Corpus Christi Window Replacement provides professional custom window installation in Corpus Christi, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Coastal Bend. Most custom window work on this coast is really structural work with glass at the end of it. The shape is the easy part. Carrying it is not, because every inch you add to a lite adds load the frame and the wall have to take.
That is why we price the framing separately and plainly. A customer who thinks they are buying a window and receives a framing invoice is a customer we have failed, so the quote separates the unit, the header or mullion work, the flashing and the finish.
Oversized fixed glass is the request we see most. Past a certain size the lite is no longer a window pane, it is a panel under pressure, and the glass has to be specified by thickness and heat treatment for the load rather than by the look of it. Fully tempered and heat-strengthened lites exist for precisely that.
Wide and tall assemblies also need a rated structural mullion between units, sized from a published load table, not a cosmetic cover strip. Ask any bidder which mullion they are using and where its load table comes from. A beautiful pair of units on an unrated mullion is a failure waiting for the right afternoon.
Templating follows demolition, not the drawing. Older openings in the mid-century parts of the city have moved, and frame condition rather than the glass in it usually decides the quote. We take the pattern off the opening once it is open and we size the unit to what is there.
Lead time is the commercial reality. A shaped or oversized unit is fabricated for your opening alone, the deposit is committed when the order is released, and nothing on a shelf will substitute. If a lite arrives with an edge chip, the fix is a second fabrication, so we inspect glass on delivery rather than after installation.
The code side here is split between the city and the insurance file. Permits come from the City of Corpus Christi, on the editions the city has adopted, and Texas issues no state contractor license in this trade for anyone to show you. From April 2026 the state requires windstorm certificate applications to be certified against the 2024 code.
For custom units that matters twice over, because the exact size and configuration has to appear in the manufacturer's evaluation report, and oversized is exactly where lines run out of tested sizes. We check the report before the order, and the report comes to you at closeout with the permit record.
The recommendation we give most often. Do not buy a custom shape for a seaward-facing wall because it was in a picture you brought in. We will not fit one there. If a standard unit fits the opening with honest trim, buy the standard unit and put the money into glass thickness and the mullion. Pay for custom when the span, the view or a reframed opening genuinely requires it.
Our 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 custom window installation
The difference between custom window installation that lasts and custom window installation 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.
