Replacement Windows Houston: Installation Concerns
As much as we’ve already talked about it, we can never express just how important ventilation is. After all, replacement windows Houston are primarily designed for ventilation. As such, the installation should be done in a way that your replacement windows effectively accomplish this task.
As with any window installation, a replacement window should be at the very least, 3% of the total floor space of the room it is installed. Anything less and the window would have lost its purpose. A 1.5 sq ft window in a 50sq ft room does not make any impact on ventilation.
It goes without saying that replacement windows should match or outperform the one that they replace.
Trickle Vents
Found in majority of windows, trickle vents are small gapes in a window structure designed to facilitate ventilation. Make sure that trickle vents found in replacement windows match those from the previous window. Otherwise, you risk losing their functionality.
Impact Resistance
As you are already in the process of replacing your windows, you might consider impact-resistant windows. As its name suggests, this type of window is designed to withstand high speed impacts. Other benefits include:
- Increased Durability – Get more years out of your window as majority of impact resistant windows are double laminated.
- Protection – Debris flying through storms can reach 30-40mph. Impact resistance windows are rated to withstand collision with such objects.
Energy Efficiency
Rising steadily in popularity over the last decades, energy-efficient replacement windows have proven invaluable in building green homes. With 15-25% reduction in cooling and heating cost, the savings is worth taking a second look at.

We recently bought our house and it needed a lot of exterior work. All-Tex helped us above and beyond our expectations. Our new roof, pergola, fascia and soffit look fantastic and are built to last. Every time I pull into our driveway I am so proud to have a beautiful home! I can not begin to tell you what an amazing and pain free process the designer and crew made this project. Aleck, our designer knew exactly what we needed to do when we didn’t know where to start and we are so thankful for his utmost honesty, respect and patience. Thank you so much for everything!!
We had the house exterior re-painted and got a new roof. The job was beautifully done. It was on time, and the workers were friendly. My only, very minor, whine is that it has seemed difficult to schedule some small touch-ups.
We were extremely pleased with the repair work done on our termite damaged home that required walls, studs, insulation, & painting performed inside & outside of our home. We also had all the siding replaced & painted & 2 doors replaced & painted. The same workers were present every day until the work was completed. The attention to detail & the clean up afterwards was as if they were working on their own home. We always received a prompt reply with our emails & someone always answered the phone when we called the office & no voice mails. The customer service was excellent & the skill of the workers was exceptional. We will certainly use this company again for future needs.
Used All-Tex to replace some siding on our home. Scope included demo of old siding, repair insulation, install vapor barrier, replace old single pane windows with double pane, install new hardi-plank and paint. Very competitive pricing. Installed hardi-plank “butt-trim” method and did not have to debate that this was the way to install hardi-plank or pay more for it. They were also reasonable on scope changes once project was underway (e.g. water damage repair). I’m definitely including them routinely on bid list for future scopes.
I recently had my first experience with All-Tex. I hired them to enclose a small patio on the back side of my home. Overall, it was a very positive experience. I was a little fuzzy about the details of the project. I had a few specifications; but, needed some help with the details. The sales rep provided good suggestions and helped with the details. The quote was not cheap; but, was reasonable for quality work. The construction team had to deal with some weather issues; so, scheduling was a little challenging. In spite of that, the project was completed in a very satisfactory amount of time. The construction team had all the skills required to complete the job from start to finish. All-Tex even handled the electrical work we needed. We really like the new sunroom and have plans to use All-Tex again in the future. Based on our experience we highly recommend them.
All-Tex Home Improvement Services constructed a screen room with stamped overlay to our existing patio. The finished product more than met our expectations! The installation crews were efficient, thorough and courteous. It was a pleasure to work with All-Tex personnel from initial sales call to completion. I would not hesitate to choose All-Tex for future home improvement needs.
All-Tex did an excellent job on a large project, which consisted of a patio cover, stamped concrete, pergola and new windows. All construction projects have challenges and changes weather delays etc. etc. During this process I emailed or phoned Aleck Miller over 40 times. His quick responses and followup where like clockwork and is the mark of a true professional. As we are fairly new to the area we did obtain multiple bids and the All-Tex bids were also the best for comparable work. On our next project we will save a lot of time because I will be only be calling Aleck.
We had a pergola built by All-Tex. They were professional, reasonable, courteous and did a fantastic job! We absolutely would recommend their services to others.
We love our new patio installed by All-Tex Exteriors. The crew worked very hard to get the job done on time, even in rainy weather. Once it was done, they immediately came back to address a few touch up items I requested. I would definitely recommend this company to my friends and family and would use them again.
I would have to say that I am most impressed with the customer service that All-Tex provides. I have always dreaded calling companies and asking questions because the employees seem to get “irritated”. To my surprise every one in the office has always been so friendly and helpful, I would definitely recommend AllTex…
All-Tex Home Improvement did a great job installing our new patio cover. We had an existing patio cover and wanted to make the patio larger with a new cover yet have it look like it was one cover done at the same time. All-Tex was able to make the existing cover look like the new one that they installed for us! It looks great!
All-Tex just completed a project for us, replacing posts and railings on our wrap-around porch and they did a great job. Quality work at a fair price. Russell was fun to work with and made the process painless. The crew was friendly and professional. We are pleased with the results!
