Texas window companies serve a large market spanning new construction, replacement windows, and energy efficiency upgrades. Whether you manufacture windows, install residential replacements, or handle commercial glazing, there are government programs that may help with manufacturing equipment, energy efficiency partnerships, workforce training, and government contracting.
SBA Lending Programs
SBA 7(a) Loans
SBA 7(a) loans can cover installation equipment, showroom buildout, trucks and trailers, inventory, and working capital for window companies.
SBA 504 Loans
Window companies with manufacturing operations or showroom facilities can use SBA 504 loans for long-term facility acquisition and major equipment purchases.
Energy Efficiency Programs
Utility Rebate Partnerships
Window companies installing energy-efficient products can partner with utility rebate programs. When homeowners and businesses receive utility rebates for energy-efficient windows, it creates a sales advantage for window companies promoting qualifying products.
Federal Energy Tax Credits
Federal energy efficiency tax credits for homeowners who install qualifying energy-efficient windows drive demand for window replacement services. Window companies should understand these credits to help customers maximize their savings.
Manufacturing Tax Exemptions
Window companies with manufacturing operations may qualify for the Texas manufacturing sales tax exemption on production equipment, the Freeport property tax exemption on inventory in transit, and property tax abatements for manufacturing facility investments.
Government Contracting
HUB Certification
Window companies should get HUB certified for preferences on state building renovation and new construction contracts. Learn about HUB certification.
