056 zip code for typical projects. These are honest ranges, not teaser numbers.
| Project | Typical Lakehills Range |

What moves the number? The size and count of openings, whether the existing framing is rotten or out of square, and whether you choose impact-rated or standard double-pane glass. Homes built on the steep rocky lots off Highway 1283 sometimes need extra structural work around window openings, which adds to the total. We’ll give you a written quote with every line item spelled out before you sign anything. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate; we don’t charge a trip fee inside the county.

Pricing is comparable to the San Antonio metro, usually within a few hundred dollars either way depending on the job. What Lakehills buyers deal with more often is older framing that needs repair before a new window can go in. That adds cost whether you’re in Lakehills or anywhere else, but we’ll show it to you as a line item in writing before we start, not as a surprise at the end.

Ask for the Senior & Veteran discount if it applies to you; it’s permanent, not a promotion.
