McAllen Elite Windows covers the same range of work in La Grulla that we do in McAllen — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:

• Picture & Architectural Windows — Picture windows are the cheapest square footage of glass you can buy and the tightest-sealing unit in any catalog, because nothing about them moves. In McAllen that cuts both ways, since a large fixed lite on a west elevation is also the fastest way to turn a room into an oven, so we spec the low-E coating and the shading strategy before we spec the glass size.
• Egress Windows — Egress windows are the line item that stops a McAllen garage conversion or added bedroom from passing inspection, and the number that decides it is net clear opening: the actual hole a person can climb through, which is always smaller than the window size printed on your invoice. The numbers: 5.7 square feet of net clear opening, then 24 inches of height, 20 inches of width, and a bottom edge no higher than 44 inches.
• Window Tinting & Solar Film — Window tinting is film applied to glass you already own, and in McAllen it is the fastest way to cut solar heat gain on a west-facing room without replacing a single window. We install spectrally selective ceramic film that rejects infrared while keeping the room bright, and we tell you up front when a film will void your window glass warranty.
• Window Screens & Solar Screens — Solar screens give you the highest return per dollar of anything we install in McAllen, because they are exterior mesh that stops sunlight before it ever reaches the glass, which beats every interior treatment for the simple reason that the heat never gets inside in the first place. We build them to your openings in dense shade-cloth mesh, and we rescreen ordinary insect screens on frames that are still square instead of selling you new ones.
• French Doors — French doors are the best-looking way onto a patio and the easiest door in the catalog to install badly, because the pair sags, the astragal stops meeting, and now there is a draft straight down the middle and a lock that only engages if you lean on it. We hang them square with multi-point hardware and a threshold that genuinely sheds water, and we straighten out the pairs that already dropped.
• Entry Doors — Entry doors are the only part of the house every visitor touches, and on most McAllen tract homes the front door is still the original slab, sun-bleached on the west side, with a threshold that quit sealing a decade ago. We hang insulated fiberglass, steel and stain-grade wood entry units with multi-point hardware, a flashed threshold pan, and sidelites that match the window package.

La Grulla sits in Starr County with a population of roughly about 1,200, on under a square mile between Rio Grande City and Roma, close enough to McAllen that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Rio Grande City Grulla school district campuses, the La Grulla city hall, the US-83 corridor, the small single-story houses along the US-83 corridor.

Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. La Grulla properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Starr County, and a window contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
