Projects across Central Texas.
Real homes, real numbers, real photos. Selected Glacier projects from Pflugerville to Lake Belton — including the 28% summer cooling savings case study that Anlin Windows references in its dealer materials.
Case Study 01 · Pflugerville, TX
The Heatherwilde 28% home
Project: 12 Anlin Catalina dual-pane Low-E vinyl windows. Like-for-like retrofit replacing 1990s original aluminum. Bronze exterior, white interior frames. Standard HOA-approved profile.
Result: The homeowner measured Pflugerville Energy summer billing against the prior year, same thermostat setpoint, same number of occupants. The documented year-over-year reduction: 28% off peak-month cooling cost. On a $300 peak July bill, that’s $84 saved every month June through September — about $336/summer in direct utility savings, before factoring the federal Section 25C tax credit.
Why it worked: Heatherwilde and the surrounding Pflugerville subdivisions — Brookfield, Falcon Pointe, Spring Creek — are textbook upgrade candidates. Same 1990s builder-grade aluminum stock, same west-facing afternoon sun exposure, same Pflugerville Energy rate structure. We see comparable savings on most Pflugerville installs we measure.
Case Study 02 · Castle Heights, Waco
A historic-overlay window project, done right
Project: 14 Pella Reserve wood-clad windows with simulated divided lights matching the original 1920s pattern. Full City of Waco historic preservation overlay submission.
Result: Historic overlay approved on first submission. Existing window casing preserved. Energy performance updated to modern U-Factor and SHGC without compromising the architectural appearance — the new windows are visually indistinguishable from the originals from the street.
Why it worked: Castle Heights — like Historic Waco Heights and any Salado preservation overlay property — requires wood-clad with simulated divided lights matching the original pattern. We submitted to the City of Waco preservation review with photographs documenting existing condition, manufacturer specifications, and SDL pattern drawings. Vinyl was never on the table; trying to push it would have meant rejection and project delay.
Case Study 03 · Steiner Ranch, Bee Cave
Multi-profile Hardie on a Hill Country home
Project: Full James Hardie siding replacement, ~2,800 sq ft of substrate. HardiePlank lap on the field, HardiePanel board-and-batten on two gable faces, HardieShingle cedar-shake profile on the bay window accent. Aged Pewter ColorPlus factory finish throughout. HardieTrim casings on every window and door.
Result: Steiner Ranch HOA architectural review approved on first submission. Project completed in 6 working days. The visual variety from the three Hardie profiles reads as architectural intent rather than ornamentation — exactly what the Hill Country language calls for.
Why it worked: Steiner Ranch HOA has one of the more detailed architectural review processes in Central Texas — they specify acceptable siding profiles, manufacturers, and color palettes. We pulled the spec before quoting and submitted with a complete profile schedule. The factory ColorPlus finish means the 15-year paint warranty starts the day the install ends — no field painting required.
Case Study 04 · Belton, Bell County
A hail-claim roof, full replacement at carrier scope
Project: 28-square GAF Timberline AS II (Class 4 impact-resistant) full tear-off and replacement after a confirmed Bell County hail event. Insurance claim through State Farm.
Result: Claim approved at full replacement cost minus deductible. We caught two missed pieces of damage during our walk with the adjuster (chimney flashing and a damaged ridge cap section the adjuster had marked “good”) and submitted a supplement that recovered an additional $1,800. Homeowner upgraded from standard Timberline HDZ to Class 4 IR for the carrier premium discount — discount paid back the upgrade cost within 4 years.
Why it worked: Speed. We documented damage within 48 hours of the homeowner calling us. Walked the roof with the adjuster on Day 8. Written contractor quote in their hands within 24 hours of measure. Supplement submitted by Day 12. The faster you move on a hail claim, the more leverage you have when the adjuster scope underestimates 2026 material pricing — which it routinely does.
