HOMR managed over 40 residential Dallas window jobs last year. We used service data and member feedback to inform this buying guide.
We prefer Dallas window contractors over “big box” chains for their local expertise, community ties and a greater likelihood to offer labor warranties. Look for providers with excellent product knowledge regarding energy efficient windows.
The average whole-home Dallas vinyl window replacement costs $19,630, and improves home value by $13,000-$14,000. Dallas window replacement and installation costs are 2-3% lower than the national average due to lesser window insulation needs than colder climate zones.
The average Dallas window repair costs between $250-$450 per window. Sliding windows and skylights are among the most expensive due to complex installation and a wider variety of window sizes.

How We Chose the Top Dallas Window Company
HOMR began its selection process by eliminating “big box” and national window supply stores. We prefer to provide Dallas homeowners with contractors that
Whether you’re looking for window installation, window repair, or window replacement, choose a service provider that specializes in residential window services. Not only will they have a strong working relationship with residential window suppliers, they'll know how to respectfully work in and around your home.
As Dallas weather becomes more extreme, energy efficient windows reduce heat loss and home air leaks by up to 30%. We rate window installers and cleaners well if they offer eco-friendly products that exceed the efficiency ratings set forth by the Department of Energy.

HOMR recommends DFW window companies that offer workmanship warranties on their labor. It’s far easier to trust a window installation if the contractor offers an extended warranty on the project — not just the materials.
Finally, we eliminated any window companies who seemed “too tied” to one particular brand of products or materials. Dallas homeowners need a window contractor who has excellent working relationships with multiple suppliers and manufacturers.

Our Top Dallas Window Replacement Company
HOMR selected RDS Door and Windows as the best choice for window replacement in Dallas. Its owner, Shannon Burke, is the 3rd generation of her family to own and operate RDS.
🏆 RDS Door & Windows: Best Dallas Window Installation & Replacement
Why We Like Them: RDS is a member of the Rowlett Chamber of Commerce and has extremely strong community ties. Formed in 1996, it’s now a third generation family business based in Garland serving Dallas, Rowell, Richardson and most other Dallas suburbs.
RDS’ owner, Shannon Burke, offers a 2-year extended workmanship warranty on all labor. We also like her commitment to higher quality window materials and products.
“I don't install builder grade windows. They last 3-5 years and the savings isn't worth the quality difference,” Shannon told HOMR. “Our customers stay our customers forever — they’re part of my community.”
Non-Negotiables: It’s easy to get a live RDS representative on the phone — often, you’ll get the owner herself. Shannon also believes in a low-pressure sales environment where homeowners can request multiple home walkthroughs prior to making a decision.
“It’s a large purchase. I don’t see how people can walk into your home, make a 90 minute pitch and expect you to sign on the dotted line,” Shannon says. “That’s not how I work. I’ll bring our samples out 2, 3 times if it helps someone make a decision.”
RDS is a third-generation family-owned window replacement and installation company that's served the Dallas Metroplex since 1996. We like their extended workmanship and labor warranty and commitment to low-pressure sales.
The following Dallas window companies make our list of honorable mentions — they didn’t quite top our list, but we'd like to spotlight their positive attributes (and reasons why we didn't select them).
Please note: HOMR’s research team is constantly updating its database, and our rankings change over time. Check back to see if our recommended companies change!
Window Source of DFW: Window Source of DFW is our “runner up” window company. HOMR likes their customer service reputation, variety of window styles and types, and reliable appointment keeping.
Foster Exteriors Window Company: HOMR is impressed with Foster Exteriors’ reputation, service record and online reviews. We weren’t able to reach a live service representative in several phone call attempts.
Thermal Windows: We like that Thermal Windows manufactures and installs thermal, aluminum and vinyl windows. We couldn’t find indication of several window styles listed on their website, including skylights.
Window World of Dallas-Fort Worth: Few, if any, window companies can beat Window World on price. However, they only deal in vinyl windows and offer a limited product warranty — as a national brand, they don’t have specific Dallas experience.
Current Cost of Dallas Window Replacement, Installation and Repair
The average cost to replace, install and repair windows in Dallas is 3-5% lower than the national average. This is primarily due to weather — homes in colder climates require windows with more insulation, which drives installation and material costs up.
