Corpus Christi Window Replacement provides professional bay and bow windows in Corpus Christi, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Bend. This is the page where we most often talk a customer out of the product they called about. A bay window adds real floor space and light to a room, and on an exposed elevation here it is the hardest assembly we fit to make behave.
The reason is that a bay is not a window. It is a small cantilevered structure hanging off the wall, carrying its own roof, its own seat board and head board, its own insulation and its own flashing, with glass in three or five faces set at angles to each other. Every one of those is a separate opportunity for wind-driven water to get in.
Structurally it is supported either by knee braces below or by steel cables running from the head board back into the wall framing above. Those cables carry the dead load of the unit and anything sitting on the seat board. They do not carry wind load in the way people assume, and the connection back into the framing is only as good as what it is anchored to, which on a 1960s house is frequently not much.
Then there is the roof above it. What sits up there is a low-slope surface of a few square feet, with a valley or two where it dies into the wall, directly over glass. Well back from the water that is a manageable detail. On an elevation taking horizontal rain at pressure it is the detail that leaks, and it shows on the seat board where it is easy to see and expensive to fix.
None of that makes a bay wrong. It makes it a considered purchase. On a sheltered elevation, on a mainland lot, with a properly framed and flashed roof and a real head board and seat board rather than a factory shell, a bay window is a genuine improvement to a house and we build them happily.
What we will not do is put one on a seaward-facing wall because it was in the picture the customer brought in. In that position we propose a flat mulled assembly instead: a fixed picture lite in the centre with operable casements or awnings either side, joined by a structural mullion with a published load table, set in one plane in one flashed opening.
That assembly gives most of the light and all of the ventilation, certifies at a far higher design pressure, has one flashing plane rather than seven, and costs less. The thing it does not give you is the projection into the room and the seat, and if that projection is the actual reason you want it, we would rather have that conversation honestly than deliver something that will disappoint you in five years.
When we do fit a bay, we insulate the head and seat cavities properly, flash the roof as a roof rather than as an accessory, and set the whole unit on a continuous sloped pan. Those three things are what separate a bay that lasts from the ones we are called out to repair, and they are worth more than any upgrade to the glass inside it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — positive and negative design pressure ratings per opening, AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 performance grade, tested size tables published in product evaluation reports, large-missile classification under ASTM E1996, rated structural mullions with published load tables, fully tempered and heat-strengthened lites sized to the load — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Corpus Christi and nearby communities including Portland, Kingsville, Robstown, Rockport.

Materials, equipment and how we do bay and bow windows
The difference between bay and bow windows that lasts and bay and bow windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with positive and negative design pressure ratings per opening, AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 performance grade, tested size tables published in product evaluation reports, large-missile classification under ASTM E1996, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Corpus Christi job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in the Coastal Bend means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Corpus Christi Chooses Corpus Christi Window Replacement
- ✓The rating on your quote comes from the tested size in the evaluation report, so you are told what the window you are buying does, not what the best unit in its family does.
- ✓We establish which of the county's three windstorm zones the address sits in before any product is priced, because the required load rises with the square of the design wind speed.
- ✓Glass is chosen opening by opening rather than ordered as one package, so a shaded north wall is not paying for the coating a west wall needs.
- ✓Where an opening outruns the tested size table, we change the shape or add a rated structural mullion instead of quietly quoting a unit that will not certify at that size.
