Schedule a Free Window Estimate in Central Texas | Glacier

A free window replacement estimate from Glacier Home Exteriors in Central Texas takes 30–60 minutes in your home and produces a written, itemized quote within 48 hours. We measure every opening, inspect frame condition, walk you through Anlin and Pella options, and hand you the NFRC label for the exact window we’d install. No sales-script pressure, no follow-up call-bombing, no “today only” discounts. Available across Waco, Temple, Killeen, Belton, Hewitt, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Salado, and the rest of our 26-city Central Texas service area.

The four steps from call to written quote

1. Initial call or form submission. Call (254) 265-8898 or fill out the contact form. We confirm your address, get a rough idea of your project (number of windows, any specific issues), and book the in-home visit at a time that works for you.
2. In-home measure (30–60 minutes). One of our estimators — Sean or a senior team member, not a third-party sales rep — walks the house. We measure every opening, photograph existing windows, inspect frame and sill condition, check for any rot or moisture damage, and discuss what you actually want from the project.
3. Options walkthrough. We show you Anlin Catalina vs Pella 250 vs Pella Reserve, color samples, glass package options. We explain SHGC and U-Factor in plain English. If you’re in Sun City Georgetown, Berry Creek, Brushy Creek, Heritage Oaks Hewitt, or any HOA, we cover the architectural review requirements upfront.
4. Written quote within 48 hours. Itemized per opening. Includes NFRC label PDF for the specific window. Labor warranty in writing (10 years). Project timeline (typically 4–8 weeks estimate to install). Manufacturing lead time clearly stated. You take time, compare quotes, ask questions. We follow up once. If you go elsewhere, we wish you well.

What we won’t do

We don’t run the high-pressure playbook some national chains and door-to-door companies use in Central Texas after every spring hail event. Specifically:

• No “today only” discounts. If we quote you $14,200 today, the same project is $14,200 next week. Real pricing doesn’t expire at midnight.
• No 3-hour kitchen-table pitch. The walkthrough takes 30–60 minutes. We measure, discuss, hand you a card, and leave. The written quote comes by email.
• No “manager approval” theater. The estimator who walks your home has authority to quote — no “let me call my manager to see what we can do” routine.
• No follow-up call bombing. One follow-up email within 5 days. If you reply with a question, we answer. If you don’t, we don’t pursue.
• No financing pressure. If you need financing we route you through Enhancify (banks compete for your business). We don’t profit from the financing decision either way.

How to prep for the estimate

You don’t need to do anything — but if you want a sharper conversation, three things help:

• Pull your last summer’s electric bill. We can give you a realistic savings projection based on your home’s actual cooling cost. (15–28% off summer cooling is typical for upgrades from 1990s aluminum.)
• Note your HOA name if you’re in Sun City Georgetown, Brushy Creek, Berry Creek, Cat Hollow, Heritage Oaks Hewitt, Adams Ranch Temple, Heatherwilde Pflugerville, or similar. We pull the architectural review template before we arrive.
• Have a rough sense of your priorities. Lowest cost? Highest energy savings? Specific color or HOA requirement? Hail-rated glass for west exposure? The more you tell us upfront, the tighter the quote.

Common estimate questions

Do you charge for the estimate?

No. Free in-home measure, free written quote, free NFRC label sheet. No deposit, no obligation. Whether you live in Brushy Creek, Heritage Oaks Hewitt, Berry Creek Georgetown, or anywhere in our 26-city Central TX service area.

Will the same person who quotes us do the install?

Yes — Glacier is family-owned out of Waco. Sean or a senior team member does the in-home measure, and the same crew is on-site for install. No salesperson handoff to a subcontracted install team you’ve never met. Same number, same crew, same warranty contact for the life of the project.

What if I’m not ready to buy yet?

Fine. The quote is good for 90 days — install pricing locked, no asterisks. We follow up once by email within 5 days. If you tell us you’re a year out, we put you in a low-touch follow-up cadence (one check-in every 6 months) instead of weekly calls.

Can you do a virtual / photo estimate?

For a rough ballpark range, yes — text us photos of your home with rough opening counts and we can give you a per-opening estimate within Central Texas market norms. For an actual locked-in written quote with NFRC labels and final per-window pricing, we need to measure in person. Window openings are rarely perfectly square; measurements matter.

Do you go to Hill Country addresses (Lakeway, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs)?

Yes — same per-opening pricing, no zip-code surcharge. We service Lakeway, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Buda, Kyle, and the broader Hill Country corridor on the same schedule as our Round Rock and Pflugerville estimates.
