Every home in Lubbock has its own personality, but many are built with “standard” builder-grade fixtures that don’t always do the architecture justice. When you decide to move beyond the big-box store options, you enter the world of custom design—where your home’s aesthetic and efficiency are limited only by your imagination.
At Reid It Right Construction, we specialize in the selection and installation of custom windows and doors. Whether you are looking to create a grand entrance or transform a dark room with a massive wall of glass, our team ensures your custom project is handled with precision.
1. Why Go Custom?
“Standard” sizes often require you to compromise on your vision or settle for filler materials to make a unit fit. Customization offers three distinct advantages:
The Perfect Fit: We measure to the fraction of an inch, ensuring a tighter seal and better energy performance than a “close-enough” standard size.
Architectural Harmony: You can match the grid patterns, frame colors, and hardware of your new installations to the existing character of your home.
Specific Functionality: Need a window that swings out (casement) in a spot where a sliding window won’t work? Customization allows you to choose exactly how your home breathes and moves.
2. Custom Window Styles to Consider
Beyond the traditional double-hung window, custom shapes can redefine your home’s curb appeal:
Picture and Geometric Windows: Large, fixed panes of glass that act as a frame for the West Texas sky. These can be arched, circular, or even triangular to fit unique rooflines.
Bay and Bow Windows: These custom configurations “reach out” into your yard, creating extra interior space and a panoramic view.
Black Frame Windows: A high-demand custom choice in Lubbock right now, providing a modern, “industrial-chic” look that pops against brick or siding.

3. Making a Statement with Custom Doors
Your front door is the first thing guests see. A custom entryway says more about your home than any other feature.
Oversized Entryways: We can install taller or wider doors that create a sense of grandeur and make moving furniture a breeze.
Material Mix: Choose from high-performance fiberglass that mimics the grain of mahogany, or sleek iron-and-glass combinations for a contemporary feel.
Sidelights and Transoms: Customize the glass surrounding your door to let in natural light while maintaining your privacy with frosted or seeded glass patterns.
4. High-Efficiency Customization
Custom doesn’t just mean “pretty.” In the Lubbock climate, it means choosing the right glass package for each side of your house.
Solar Tuning: We can help you choose a higher Low-E rating for your west-facing windows to block the afternoon sun, while using a different glass for the north side to maximize natural light.
Hardware Finishes: From oil-rubbed bronze to brushed nickel, custom hardware ensures your locks and handles are as durable as they are beautiful.
The Reid It Right Custom Experience
At Reid It Right Construction, we believe that a custom project deserves a custom experience. We don’t use a “one-size-fits-all” approach because no two homes in Lubbock are the same. From the initial measurement to the final piece of trim, we work with you to ensure your new windows and doors are exactly what you envisioned.
