Replacement Windows South Austin, Tx
Replacement Windows in South Austin Without Deposits, Pressure, or Excuses
Cupcake Home Improvements installs replacement windows across South Austin — Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights, Zilker, South Lamar, Slaughter Creek, and the rest of the south side — with free consultations, no deposit required, and a 10-year workmanship warranty. The windows on these homes tell the story of the neighborhood: 1960s bungalows with original wood single-pane glass that bleeds energy every summer; 1990s ranches off South Lamar where builder-grade vinyl is reaching end of life with failed seals and fogged glass; 2000s builds where the windows look fine but no longer perform — the common window problems we encounter on most South Austin homes. Every west-facing room turns into an oven by mid-afternoon in July.
We have completed window projects across South Austin — whole-house replacements where every opening was at end of life, targeted replacements on the rooms taking the brunt of the Texas sun, and material consultations for homeowners deciding between their window material options — vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum, or wood. The job is not to talk you into replacing windows that still have years left. The job is to look at what you have, measure honestly, and tell you which windows actually need to go — and which ones can wait.
Free consultation. Written scope. No deposit. If your windows are still performing, we will tell you. If it is time to replace them, we will show you why — with measurements, photos, and pricing you can actually read. For an overview of our window types, performance options, and how we approach installation, see our complete window services.

South Austin Window Questions
We are in an older South Austin home — 1960s or 1970s — with the original wood-frame windows. What are our realistic options?
Older South Austin homes — especially in Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights, Zilker, Galindo, and Garrison Park — often have original wood single-pane windows that are beautiful but no longer perform. Options range from vinyl replacements that drop into the existing opening, to fiberglass for better thermal performance, to matched wood for homes where appearance matters most. The right answer depends on the house, the neighborhood character, and how long you plan to stay. We walk through each option during the consultation and can show real installs of each material on similar homes.
What can be done about windows on the south and west sides of the house that turn rooms into ovens by mid-afternoon?
Texas summer sun on south- and west-facing windows is one of the most common reasons South Austin homeowners replace before the windows are technically failing. Modern glass packages with Low-E coatings, argon fills, and proper U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient values can cut solar heat gain dramatically. The specific glass spec depends on which direction the windows face and how much shade the room has. We measure orientation, look at existing tree coverage, and recommend a glass package matched to each elevation — not a single spec for the whole house.
Can we replace just the worst windows now and do the rest later, or do we need to do the whole house at once?
Phased replacement works for windows in a way it does not for roofs. There is no structural reason every window needs to go at the same time. Homeowners often start with the south- and west-facing rooms (which see the most heat gain), or with windows that are clearly failing — fogged glass, broken seals, painted shut, or rotted frames. We can quote the whole-house scope and a phased version, and you can decide. The trade-off is that material and series matching across phases is easier if you stay with the same brand, so we document everything for future reference.
Cupcake Home Improvements
2601 Mc Hale Ct #145, Austin
- Honest people and did a great job.
-
- We cannot say enough about our whole process with Cupcake. … More I found them at a home improvement show where I connected with several companies. Cupcake wasn't the least expensive but their no-pressure approach was a big selling-point with us. They gave us all the time we needed to make our final decision.
We initially planned on just replacing 3 doors but then decided to also replace 13 windows. The job was planned for 3 days and completed in 2-1/2. They were punctual, professional, courteous, very tidy and extremely pleasant to work with.
During the whole process, we were constantly updated on the manufacturing status of the new doors and windows. At any point, if we had questions or concerns, they were simply a text or call away.
If you're thinking of new doors or windows or need your roof worked on, we highly recommend consulting with Cupcake!! - Our experience with Cupcake was great, and ours was … More a big job! Cupcake replaced windows, doors, and siding; added gutters; and painted the whole place. Matt Koger was exceptionally patient with us while we worked out several estimates involving four different crews. Our project manager Cory was on top of everything from start to finish and was very responsive when we had questions or requests. The crews were professional, efficient, tidy, and pleasant to work with. It's also important to note that the timeline met our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the people we encountered at each phase and the quality work they delivered.
- All around great service, quality windows and easy … More install.
- I got my Pella replacement windows installed by Cupcake … More Home Improvement, the new windows looks great and thanks for Jonathan showed me how to submit the Windows Spec for my HOA approval, also Kenny help make sure everything look good after the installation, I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know for their home improvement needed.
