Why Highland Park / University Park Homeowners Are Calling Now

Not a generic old-windows story — here’s what’s actually happening to houses in this city.

Highland Park and University Park carry the oldest housing stock in our DFW service area by a wide margin. In Highland Park, more than a third of homes were built before 1950 — nearly 28% before 1940 alone. University Park is a bit newer on the whole but still carries a real pre-1950 core, especially around Volk Estates and the blocks nearest SMU.

A lot of Southlake or Colleyville homes need new windows because a modern double-pane seal finally failed after 15 to 20 years. That’s not usually the story here. A meaningful share of original windows in this market — especially in the Tudor, French Eclectic, and period-revival homes in the historic core — are true single-pane wood or steel casement units that were never insulated glass to begin with. The fix isn’t just putting in a new window; it’s often a period-appropriate replacement that keeps the divided-lite pattern and profile the house was designed around.

The same Blackland Prairie expansive clay that moves foundations across North Texas sits under the Park Cities too — but here it’s had 60, 80, sometimes over 100 years to work on a foundation instead of 25 or 30. That means more cumulative frame movement to account for during install.

Local Conditions

What We See in Highland Park / University Park

  • Clay soil, compounded by age — the same expansive-clay movement affecting all of North Texas has had decades longer to act on Park Cities homes, which is part of why older frames here are often further out of square.
  • Turtle Creek flood corridor — portions of both cities sit near FEMA-designated flood zones along Turtle Creek, which is genuinely relevant to ground-level door and sill material choices in the affected blocks. We’ll flag it during your in-home assessment if it applies to your property.
  • Century-old materials meeting modern climate demands — original steel casements and single-pane wood windows were never built for today’s energy expectations. The fix is a replacement that respects the home’s era while actually performing in DFW’s long summers.

Park Cities Windows

Replacement Windows in Highland Park and University Park, TX

Two separate cities, two separate processes, one crew that knows both.

Replacement windows in Highland Park, TX and replacement windows in University Park, TX are genuinely different projects, because these are separately incorporated cities with their own review processes.

The Park Cities carry the oldest housing stock we work on, which means period-appropriate replacement — matching divided-lite patterns and original profiles — matters as much as the energy rating. As a North Texas windows company that works inside Highland Park’s Design Review process, we handle that rather than working around it.

One Less Thing

Permits, Handled

Highland Park and University Park are separately incorporated municipalities, and they don’t share a permitting process. In Highland Park, any exterior work — including window and door replacement — requires Design Review through the Town, with an added layer of Historic Advisory Committee review if your home is in the Local Historic District. In University Park, window replacement generally requires a standard building permit, confirmed case-by-case with the City’s Community Development Department. We handle the correct process for your specific address — you don’t have to figure out which city’s rules apply.
