Locally Owned First Choice Window Solutions Brings European Tilt-and-Turn Windows to Texas Homes

First Choice Window Solutions, a family-owned window and home exterior company based just north of San Antonio, is expanding its service area south to Corpus Christi and introducing European tilt-and-turn windows, a style common across Europe but rarely offered in Texas. 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."

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."

A downloadable spec sheet on the tilt-and-turn line is attached to this release.

Jonathan grew up working in his father's construction business, which has built fences, patio covers and concrete work for more than 30 years. He later spent years in window sales, traveling constantly for out-of-state companies. After the birth of their third child, he wanted to be home more.

Gabrielle, who worked in multifamily property management and corporate learning and development, started researching and could not find a single locally owned and operated window company in San Antonio. She wrote a business plan, designed the brand, and about a year ago left her corporate job to build the company's back office full-time.

As a locally owned business with no fleet of trucks or network of statewide offices, First Choice passes its lower overhead on to homeowners, offering well-known window brands at lower prices, with professional installation.

"We're not price gouging because we don't need to," Jonathan said on a recent episode of The Building Texas Show. "We don't have 75 trucks in the field or 20 offices across the state. We want people to know they can get a quality, name-brand window at a much lower cost."

Beyond windows, First Choice installs doors, siding and sunrooms, handling every exterior project below the roofline. Roofing and foundation work is handled through its partner, Texas Roof Guardians.

On The Building Texas Show, the owners shared a few signs South Texas homeowners can check on their own:

• Stand next to your windows on a hot afternoon or a cold morning. If you can feel the outside temperature, your windows are not doing their job.

• Watch your energy bill. The couple saw their monthly bill drop from $400-$500 in a rental under 2,000 square feet to $150-$200 in a 3,200-square-foot home with better windows.

• Check for leaks after heavy rain, one of the most common reasons homeowners call.

• Notice humidity, drafts, dust and pollen indoors. Cedar and oak pollen come in through the same gaps as your air conditioning goes out.

• Look at older windows. Single-pane aluminum windows, or older wood windows painted or sealed shut, are strong candidates for replacement.

• Don't assume new means good. Even high-end new construction often ships with builder-grade windows.

"I always tell people to start with the exterior to protect the interior," Jonathan said. "And the best time to replace something is before it fails."

Meet the owners in person

Gabrielle and Jonathan staff their own booth at home shows across the region, with upcoming appearances in November and January. Homeowners can see tilt-and-turn samples in person and talk directly with the owners.
