Awning & Hopper Windows in Dallas, TX
Awning windows hinge at the top and swing outward from the bottom, letting you keep them open during a light Dallas rain without water coming in. Hopper windows flip that design: they hinge at the bottom and tilt inward from the top, which makes them a common choice for basement windows, bathroom openings, and tight spaces where you want ventilation without giving up privacy. Both styles are smaller than standard double-hung or sliding windows, which means they cost less per unit and install faster, but they also demand careful flashing and sealing around the hinges to handle North Texas heat and the occasional hard downpour.
We’re Hale Windows Dallas. Since 2009, we’ve installed and serviced awning and hopper windows across Dallas, from older bungalows in Lakewood to new builds in Frisco and McKinney. Our technicians are background-checked, identity-verified, and photo-badged, and you’ll know their name and see their photo before they ever step onto your property. If you’re considering awning or hopper windows for your home, call us at (361) 203-9040 for a free estimate with a written price before any work begins. You can also learn more about our broader Window Installation services in Dallas.

When You Need Awning & Hopper Windows
Awning and hopper windows solve specific problems. Here are the situations where we most often recommend them to Dallas homeowners:
- High, hard-to-reach windows over a tub or kitchen sink. Awning windows open with a simple crank at the bottom, so you can vent steam and cooking odors without leaning across a counter. We see this constantly in Dallas ranch homes built in the 1970s and 1980s.
- Basement or below-grade openings. Hopper windows open inward and upward, which meets egress code in finished basements and keeps rain and debris from piling up against the exterior vent. In North Texas, where so many homes have partial basements or raised foundations, this is a code-driven need.
- Privacy concerns in tight lots and alley-facing walls. Zero-lot-line construction is common across Dallas neighborhoods like the M Streets and Lower Greenville. A hopper window set high on the wall brings in light and air without giving your neighbor a clear sightline into the room.
- Ventilation in garages, workshops, and utility rooms. These rooms rarely get the same window budget as living areas, but they trap heat and fumes. A small awning window over a workbench or a hopper near the water heater makes a noticeable difference in summer.
- Replacing old jalousie or single-pane vent windows. Many mid-century Dallas homes have narrow jalousie windows that leak air, rattle in wind, and offer zero insulation. Awning windows fit the same rough opening, operate more smoothly, and seal tightly against drafts.
- Hard-to-reach windows that need child-safe or elderly-friendly operation. The crank mechanism on an awning window takes less force than lifting a double-hung sash, which matters in Dallas households with young children, grandparents living in the home, or anyone with shoulder or grip limitations.
If you’re not sure whether an awning or hopper window fits your opening, call us. We’ll help you figure it out before you spend a dollar.
Our Awning & Hopper Windows Process
Every awning or hopper window we install follows the same documented process, so you’re not wondering what happens next. Here’s how it works:
- Measure and quote (free). We come to your home, measure the rough opening precisely, check the condition of the surrounding frame and drywall, and take stock of water drainage patterns around the window. You get a written price before we leave, so the number you see is the number you pay.
- Product selection and sizing. Awning and hopper windows need to be ordered in exact dimensions because they’re less forgiving than oversized double-hungs. We match the opening to the right product from lines like ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass, depending on your style, energy goals, and budget.
- Removal and prep. We remove the old window carefully to preserve the surrounding trim and drywall, then repair or replace any rotted or water-damaged framing. In Dallas’s clay soil, foundation movement can leave window openings out of square, so we shim and square the opening before the new unit goes in.
- Installation, flashing, and sealing. Awning and hopper windows rely on the hinge corners and bottom sill for water protection. We flash all four sides, set the window with expanding foam, and use a high-grade exterior sealant that holds up to Dallas sun and humidity without cracking or peeling.
- Operation check and cleanup. We open and close every unit several times to confirm smooth operation, check the seal with a smoke pen, and walk you through how the crank, lock, and any screens work. We haul away the old window and all debris, and we leave the work area cleaner than we found it.
Jason Burnett often handles our awning and hopper jobs in Dallas. He’s been installing windows in North Texas since 2009 and has a particular eye for sill angles and water drainage details that make the difference between a window that performs for ten years and one that leaks in three.
Awning & Hopper Windows Pricing in Dallas
Here’s what awning and hopper windows typically cost in the Dallas area, based on the jobs we’ve priced over the past three years. These are installed prices, including the window, labor, flashing, interior and exterior trim work, and haul-away:
| Window Style & Size | Price Range (Installed) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Awning window, 24″ × 24″ | $550 – $850 | Basic vinyl or aluminum frame, standard glass |
| Awning window, 36″ × 24″ | $700 – $1,100 | Common over kitchen sinks and workbenches |
| Hopper window, 24″ × 24″ | $500 – $800 | Typical basement or utility-room size |
| Hopper or awning with low-E glass and argon fill | $150 – $300 added per unit | Recommended for south and west-facing Dallas walls |
| Custom-size awning or hopper window | $900 – $2,000+ | Non-standard openings, historic districts, or specialty finishes |
| Replacement frame repair around existing window | $200 – $500 per opening | Rotted sill or water-damaged rough opening |
These ranges aren’t a guarantee, but they’re grounded in what we actually charge in Dallas, not a national average from some formula. The main cost drivers are window size, whether you choose vinyl, aluminum, or thermally broken aluminum, whether you upgrade to low-E glass (a thin coating that blocks heat while letting light through), the condition of the surrounding frame, and how accessible the window is from the inside and outside.
Every estimate is free. You’ll get a written price before any work starts, so there’s no surprise line item at the end. Call (361) 203-9040 and we’ll schedule a time that works for you.
Awning & Hopper Window Brands We Work With
We don’t push one brand on every job. We match the product to the opening, the exposure, and your budget. For awning and hopper windows in Dallas, three lines we commonly use are:
- ES Windows: Their hopper and awning designs are built for high-traffic commercial-to-residential crossover use, which means durable hinges and tighter seals than most residential-only lines. We often spec these for garage and utility-room installations.
- ECO Window Systems: Strong value in aluminum and hurricane-rated configurations. If your Dallas home sits in a wind-exposed position or you simply want an awning window that doesn’t flex in a storm, this is a dependable choice.
- Mr-Glass: Excellent for replacement projects where the rough opening is an odd size and custom fabrication is the only path. They turn around custom orders faster than most, which matters when a window is broken and you’re waiting on a replacement.
We don’t list every brand on every job sheet. We’ll tell you up front which line fits your situation and why, then put that choice in writing with the price.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise
Every awning and hopper window we install is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work is not right in the first year, we make it right, no argument needed. That means if a crank binds, a seal fails, water intrudes, or the window settles out of square, we return and correct it at no charge.
All of our repair and installation work is backed by this documented promise. It’s not a handshake deal. It’s a named guarantee stamped on every job we complete. And it’s one of the reasons Dallas homeowners keep us on their list when something else goes wrong with their windows.
Most of the work we do in Dallas is referral-driven, and much of it starts with a phone call about a specific problem. If you need awning or hopper windows installed, replaced, or repaired, call (361) 203-9040 for a free estimate. Or visit our home page to see everything we handle.
Window Safety and Security: What Dallas Homeowners Should Know
Awning and hopper windows come with their own safety considerations that deserve a mention. Awning windows open outward and upward, which means the bottom edge rises as you crank the handle. If you have a young child who can reach the crank, you need to think about where the opening ends up. We recommend installing the crank handle higher on the frame or adding a removable handle in high-traffic family rooms.
Hopper windows, by contrast, open inward and can be a head-knock hazard in tight spaces if they’re installed low on the wall. We always assess the clearance around the window’s swing path before recommending a hopper, and we’ll tell you straight if a different style is safer for your specific room.
See, our approach to safety isn’t a marketing brochure. It’s just a fact of the trade: every window style has a best and worst application. We tell you which is which for your Dallas home, and then we do the job right.
Awning & Hopper Window Repair in Dallas
We repair awning and hopper windows as well as we install them. The most common repair calls we get in Dallas are:
- Stripped or broken crank mechanisms. Awning windows live and die by their cranks, and ten years of Dallas dust and heat wears them down. We replace the crank assembly and re-lubricate the operator.
- Leaking hinges or top corners. Awning windows that are flashed poorly at the top hinge will let water in at the first sign of a South Dallas rainstorm. We reflash, reseal, and reset the sash.
- Damaged or missing weatherstripping. Hopper windows must be perfectly aligned to seal, and worn gaskets let in dust and heat. We replace with compression gaskets that hold up to Dallas summers.
- Stuck or seized sashes. Older hopper windows can corrode at the hinge and refuse to move. We free the sash, replace the hardware, and reset the closure so it actually closes.
Every repair carries a written guarantee too. If the repair fails, we make a second visit free. That’s not a promise you’ll find in a handyman’s Craigslist ad. And if you’re not sure whether it’s worth repairing versus replacing, we’ll give you an honest take, even if it means telling you the window is past saving.
Call (361) 203-9040 and tell us what’s going on with your window. We’ll give you a straight answer and a written price for the fix.
What Your Dallas Neighbors Ask About Awning & Hopper Windows
These are the questions we hear most often from homeowners in Dallas, and we answer them the same way we’d answer a neighbor.
How much does it cost to install an awning window in Dallas?
Installed awning window prices in Dallas generally run $550 to $1,100 for standard sizes, with larger or custom units reaching $2,000 or more. The exact price depends on the window size, brand, glass package, and the condition of the existing frame. Call (361) 203-9040 for a free written estimate.
Are hopper windows good for hot climates like Dallas?
Hopper windows work fine in Dallas as long as they’re properly weatherproofed and fitted with low-E glass, which is a thin coating that blocks heat while letting light through. We recommend insulated hopper units for basement and utility-room installations where energy efficiency matters as much as ventilation.
Can you replace an old awning window with a hopper window, or vice versa?
Yes, in most cases we can switch window styles as long as the rough opening works or can be modified safely. Awning and hopper windows share similar frame construction, so the conversion is often simpler than switching to a sliding or double-hung unit. We’ll tell you up front if the swap makes sense before you commit.
How long do awning and hopper windows last in Dallas?
Properly installed awning and hopper windows in Dallas typically last 20 to 30 years on vinyl frames and 30 to 40 years on aluminum, depending on sun exposure and how well they’re maintained. South and west-facing walls will show wear sooner from UV exposure, which is why we always recommend low-E glass for those orientations.
Do you offer same-day or emergency window replacement in Dallas?
We offer same-week scheduling for most standard awning and hopper window installations, and we keep a live person on call 24/7 at (361) 203-9040 if you have a broken window or security issue that needs attention now. We’ll give you a real answer, not a voicemail queue.
