Single hung window replacement for Austin homes — replacing original aluminum single-hung windows with modern vinyl units across South Austin, North Austin, and surrounding areas. Call (512) 615-9042 to schedule your window replacement. Single-hung vinyl replacement is the most common window job in Austin’s pre-1990 residential neighborhoods.
The Situation
Your original single-hung aluminum windows have the top sash painted shut and the bottom sash barely moves. The frames are oxidized, the weatherstripping is gone, and on a summer afternoon you can feel the heat radiating through the glass. This is the most common window situation in pre-1990 Austin homes.
Why It Matters in Austin
Single-hung aluminum windows from before 1990 were not designed for today’s cooling demands. Austin averages 232 sunny days per year. The aluminum frame conducts heat directly into the room — a thermal problem that vinyl replacement solves permanently.

Common Questions Before You Call
How much will new windows cost?
Window replacement costs in Austin typically run $300–$800 per window installed, depending on size, frame material, and glass type. Whole-house replacement projects range from $4,000 to $20,000+ depending on window count and specifications. We provide written pricing before work begins — no surprises.
Can’t I just have my current windows repaired instead?
If your windows have a single cracked pane or a broken latch, repair may make sense — we recommend contacting your original installer or a glass specialist for repair work. If your windows are fogging between panes, frames are warping, or you’re seeing a pattern of seal failures, replacement is typically more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
How long does window replacement take?
Single window: 1–2 hours. Whole house (10–15 windows): 1–2 days. We install one window at a time so your home is never fully open to the outside at once.
What Austin Homeowners Say
4.8/5 — 241+ Homeowner Reviews
"We had the original aluminum windows from 1968. The difference after replacement is hard to describe — the house feels completely different in summer. No more hot glass, no more condensation on the inside. Worth every dollar."
Robert S.
South Austin
"Our 2004 builder windows all had fogged glass from failed seals. Every single window was cloudy. They replaced all 14 windows in two days. The installers were respectful of the house and left everything clean."
Natalie K.
Cedar Park
"After Uri, one of our aluminum frame windows cracked along the corner. Called and they came out, measured everything, and gave us a written quote before we committed to anything. Installation was clean and fast."
Marcus T.
Round Rock
"We were replacing windows as part of a kitchen remodel. They worked around our contractor’s schedule without complaint. The new Low-E windows make the kitchen noticeably cooler in the afternoon sun."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a single hung window?
A single hung window has a fixed top sash and an operable bottom sash. The bottom sash slides up to open. This is the most common window type in pre-1990 Austin homes, typically installed with aluminum frames.
Can I upgrade from single hung to double hung during replacement?
Yes. When replacing single-hung windows, you can specify double-hung units in the same opening. Double-hung windows have both sashes operable and tilt in for cleaning — useful in multi-story Austin homes where outside cleaning is difficult.
Do you repair single hung windows?
We specialize in full window replacement and new window installation. For repair of existing single-hung windows — including broken sash cords, failed weatherstripping, or cracked glass — we recommend contacting your original installer or a local glass repair specialist.
How long does single hung window replacement take?
A single window typically takes 1–2 hours. A whole-house replacement of 10–15 single-hung windows typically takes 1–2 days. We install one window at a time so your home is never fully open to the outside at once.
