Why Choose Window World RGV as Your Window Replacement Company in the Rio Grande Valley

If you are new to the Rio Grande Valley, or if you come from a long line of Valley residents one thing is for sure – we have our own needs and challenges when it comes to our home maintenance down South. From regulating our indoor air quality to protecting our home from the long Texas hurricane season, our South Texas region is a special place with unique needs.

If you're unfamiliar with the Rio Grande Valley, also known as the “RGV”, the region is often considered a collection of small-town border communities in South Texas. From McAllen to Brownsville these small communities embrace the duality of culture of the United States of America and Mexico and are at the intersection of growth in Texas.

The population clustered along the RGV includes an estimated 1.29 million according to Urban Edge. However, the “population in the RGV is projected to nearly double by the year 2045 (from 13 million to 2.4 million on the U.S. side), driven by significant employment growth.” With a thriving agricultural industry and the potential incoming of large businesses such as SpaceX in Brownsville and the Port of Brownsville expansion – the RGV region will see an overall rise in economic development from construction to increased housing prices. Current homeowners in South Texas have a unique opportunity to maximize their property investments by upgrading their homes with window replacement options.

In this article, we will discuss the specific needs and challenges that Rio Grande Valley homeowners experience and how Window World Rio Grande Valley can be the solution.

High Temperatures and Sun Exposure

The biggest and most obvious challenge that homeowners in the Valley experience is keeping their homes cool in our extreme South Texas heat. On average the Rio Grande Valley sits around 70 degrees during our winter months and can reach triple digits over the summer months which means our air conditioning systems are working overtime – most of the time. Replacing your windows and doors can have a dramatic impact on increased energy efficiency.

• CHALLENGE: Home Temperature Regulation & Rising Energy Costs – Running your air condition on high while the cool air seeps out of old windows and doors is costing McAllen homeowners hundreds of dollars in utility bills.
• SOLUTION: Energy-Efficient Windows & Doors – From our Double-Hung Windows to our Sliding Patio Doors, our products include multiple panes of glass, and advanced seal protection to keep cool air in, and hot air out. 
• CHALLENGE: UV Protection – UV rays from the sun can cause damage to your home just like it does to the skin without protection causing hundreds of dollars in damage to your furniture and carpets.
• SOLUTION: Energy Star Certified Products – Our Energy Star-rated Window World RGV products maintain a consistent indoor climate through the use of coatings that block harmful UV rays, protecting interior furnishings from fading due to the intense South Texas sunlight.

Privacy

A part of our Hispanic culture down South is spending a lot of time with family and friends – oftentimes hosting at home. Whether it's a Sunday breakfast with barbacoa and the works, or hosting a kids' birthday party – we love to spend time together and prefer to do this without disturbing or getting disturbed by our neighbors.

• CHALLENGE: Noise Control – Standard and traditional windows have a lower price point because they use less and lower grade materials. These single-pane windows and doors with cheap seals cause unwanted noise to enter your home.
• SOLUTION: Advanced Seal Technology – Window World RGV's energy-efficient windows and doors include advanced seal technology which offers better sound insulation, reducing unwanted noise and creating a more peaceful indoor environment.
• CHALLENGE: Window Visibility – Windows without a protective tint don't offer much privacy, oftentimes requiring the homeowners to add costly shades and blinds.
• SOLUTION: Window Tints and Unique Door Configurations – Our vinyl windows and fiberglass doors come in a variety of styles including decorative tints and built-in blind options for our Patio Doors to prevent people from the outside looking in, all while maintaining your visibility to enjoy views from the inside of your home.

Humidity and Air Quality

The Texas Parks & Wildlife website describes the Rio Grande Valley as “an ecosystem found nowhere else in the United States. It is a subtropical environment, which lies further south than any other part of the United States except Hawaii and part of Florida. It is very humid.” We already have to experience sweating from being outside, you shouldn't have to worry about that same issue from the privacy of your home.

• CHALLENGE: Condensation Control – The high humidity in South Texas can lead to condensation on windows, which can cause mold growth and damage to window frames.
• SOLUTION: Air Sealing & Energy Efficient Windows – Our energy-efficient windows are better insulated and designed to seal tightly, reducing the likelihood of condensation and preventing the outdoor air (along with humidity and allergens) from entering the home.

Property Value & Growing City

As we mentioned in the introduction, the Rio Grande Valley region is seeing a boom in economic growth which always results in increased home prices and reselling opportunities for current McAllen homeowners.

• CHALLENGE: Rise of Home Prices – With more people and businesses moving to the Rio Grande Valley region, the costs of homes and home window replacement services in the Rio Grande Valley will continue to rise.
• SOLUTION: Increase Your Home Value Through Upgrades – To stay competitive among other homes in the McAllen area, consider upgrading your windows and doors to Window World products. An exterior home upgrade may be the key resale selling point that is seen as a modern and desirable feature by potential buyers.

Storm Protection

Due to our close proximity to the Texas coast, regions like South Padre Island, Port Aransas, and Brownsville have to stay prepared for hurricane season weather. Protecting your home from these climates can be costly and time-consuming if you choose to go the traditional route of boarding up your windows and doors for each storm. Instead, consider investing in longer-term solutions like an exterior upgrade.

• CHALLENGE: Durability – Standard windows are not equipped to withstand the hurricane season in Texas that can last for several months. Windows can shatter under the pressure of high winds and rain, costing you thousands of dollars in repairs.
• SOLUTION: Impact Windows - Our high-impact windows and Doors and designed with stronger materials, providing better protection against the severe weather conditions that can occur in South Texas, such as hurricanes and strong winds. Explore our Impact windows and doors here.
