First Choice Window Solutions, a family-owned window and home exterior company based in Bulverde, Texas, just north of San Antonio, is expanding its service area south to Corpus Christi and introducing European tilt-and-turn windows to the Texas market. The company now serves homeowners from San Antonio through the Coastal Bend and every community in between.
The expansion follows strong demand at a recent Corpus Christi home show, where First Choice was one of only three window companies exhibiting. Several homeowners signed on after telling the owners that larger window companies had declined to service their area. "Coastal Bend homeowners deserve the same quality and attention as anyone in San Antonio," said Gabrielle Cervantes, co-owner of First Choice Window Solutions. "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."
The move matters for residents in the Coastal Bend, who have often been overlooked by larger window firms. By offering local, personalized service, First Choice aims to fill a gap in the market, providing homeowners with access to quality products and professional installation that were previously hard to obtain.
First Choice now offers tilt-and-turn windows made to order in Poland by Oknoplast. Unlike the sliding and single-hung windows found in most Texas homes, a tilt-and-turn window does two things with one handle: it 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. The windows 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," said Jonathan Cervantes, co-owner. "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."
The introduction of tilt-and-turn windows could have broader implications for the Texas window industry, which has traditionally been dominated by less versatile styles. These windows offer enhanced energy efficiency, security, and ease of use, potentially raising the bar for residential construction and renovation in the region.
Founded by Jonathan and Gabrielle Cervantes, First Choice Window Solutions is a locally owned business with no fleet of trucks or network of statewide offices, allowing it to pass lower overhead on to homeowners. The company installs replacement windows, doors, siding and sunrooms, including European tilt-and-turn windows from Oknoplast and name-brand products.
