Window Replacement in University Park

University Park sits just north of SMU between Hillcrest Avenue and the Dallas North Tollway, sharing the Park Cities enclave with neighboring Highland Park. The housing stock is predominantly traditional — Georgian, Colonial Revival, English Tudor, and French Provincial homes built from the 1930s through the 1960s, with a mix of tasteful renovations and newer custom builds filling in along Lovers Lane, Normandy Avenue, and the streets near Goar Park.

Windows in University Park homes carry the same architectural weight as in Highland Park: divided-lite double-hung sashes, arched transoms, and specialty shapes that define each facade. Replacing them with off-the-shelf products that don't match the original proportions undermines the home's value and the neighborhood's cohesive streetscape. Dallas Window Replacement builds every University Park order to the specific muntin pattern, sash width, and profile depth the home requires.

Common problems include rotting wood frames (especially on north-facing elevations where moisture lingers), fogged insulated glass from first-generation replacement windows installed in the 1990s, and failing hardware on double-hung units that makes sashes difficult to open or lock securely. We address all of these during the replacement process, including repairing rot in the rough opening before the new window goes in.

The City of University Park requires building permits for window replacements that alter the opening size or structural framing. We handle the permit application, schedule the inspection, and ensure the work meets the city's building code. For like-for-like insert replacements — the most common project type — permits are generally not required, but we confirm with the city on every job.

Energy performance upgrades are especially impactful in University Park's older homes. Many still have original single-pane glass or early dual-pane units with no Low-E coating. Replacing them with modern insulated glass cuts solar heat gain by up to 50 % and reduces air infiltration to near zero, keeping the home comfortable through Dallas's hottest months and cutting cooling costs substantially.
