Window in Roma, TX
Roma was established in 1821 in what was then the Spanish province of Nuevo Santander, at a river crossing known as El Paso de la Mula, and it incorporated in 1936. About 11,600 people live on roughly six square miles of bluff above the river. Its distinction is architectural.
The Roma National Historic Landmark District holds more than thirty structures built before 1900, including the old Customs House, the 1853 John Vale and Noah Cox House, Ramirez Hall and Our Lady of Refuge Church. They survived because the railroads bypassed the town and the economy stalled, accidentally preserving the whole streetscape.
The Roma Bluffs World Birding Center sits on Portsheller Street.
A National Historic Landmark district is a real constraint rather than a decoration, and we treat it that way.
Inside the district the appropriate replacement is wood or clad-wood sash with simulated divided lites and correct proportions, and the honest advice is often restoration rather than replacement, because an original sash with a sound frame can be reglazed, reweatherstripped and rebuilt for less than a new unit and without altering the elevation at all.
Outside the district, ordinary modern work applies. What does not change anywhere in Roma is the sun on that bluff, so even a period-correct clad-wood unit gets a low solar heat gain coating.
About Roma, TX — and why local matters here
Roma sits in Starr County with a population of roughly about 11,600, over roughly 6 square miles on the bluff above the river, close enough to McAllen that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Roma National Historic Landmark District, the old Customs House, Our Lady of Refuge Church, the Roma Bluffs World Birding Center, the pre-1900 masonry buildings inside the landmark district.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Roma 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.

What we take on in Roma
McAllen Elite Windows covers the same range of work in Roma that we do in McAllen — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Low-E Glass Window Installation — Two products get sold against each other in this market and they are not the same thing. A coating sealed inside a new glass unit, and a film applied to glass you already own.
- Retrofit Windows — McAllen sits outside the designated catastrophe area. Hidalgo is not one of the fourteen coastal counties the windstorm program names, so a replacement window here needs no certificate of compliance and no inspection by the insurance department.
- Sliding Window Door Replacement — Sliding windows are the default in McAllen, and it is not close. They dominate every era of local stock for three plain reasons: they are cheap to build, they suit the wide low openings the tract plans favor, and they need no swing clearance on a lot that sits close to the neighbor.
- Storefront Window Installation — Before anybody measures a frontage in McAllen there is a question worth answering first: who controls the ground you have to stand on in order to work on it. Downtown, the answer is the city.
- Storm Doors — Storm doors in McAllen are not doing the job they do up north, because nobody here needs a second thermal barrier at the front door in February. What a storm door is genuinely worth down here is ventilation during the handful of pleasant weeks, shade on a west-facing entry, and keeping mosquitoes out while the front door stands wide open.
- Triple-Pane Window Installation — Hidalgo County is the one place on this site where a third pane has no mechanism behind it at all. The code deleted the requirement it would satisfy.
