Wichita Falls Window Replacement provides professional egress windows in Wichita Falls, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Texoma region. This is the one page on this site where we will not talk you into the cheaper option. An egress window is a life-safety opening, and a repair that preserves an undersized one is the wrong answer no matter what it saves you on the day.
The numbers are not negotiable, and they are worth writing down before anybody quotes you. Net clear opening: 5.7 square feet, dropping to 5.0 where the opening sits at grade floor level. Clear height: 24 inches at minimum. Clear width: 20 inches at minimum. Sill above the finished floor: 44 inches at the very most.
Net clear is the phrase that catches owners out. Measure the hole a body goes through with the sash pushed as far as it will travel. Not the rough opening. Not the frame. Not the nominal size on an order form. A double-hung surrenders half its height to the fixed upper sash, which is why so many older bedrooms in this city fail even though the window looks generous from indoors.
Most of our egress work here has nothing to do with basements. North Texas soil and the local building tradition mean very few homes have one, and the ones that do are usually storm cellars rather than living space. What we do instead is bedrooms created out of garages, bonus rooms and attic conversions, plus additions where the original opening was sized by eye rather than by code.
The practical choice is usually a casement or a horizontal slider sized up. A casement swings the entire sash clear of the opening and reaches net clear area in a smaller rough opening than anything else, which matters when the wall has a header you would rather not move. A slider needs more width to get there but avoids a swing into a tight side yard.
Enlarging an opening in a load-bearing wall means a new header, and that is where the honest cost sits. Cutting studs, sizing and setting a header, reframing the sill, and then flashing and finishing inside and out is real carpentry. Anyone quoting an egress enlargement at the price of a window swap has not priced the framing.
If your bedroom already has a compliant opening and the window in it simply will not open, that is repair territory and we treat it as such. A painted-shut sash, a seized balance or a failed casement operator on an egress window is urgent but it is not expensive, and it gets scheduled ahead of cosmetic work.
Where we push back hardest is on sellers and landlords hoping to leave a sleeping room with a 30-inch sill and a 14-inch opening. We will not fit a new window into a non-compliant hole and call it done. Either the opening gets enlarged or the room stops being a bedroom, and both of those are conversations worth having before the inspection, not after.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — spiral sash balances, block-and-tackle balance cartridges, cord-and-weight jamb pockets, moisture-saturated desiccant in the spacer, butyl primary edge seals, setting blocks at the quarter points — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Wichita Falls and nearby communities including Burkburnett, Iowa Park, Electra, Pleasant Valley.

Materials, equipment and how we do egress windows
The difference between egress windows that lasts and egress windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with spiral sash balances, block-and-tackle balance cartridges, cord-and-weight jamb pockets, moisture-saturated desiccant in the spacer, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Wichita Falls job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in the Texoma region means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Wichita Falls Chooses Wichita Falls Window Replacement
- ✓We quote the part before the product. A spiral balance, a tandem roller or a length of pile weatherstrip fixes most of what people here are told needs a new window, and we would rather sell you that.
- ✓We measure glass properly, which is why our insulated units fit first time: sight size plus bite, unit thickness, spacer type, and which surface carries the low-emissivity coating.
- ✓We say out loud when a repair is throwing good money after bad. A bowed vinyl frame, a racked casement sash or an aluminum house you are already fixing twice a year gets a replacement quote and the reasoning in writing.
- ✓We will not sell impact-rated glazing three hundred miles from salt water. If you want protection from a tornado we refer you to a shelter builder, because a window is not a shelter and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
