Every Window Style for Your Home, Installed by North Texas Experts Since 1982
Not every window works in every room. The style you choose affects how much light a space captures, how well your bedroom blocks a noisy street, and how hard your AC works every July. At Woodruff Windows, we help McKinney homeowners match the right window to every opening, then install it the way it was designed to perform.
Find the Right Window for Every Room in Your Home
Your home’s architecture, your ventilation needs, and the way each room gets used all point toward a specific window style. Browse what we carry. When you’re ready, we’ll help you narrow it down during a free in-home consultation.
Double Hung
Double-Hung Windows

Single Hung
Single-Hung Windows

Casement
Casement Windows
Hinged at the side and cranked open outward, casements catch cross-breezes and compress shut tighter than any sliding style. The right call for kitchens, bathrooms, and spots where airflow and a weather-tight seal both matter.

0.24 – 0.29 *
SHGC:
0.21 – 0.25 *

Awning
Awning Windows
Hinged at the top and swinging outward, awning windows stay open in the rain. The frame acts as a built-in canopy. A practical choice for bathrooms, basements, and rooms where fresh air shouldn’t depend on the forecast.

Slider
Slider Windows
Sashes glide horizontally on a track. No swing clearance, no awkward reach. The practical solution for wide openings, rooms with furniture against the wall, or anywhere a swinging sash just won’t work.

Picture
Picture Windows
Fixed and non-operable, picture windows do one thing well: unobstructed light and views. No moving hardware means some of the best energy ratings in the lineup. Pair them with operable windows on either side when you also need airflow.

Bay & Bow
Bay & Bow Windows
Bay configurations project outward with a fixed center and angled side windows. Bow designs curve gently across four or more panels. Either way, you’re adding depth and a focal point that changes how a room reads from inside and out.

Geometric & Specialty
Geometric & Specialty Windows

Sliding Patio Door
Sliding Patio Doors
One panel slides, one stays fixed. Smooth track operation, low-profile threshold, and a wide glass area that opens your living space to the backyard without eating into your floor plan. The most popular patio door in McKinney, and it earns that reputation every summer.

What to Expect After Booking.
We’ve worked through this process across 40-plus years and more than 10,000 installations. The goal at every step is a home that feels less like a job site and more like yours.
Step 1
In-Home Consultation
A zero-pressure meeting at your home. We bring samples, assess your current windows, and hand you a precise to-the-penny quote. No countdown deals, no pitch deck, no one following up seventeen times.
Step 2
Technical Measurement
Our master installer comes out to take exact measurements on every opening, accounting for your home’s framing, any settling over the years, and the quirks that come with North Texas construction. A perfect fit on the first try, not a callback.
Step 3
Custom Manufacturing
Your windows are built to order at the manufacturer’s facility, sized to your home’s exact specifications. Most projects run 4 to 8 weeks in production depending on the brand and configuration you choose.
Step 4
1-Day Installation
Our in-house crew removes the old windows, installs the new ones, handles all trim work and paint matching, and leaves the site clean. For most homes that’s a single day. We walk every window with you before we pack up.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which window style is right for each room?
That’s the most common question we hear, and it’s exactly what the in-home consultation is designed to answer. The short version: double-hung windows work in most rooms, casements are better for tight spots and serious airflow, sliders are the right call for wide openings with limited clearance, and picture windows belong wherever your view deserves center stage. We’ll look at every opening with you and walk through the tradeoffs before you commit to anything.
What’s the difference between U-Factor and SHGC, and do I actually need to care?
In North Texas, yes. U-Factor measures how well a window holds interior temperature stable against the cold outside. Lower is better for insulation. SHGC measures how much solar heat passes through the glass. In July and August, a lower SHGC means a lighter load on your AC and a lower bill at the end of the month. Both numbers matter here, and we’ll explain what each one means for your specific home during your consultation.
How long does a typical window replacement actually take from start to finish?
Most projects run 5 to 8 weeks from the day you approve the quote to the day our crew finishes. The bulk of that window is custom manufacturing. The installation itself is 1 to 3 days depending on how many openings you’re replacing. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your consultation so you can plan around it.
Do your estimates include everything, installation, trim, cleanup?
Yes. Your Woodruff estimate covers windows, professional installation by our in-house crew, insulation, all trim work, paint matching, site cleanup, and a final walkthrough. We don’t surface fees on installation day or leave you with a punch list to manage. The number we quote is the number you pay.
