A family-owned window and home exterior company based in Bulverde, Texas, is expanding its service area south to Corpus Christi and introducing European tilt-and-turn windows to a market where the style is rarely available. First Choice Window Solutions, which already serves San Antonio and surrounding communities, now covers homeowners from San Antonio through the Coastal Bend and every community in between. The move follows strong demand at a recent Corpus Christi home show, where the company was one of only three window companies exhibiting and several homeowners signed on after saying larger window companies had declined to service their area.
The expansion matters because it brings a competitive, locally owned option to a region where homeowners have struggled to get attention from big window firms. "Coastal Bend homeowners deserve the same quality and attention as anyone in San Antonio," said Gabrielle Cervantes, co-owner. "We kept hearing from people who couldn't even get a big company to come out to their house. We'll come out, we'll educate you, and we'll install it right." As a locally owned business with no fleet of trucks or network of statewide offices, First Choice passes its lower overhead on to homeowners, offering well-known window brands at lower prices, with professional installation. "We're not price gouging because we don't need to," Jonathan Cervantes, co-owner, said on The Building Texas Show. "We don't have 75 trucks in the field or 20 offices across the state. We want people to know they can get a quality, name-brand window at a much lower cost."
The introduction of tilt-and-turn windows is equally significant. Made to order in Poland by Oknoplast, these windows operate with a single handle that tilts inward at the top for secure ventilation or swings fully open like a door for easy cleaning and fresh air. Multi-point locking seals the window tightly when closed. They are available in aluminum and uPVC vinyl frames, in 68 color options, with coastal-grade models suited to Gulf Coast conditions. The manufacturer has described Texas as its hardest market to crack, which leaves the style largely untapped across the state. "These windows change the whole experience of a home, from how they look to how they operate," Jonathan Cervantes said. "It's the newest and most exciting thing we offer. And if a homeowner isn't ready for a European window, we carry a full range of other options, including the name brands people already know and trust."
For Texas homeowners, the announcement offers a practical path to improved energy efficiency and comfort. On The Building Texas Show, the owners shared signs that windows may be costing money: feeling outside temperature near windows, high energy bills, leaks after heavy rain, indoor humidity, drafts, dust and pollen, and older single-pane aluminum or painted-shut wood windows. They noted their own monthly bill dropped from $400-$500 in a rental under 2,000 square feet to $150-$200 in a 3,200-square-foot home with better windows. "I always tell people to start with the exterior to protect the interior," Jonathan said. "And the best time to replace something is before it fails."
