Fred's Screens · Dallas, TX
Windows & Doors
Affordable windows and doors — installation and repairs, from the same Westmoreland Rd shop that handles your screens and glass.
Fred's Screens' own listing has always paired its screen work with 'affordable windows and doors — installation and repairs,' and the combination is natural: the shop that measures your openings for screens and glass is well placed to handle the windows and doors themselves. This service covers replacement windows and doors for Dallas homes, fitted with the same measuring-first discipline, plus the repair work — sashes that will not stay up, doors that will not latch, weatherstripping long past its life — that keeps existing units working.
The emphasis is practical rather than showroom. Many homes do not need every window replaced; they need the three failed units replaced, the sticking door rehung, and the rest serviced. We will assess unit by unit and tell you which side of the repair-or-replace line each one sits on. Where a full replacement is right, windows and doors are ordered to the measured opening and installed sealed, level and trimmed — by the local shop you can walk into afterward if anything ever needs adjusting.
What You Get with Our Windows & Doors
Replacement windows
Failed, fogged or broken windows replaced with units measured to the opening and installed sealed against Dallas weather.
Entry & patio doors
Doors supplied and hung true — or existing doors rehung, re-latched and weather-sealed so they close like they should.
Repair before replace
Balances, latches, weatherstripping and hardware serviced first; replacement recommended only where repair stops making sense.
Unit-by-unit assessment
Every opening judged on its own condition — no all-or-nothing pitch, no pressure to do the whole house at once.
Screens & glass in one visit
Because the shop does all three trades, new windows can be screened and glazed by the same people who installed them.
Local after-care
Installed by a shop at 622 S Westmoreland Rd — if a unit ever needs adjustment, you know exactly where to find us.
Options & Materials
Replacement work starts with the honest audit: which units have failed seals, broken glass or rotted frames, which need hardware and weatherstripping, and which are fine as they are. From there, choices are scope and spec — replace the worst elevation now and the rest later, or do the house in one pass; standard insulated glass, or low-E on the sun-struck sides. Doors follow the same logic: rehang and re-seal where the slab is sound, replace where it is not. Phased work is normal here — a written plan with prices per unit lets you spread the job across seasons without paying twice for visits.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
- 1
Assessment
Call and describe the problem. Where possible we assess the damage first — a cracked pane, fogged unit, broken hardware or a mirror that needs replacing — and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
- 2
Written quote
You get a clear price for the agreed work before anything starts: glass type, thickness, finish and labor, all spelled out. No surprises when the job is done.
- 3
Measuring & ordering
We take exact measurements and order or cut the glass and materials to size. Tempered and safety glass is ordered to code for doors, showers and low windows.
- 4
Installation
Our glaziers remove the damaged material, fit the new glass or unit, seal the edges and check the operation of the window or door. Work areas are protected and left clean.
- 5
Final check
We inspect the finished work with you in good light. You get care instructions and our number for anything that comes up later.
Care & Maintenance
Keep tracks and weep holes clear so rain drains out of window frames instead of into walls. Lubricate latches, locks and door hinges yearly, and inspect exterior caulk and weatherstripping each fall before the north winds test them. Operate every window a few times a season — mechanisms that sit for years seize, and a window that will not open is a safety issue, not just an annoyance. If operation changes on any unit we installed, call while it is an adjustment, not a repair.
What Affects the Price?
No two homes in Dallas are the same, so honest pricing starts with a look at your actual project. These are the factors that move the number most:
- Number of units replaced vs. repaired
- Window and door sizes — standard or custom openings
- Glass package — standard insulated or low-E
- Frame and opening condition found at removal
- Trim, sealing and any structural repairs needed
For general planning numbers, see our Price Guide — those are market ranges, not our prices. Your exact, written price comes free with your quote: call (469) 730-0292.

Windows & Doors — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace all my windows at once?+
Rarely. Windows fail one elevation at a time — usually the sun and weather side first. We will rank your units by condition and replace what has actually failed, with a written plan for the rest when you are ready.
Can you repair a window instead of replacing it?+
Often, yes: glass, balances, latches, weatherstripping and screens are all repairable items, and this shop does each of them. Replacement is for failed frames, rotted sashes and units whose parts no longer exist — we will show you which of yours qualify.
My front door sticks and whistles in wind. What does it need?+
Usually a rehang or hinge adjustment, a new latch alignment and fresh weatherstripping — a service call, not a new door. If the door or frame is genuinely worn out, we will show you the evidence before quoting a replacement.
How are your windows priced?+
Per opening, after measuring: unit size, glass package and the condition of the existing frame decide the number. You get a written per-unit quote, so phased work and comparisons are easy. Call (469) 730-0292 to arrange measuring.
How much do windows & doors cost?+
The honest answer is that it depends on size, material and the condition of the existing opening. Beware of anyone who quotes a firm price without measuring. Fred's Screens measures first and then gives you a written quote with the full price — free — so you can compare it properly.
How long does a typical windows & doors project take?+
Measuring and ordering take the first part of the timeline; the on-site work for most homes is completed in a day. Larger or custom projects take longer, and we give you the schedule in writing before you commit, so you can plan around it.
Do you offer free estimates?+
Yes — call (469) 730-0292 and we will arrange a free consultation and written quote. There is no obligation and no pressure to decide on the spot.
Do you serve my part of Dallas?+
Fred's Screens serves the areas listed on our Service Areas page. If your neighborhood is close to a listed area but not named, call us — we will tell you straight away whether we can reach you.
What should I prepare before installation day?+
Clear the area around each opening, take down curtains or blinds if we are not replacing them, and move fragile items away from the work zone. Our team protects floors and furniture, and removes the old units and packaging when the job is done.
Can windows & doors be customized for unusual sizes or shapes?+
In most cases, yes. Arches, angled tops, oversized openings and out-of-square frames are measured individually and made or ordered to fit. Bring us the awkward opening — it is usually the one that benefits most from a custom solution.
What information helps my quote be accurate?+
Rough measurements (width × height in inches), a photo of each opening, and a note about what you want to change. Send those when you call (469) 730-0292 and your written quote will be faster and closer to the final number.
What happens if something is not right after the job?+
Call us. Fred's Screens stands behind its work: if something we supplied or installed is not right, we come back and make it right. That is how a local business keeps its name — one fixed problem at a time.
