All things glass
One shop for the whole house
Most glass companies pick a lane. We did not. The same shop that replaces every window in a house also cuts the shelf for a cabinet door and templates a shower after your tile setter is done.
That matters more than it sounds. When one shop handles the windows, the shower, the mirrors, and the cabinet glass, you get one measure, one schedule, and one number to call when something needs adjusting. You are not coordinating four trades who each blame the last one.
Everything below is measured on site rather than off the plans, because the house as built is never quite the house as drawn.
Full home window replacement
Replace the windows, or sometimes just the glass
A fogged or cloudy dual-pane window means the seal on the insulated glass unit failed. The frame is usually fine. That is often a glass swap rather than a whole new window, and it is a very different number. We will tell you which one you are looking at before we quote it.
For a full replacement we run two tiers and we are straight about which one suits you. Energy-efficient vinyl, monolithic or insulated, where that is the right answer for the house and the budget. Fleetwood aluminum, the premium line we are an authorized dealer for, where the openings are large, the spans are wide, or the sightlines matter.

- Energy-efficient vinyl, monolithic and insulated
- Fleetwood aluminum windows and doors
- Single glass replacement in an existing frame
- Failed insulated glass units
Shower enclosures
A shower that looks built in, not bolted on
Almost no bathroom is square. That is why we template a shower on site after the tile is set, never off the plans. The template becomes the spec and the enclosure gets built to it, which is why the panels meet the tile instead of leaving a wedge of caulk down one edge.
Single door, inline, sliding, neo-angle, or fully frameless. Frameless reads cleaner and costs more in hardware and glass thickness. We will price both if you are undecided, and tell you which one your opening actually suits.
- Frameless and semi-frameless enclosures
- Single door, inline, and sliding
- Neo-angle and custom shapes
- Printed, casted, and textured glass
Choosing an enclosure
Frameless or framed, side by side
The FAQ below explains the trade-off. This is what it actually looks like. Neither is the better answer on every opening, and we will tell you which one yours suits.
-
Frameless, where you want the tile to be the thing you see
Thicker glass carrying its load through the hardware, so there is no metal around the panels. It costs more in both glass and hardware, and it needs an opening that will take the weight.
-
Framed, where the opening or the budget suits it better
A slim metal frame carries the glass instead, so the panels can be thinner. It goes in faster, it adjusts more easily later, and on a tub opening or a tight bathroom it is often simply the right call.
Mirrors
Mirrors cut to your wall, not to a box size
A mirror cut to the opening looks like part of the room. One bought to the nearest stock size looks like something you hung. We cut to your measurement, and we can bevel the edge, wrap it in L-mold or J-mold, or leave it clean.
Antique and tinted mirror for cabinet fronts and feature walls, and full-wall mirror where a room needs the depth.
- Custom sizing to the opening
- Beveled and polished edges
- L-mold and J-mold wrapping
- Antique and tinted mirror
Fleetwood windows and doors
Fleetwood only authorizes dealers who keep a showroom
That is a real requirement and it thins the field, which is why there are so few Fleetwood dealers in Central Texas. Ours is at 304 Main Street.
Come put your hands on a door and move it on its track before you spec one into a set of plans. A big slider reads differently in person than it does on a cut sheet, and the weight of the panel is the part nobody expects.
The rest of it
The glass most shops send somewhere else
Smaller work, and the reason people call us back. None of it is worth a trip charge on its own, so we fold it into whatever else we are doing at the house.
-
Keep a wine room cold without closing it off
Climate-controlled wine rooms, framed or frameless. The glass has to hold a temperature difference, so the make-up is not the same as an interior partition.
- Framed and frameless enclosures
- Insulated units where the temperature gap needs it
-
Get cabinet glass that suits the door, not the catalog
Clear, patterned, seeded, or colored glass cut to your cabinet openings, plus glass shelving cut and polished to fit.
- Cabinet door glass
- Glass shelving, cut and polished
- Patterned and colored glass
-
Stop a table top from being the thing you worry about
Tabletops, desk tops, and protective glass cut to a template with polished edges. Tempered where a top will take real use.
- Tabletops and desk tops
- Polished and beveled edges
- Specialty cuts and shapes
This was a small job and other companies I talked with would not come out or would charge a large fee just to look at the problem. Very pleased with the people and the service.

Questions
What homeowners ask us
Do you measure before or after my tile goes in?
After. Almost no bathroom is square, and tile changes the opening by enough to matter. We template on the finished surfaces, and that template is what the enclosure gets built to. Measuring off the plans is how you end up with a wedge of caulk down one edge.
My window is foggy. Do I need a whole new window?
Usually not. Fog between the panes means the seal on the insulated glass unit failed, and the frame is normally fine. That is often a glass swap rather than a full window, at a very different price. We will tell you which one you are looking at before we quote it, including when the honest answer is that the frame is done too.
Do I have to do all the windows at once?
No, and plenty of people do not. It depends on why you are replacing them. If it is one failed unit, replace that one. If it is a whole-house look, then it is all of them. Tell us which it is and we will price it that way.
What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless?
Frameless uses thicker glass and carries the load through the hardware, so there is no metal around the panels. Semi-frameless keeps a slim frame on the fixed panels and a free door edge. Frameless looks cleaner and costs more, in both glass thickness and hardware. Semi-frameless is not a downgrade, it is a different set of trade-offs, and on some openings it is the better answer.
Why is Fleetwood so hard to find around here?
Fleetwood requires its authorized dealers to keep a physical showroom. That requirement thins the field, which is why there are few dealers in Central Texas. Ours is at 304 Main Street, and you are welcome to come move a door before you commit one to a drawing.
Is my job too small for you?
Probably not. We cut single shelves and replace single panes. What we will tell you honestly is when a small job needs its own trip and what that costs, versus folding it into other work at the same house. Ask, rather than assuming the answer is no.
How far will you come out?
Fredericksburg to Georgetown, and most of the Hill Country and the Austin metro in between. The shop is at 304 Main Street in Marble Falls, which puts us in the middle of that range rather than at the edge of it. If you are outside it, call and ask.
What do you warranty?
Labor carries a one year warranty. Glass and hardware carry whatever the manufacturer provides for that product, and we will tell you what that is for your specific glass before you approve anything.
