ProTex Remodeling

Many homeowners overlook the importance of good sealants. The type and quality of sealants used to install windows and doors varies greatly. With the extreme heat and UV exposure in North Texas. ProTex Remodeling uses OSI Quad on the exterior of all our window, door, and siding installations. We are certified OSI installers, all our products come with a 15 year “no leak warranty” from OSI.

I am going to let Dave Ramsey answer this question with this link. https://www.ramseysolutions.com/real-estate/5-signs-contractor-you-can-trust

We are a veteran family owned and operated business. My son Aaron is the lead installer and Sascha is the next crew lead in training. They have combined experience installing windows of over 20 years.

My family has been in the remodeling business since 1975. I started with my dad in 1978 during summer break in school. After my military service in 1986, I went to work with my dad again. I opened what is now ProTex Remodeling in 1992.

Companies all price their products differently. ProTex Remodeling uses transparent pricing, and we basically charge the same price to all our customers. This eliminates the need for negotiations, sleazy sales gimmicks, and fake discounts that so many other companies advertise. We do offer Senior Citizens over 65 and Military Veterans with a DD214 a discount of 10%. Gold Star Families get an additional 5% Discount.

Sliding patio doors are made to withstand regular opening and closing. Most manufacturers test their doors hundreds of thousands of cycles before going into production. Sliding patio doors do not obstruct the interior or exterior with their operation so you have more choices in the layout of the room. French doors are beautiful and offer a distinguished look. There are big differences in quality of French doors. In my opinion, I would stay with the name brand manufacturers and make sure you get adjustable ball bearing hinges, auto adjusting thresholds and multi point locking system. Whatever your choice in patio doors, make sure you know exactly what kind of warranty the manufacturer is issuing on the door and what it covers.

With the cost of borrowing money being at all-time low, and the cost of utilities constantly increasing. It often makes sense to finance your window and door project and leave your capital in the bank or investment. When replacing old aluminum windows, it is commonplace to see savings between 25%-50% on utilities. This savings often covers most, or all of your loan payment. Basically, making your windows a free investment over time.

Vinyl siding that has a laminated insulated backer is one of the very best choices in residential siding. Like any product, the siding is only as good as the person installing it. Most siding manufacturers will not warranty improper installation. Therefore, it is imperative that you select the right company with the knowledge and skill to install whatever type of siding fits your needs. Vinyl siding however, remains one of the most popular maintenance free choices in siding today.

Some installers do not take the time to protect the work environment and simply use the old window screen to catch the debris. The reason is that when they are paid a low wage at the discount window companies, the installer simply doesn’t have the resources to buy the necessary materials to protect the work area. They are playing a numbers game and time is the key factor in making money. ProTex Remodeling provides a premium wage, has skilled installers and requires that all work area surfaces are protected before starting your project. We vacuum the interior and use plastic tarps to catch the debris on the exterior. We do not break glass with a hammer like most companies do. We deglaze the windows using a putty knife and a Map torch, this causes much less glass breakage.

Generally, a professional window installation crew can replace 8-12 windows per day correctly. There are many companies who will rush through your installation because of what they pay their installers per window. Discount window companies often pay installers on the low end of the pay scale. The installers that work there are often lower skilled and willing to work for what they can get or worse yet, installers that have burnt their bridges with the other companies and have nowhere else to work. In order to make a profit, these installers are almost forced to work fast and do multiple jobs per day.

Windows are now available in many colors. While Bronze, black, and even custom colors are the current trend. White, beige and clay continue to be the three colors that stand the test of time.

Texas only requires a one-year guarantee on labor for contractors. For our customers protection, ProTex Remodeling has a customer for life workmanship guarantee with free first year installation inspection that is standard with all our window, door and siding installations

According to reportlinker.com, the Vinyl Windows market in the U.S. is estimated at 46.2 million units in the year 2021. The country currently accounts for a 26.95% share in the global market. Vinyl continues to dominate the replacement window market as the material of choice due its longevity and ease of maintenance. Most vinyl windows now include a Limited Lifetime Warranty from the manufacturer.

When replacing single pane windows or double pane windows that are not low-e coated. It is not unusual for customers to report savings in utilities of up to 50% as well as an overall better temperature on the interior of the home. Two story houses benefit greatly on the second floor by balancing the temperature better with the first floor. Especially when you use upgraded solar glass and foam filled window frames.

New windows can vary greatly when it comes to your total investment. Some variables that can influence the price of a windows are: -The materials are used to manufacture the window. -The quality of the glass and coatings. -Tempered safety glass, obscured glass, and internal grids. -The color, size, and operation of the window. In general, new vinyl windows with energy-star rated performance should start at a minimum of $450.00-$500.00 per window installed. I would be very suspicious of a window costing much less than that.
