Bobbitt Glass and Mirror Company · Houston, TX
Window Installation
New windows measured, supplied and installed by glaziers — with the same repair-first honesty: we never replace a window that only needs glass.
Sometimes replacement really is the right answer: frames rotted or warped beyond repair, single-pane windows pouring money into Houston's summer air, or a remodel that changes the openings themselves. When that day comes, Bobbitt Glass and Mirror Company installs new windows with the same glazier's care we bring to repairs — measured exactly, set plumb and square, sealed against Gulf weather, and trimmed to look like they belong.
Because we are a glass shop and not a window sales franchise, our advice is product-honest: we help you choose the window type and glass package that fits the opening and the budget, we install it, and we stand behind the work from the same Rochow St address Houston has trusted since 1938.
What You Get with Our Window Installation
Measured to your openings
Every window is measured individually — no guessing from 'standard sizes' that never quite fit.
Full removal & disposal
Old windows out, openings prepared, new units set, sealed and trimmed. Nothing left for you to haul.
Energy-efficient glass options
Low-E and insulated glass choices that cut Houston cooling bills and quiet the street.
Repairs where they make sense
Installation customers get the same honest assessment: windows that only need glass work are not replaced.
Clean, careful crews
Floors protected, openings finished, and your home secured and weather-tight every night of the job.
Local accountability
Installed by a Houston company at the same address since long before the big chains arrived — and still here after.
Options & Materials
New windows are chosen by opening and by goal. Vinyl is the value workhorse; aluminum suits slim sightlines and Houston heat; wood and clad products serve historic and high-end homes. Glass packages range from clear insulated units to low-E coatings tuned for Texas sun and laminated options for security and noise. We also handle the in-between job many companies skip: installing a new insulated glass unit into a sound existing frame. Every option is quoted in writing after measuring — bring rough sizes and photos when you call and the conversation gets specific fast.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
- 1
Assessment
Call and describe the problem. Where possible we assess the damage first — a cracked pane, fogged unit, broken hardware or a mirror that needs replacing — and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
- 2
Written quote
You get a clear price for the agreed work before anything starts: glass type, thickness, finish and labor, all spelled out. No surprises when the job is done.
- 3
Measuring & ordering
We take exact measurements and order or cut the glass and materials to size. Tempered and safety glass is ordered to code for doors, showers and low windows.
- 4
Installation
Our glaziers remove the damaged material, fit the new glass or unit, seal the edges and check the operation of the window or door. Work areas are protected and left clean.
- 5
Final check
We inspect the finished work with you in good light. You get care instructions and our number for anything that comes up later.
Care & Maintenance
New windows stay trouble-free with basics: keep tracks and weep holes vacuumed and clear, wash with mild soap and water, and lubricate locks and rollers yearly. In Houston's humidity, glance at exterior caulk lines each spring; small cracks resealed early keep water out of the wall. Keep the paperwork for your windows — manufacturer, model and glass spec — with your home records for any future service or warranty claim.
What Affects the Price?
No two homes in Houston are the same, so honest pricing starts with a look at your actual project. These are the factors that move the number most:
- Window type and size — standard versus picture, shaped or oversized units
- Frame material and product line selected
- Glass package — standard, low-E, impact or laminated options
- Opening condition and any repair to framing or trim
- Number of windows — per-unit pricing improves with quantity

Window Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
How long does installation take?+
Most single-window and small projects finish in a day; full homes are scheduled in stages so your house is never left open overnight. We confirm the schedule before any work starts.
Do you remove and dispose of the old windows?+
Yes — old units are removed and hauled away as part of the job, and the openings are cleaned, insulated and sealed before the new windows are set.
Should I replace all my windows or just the bad ones?+
We will measure both ways and tell you plainly. If the existing windows are sound and only the glass has failed, repair is usually the smarter spend; if frames are failing, replacement wins.
Do you replace weatherstripping and seals too?+
Yes. Vinyl strip replacement is part of our window service work (it is listed among our services) — worn weatherstripping is renewed so the window seals like it should.
How much do window installation cost?+
The honest answer is that it depends on size, material and the condition of the existing opening. Beware of anyone who quotes a firm price without measuring. Bobbitt Glass and Mirror Company measures first and then gives you a written quote with the full price — free — so you can compare it properly.
How long does a typical window installation project take?+
Measuring and ordering take the first part of the timeline; the on-site work for most homes is completed in a day. Larger or custom projects take longer, and we give you the schedule in writing before you commit, so you can plan around it.
Do you offer free estimates?+
Yes — call (713) 523-7369 and we will arrange a free consultation and written quote. There is no obligation and no pressure to decide on the spot.
Do you serve my part of Houston?+
Bobbitt Glass and Mirror Company serves the areas listed on our Service Areas page. If your neighborhood is close to a listed area but not named, call us — we will tell you straight away whether we can reach you.
What should I prepare before installation day?+
Clear the area around each opening, take down curtains or blinds if we are not replacing them, and move fragile items away from the work zone. Our team protects floors and furniture, and removes the old units and packaging when the job is done.
Can window installation be customized for unusual sizes or shapes?+
In most cases, yes. Arches, angled tops, oversized openings and out-of-square frames are measured individually and made or ordered to fit. Bring us the awkward opening — it is usually the one that benefits most from a custom solution.
What information helps my quote be accurate?+
Rough measurements (width × height in inches), a photo of each opening, and a note about what you want to change. Send those when you call (713) 523-7369 and your written quote will be faster and closer to the final number.
What happens if something is not right after the job?+
Call us. Bobbitt Glass and Mirror Company stands behind its work: if something we supplied or installed is not right, we come back and make it right. That is how a local business keeps its name — one fixed problem at a time.
