First Choice Window Solutions, a family-owned window and home exterior company based in Bulverde, Texas, is expanding its service area south to Corpus Christi and introducing European tilt-and-turn windows to the Texas market. The move follows strong demand at a recent Corpus Christi home show, where the company was one of only three window companies exhibiting and several homeowners signed on after reporting that larger window companies had declined to service their area.
The expansion matters because it brings a product uncommon in Texas to homeowners who have struggled to find local service. Tilt-and-turn windows, made to order in Poland by Oknoplast, offer dual functionality: they tilt inward at the top for secure ventilation or swing fully open like a door for easy cleaning. Multi-point locking seals the window tightly when closed. Available in aluminum and uPVC vinyl frames with 68 color options, including coastal-grade models suited to Gulf Coast conditions, the windows represent a significant upgrade over the sliding and single-hung windows found in most Texas homes. Oknoplast has described Texas as its hardest market to crack, leaving the style largely untapped across the state.
“Coastal Bend homeowners deserve the same quality and attention as anyone in San Antonio,” said Gabrielle Cervantes, co-owner. “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.” Jonathan Cervantes, co-owner, added, “These windows change the whole experience of a home, from how they look to how they operate. It's the newest and most exciting thing we offer.”
The company’s local ownership structure allows it to offer competitive pricing. “We're not price gouging because we don't need to,” Jonathan said on 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.

The owners also shared signs that windows may need replacing: feeling outside temperatures indoors, high energy bills, leaks after heavy rain, drafts, and older single-pane aluminum or painted-shut wood 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.” With upcoming home show appearances in November and January, homeowners can see tilt-and-turn samples in person and speak directly with the owners.
