Binswanger Glass

North of downtown, on North Walnut Street · Quote based

Known for Home windows, shower glass, storefronts, and auto glass from one Sherman address

Binswanger is a national company with a real storefront in Sherman, which is a rarer combination here than it sounds. The branch on North Walnut handles residential window repair and replacement, shower enclosures, mirrors, tabletops and shelves on the home side, then storefronts, interior partitions, curtain wall, security glass, and emergency board-up on the commercial side, plus auto glass.

In a town this size, that breadth is the practical advantage. One phone call covers a cracked pane in a bedroom, a fogged insulated unit in the living room, and a new frameless shower door, without lining up three different contractors. The company dates itself to 1872 and lists 61 locations across 14 states, so the glass supply behind the Sherman branch is deeper than a one-truck shop can match.

Go-to order or tip: Measure the glass, not the frame, before you call, and photograph any stamp in the corner of the existing unit. Insulated units are ordered to size, so the measurement is what sets your lead time.

Hours
Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed weekends

Budget Glass

North Rusk Street, near downtown · Quote based

Known for The long-running independent glass shop inside Sherman city limits

Budget Glass has been at the same North Rusk address long enough that most people in Sherman give directions by it. Business records put its start date at 1990. The work splits across auto glass, residential windows, shower doors, mirrors, and commercial storefronts, and the shop bills through the major insurance carriers on the auto side.

Two things to plan around. The shop closes for lunch, which catches people who drive over on a break, and it is closed weekends. Call ahead rather than turning up with a broken sash.

Go-to order or tip: If your job is a single fogged or broken insulated unit rather than a whole window, ask for a glass-only replacement. Most homes in Sherman do not need the frame pulled.

Hours
Weekdays, morning and afternoon, with the shop closed over the lunch hour

Advanced Windows Doors & More

Van Alstyne, about 20 minutes south of Sherman on US 75 · Quote based

Known for Whole-house vinyl window replacement from a dedicated window and door contractor

This is the pick if the job is every window in the house rather than one pane. Advanced is a dedicated residential windows, doors, siding, and gutters contractor working in energy efficient vinyl, and it is the only company on this list whose entire business is replacement rather than glass repair. Owner Marny Webster founded it in 2016 and the company describes itself as woman owned and veteran focused.

The review record is the deepest of any window specialist in the corridor. Customers consistently describe a no pressure sales visit that walks through the product spec rather than a closing pitch, and the company holds a Better Business Bureau file and a long Angi history. It is based in Van Alstyne, not Sherman, which we are stating plainly because plenty of results for this search hide the same fact.

Go-to order or tip: Ask for the U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient on the exact window being quoted, in writing. Those two numbers, not the brand name, are what change your August electric bill.

LGS Windows

Denison, about 15 minutes north of Sherman · Quote based

Known for A family-run residential window and shower glass shop covering all of Grayson County

LGS is the residential arm of a family business that runs its commercial work under the Lindsay Glass Systems name, which means the crew doing your bathroom also builds glass for buildings. The residential side covers window installation, glass service, and custom framed and frameless shower enclosures.

The service area is genuinely regional rather than a landing page claim, reaching from Sherman and the rest of Grayson County down to Anna, McKinney, and Allen, east to Bonham, and north into Durant. Its Better Business Bureau file was opened in 2020 and carries no rating yet, so lean on the Facebook and Yelp record instead, which is short and uniformly positive.

Go-to order or tip: Frameless shower glass is where this shop is strongest. Bring the tile layout and the drain position to the estimate, because both change what is buildable.

Glass And Window Solutions

East Sherman, on East Thomas Street · Quote based

Known for Affordable vinyl window packages from a small shop inside Sherman

One of only four window and glass companies with a street address inside Sherman city limits. The work runs across vinyl window installation, glass repair, shower enclosures, custom mirrors, and architectural storefront glass, so it covers both a house and a small commercial front on the square.

The independent review record on Yelp and Nextdoor is short but consistent, and it points at the same two things every time, speed and price, including from a customer who brought the shop a job over in Paris. It is a small operation, and the older shops above it have far longer paper trails, which is exactly why it sits at number five rather than higher.

Go-to order or tip: Get the quote itemized between glass, frame, and labor. On a small shop that is the fastest way to compare a vinyl package against a big-box installer bid.

NorTex Glass & Mirror

South Sherman, on FM 1417 · Quote based

Known for Commercial glazing, curtain wall, and storefronts for Sherman's building boom

Trading as Grayson County Glass Inc, NorTex is the serious commercial glazier in town. Its Better Business Bureau file records the business starting in June 2004 and carries an A+ rating without accreditation, and it is a member of the National Glass Association. The company runs offices in Sherman and McKinney under president Josh Reid.

The published work is design, engineering, fabrication, and installation of curtain wall, storefronts, free standing glass partitions, automatic entrances, sliding mall doors, windows, and decorative glazing. Older listings also describe residential shower enclosures, mirrors, and replacement windows and patio doors with a one year workmanship warranty and a ten year insulated glass warranty. The current site leads with commercial work, so call first if your job is a house.

Go-to order or tip: If you are building or fitting out anything on the US 75 corridor, get NorTex on the bid list early. Curtain wall lead times, not install crews, are what hold projects up.

Red River Glass & Mirror

Pottsboro, about 20 minutes northwest of Sherman · Quote based

Known for The only Saturday morning glass counter in the Sherman area

Every other shop on this list is weekdays only. Red River opens Saturday morning and lists emergency service around the clock, which is the entire reason to have its number saved. A window broken Friday night is otherwise a weekend of cardboard and tape.

The scope is plate and window glass repair and replacement, mirrors, shower doors and enclosures, storefronts, and windows, from a shop on FM 120 near Lake Texoma. It lists Sherman, Denison, Whitesboro, and Sadler as its service area, so the drive is on their side rather than yours.

Go-to order or tip: Save the number now, not after the break. Emergency glass calls get quoted by phone, so have the opening measured and photographed before you dial.

Hours
Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., with emergency service around the clock

Budget Windows of Texoma

Bells, about 12 miles east of Sherman on US 82 · Quote based

Known for Custom vinyl replacement windows priced for a whole house at once

A small Texoma shop doing custom vinyl window replacement across Sherman, Denison, and the surrounding towns from a storefront on Broadway in Bells. Windows are the whole business, which is worth something when the alternative is a general remodeler subbing the work out.

Its published hours are unusually wide, listed as 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, which in practice reads as an appointment based operation rather than a walk-in counter. Treat the phone number as the front door. It sits low on this list not because of anything negative but because the independent record is thinner than the older shops above it.

Go-to order or tip: Ask whether the quote is for a full frame replacement or an insert into the existing frame. On older Grayson County houses the difference is thousands of dollars.

Denison Glass & Mirror

Downtown Denison, on West Main Street · Quote based

Known for The largest and oldest glass company in Grayson County, built for contract work

Established in 1947 and still headquartered on West Main in Denison, this is a contract glazing firm that grew out of a small-town glass shop into a company working across twenty states plus Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, with a satellite office in Dallas. Its work is retail, office, multilevel residential, and public construction.

This is not the number to call about one broken pane in a bedroom. It is the number to call if you are putting glass on a building in Sherman, and for that job it is the most experienced firm within reach of the city.

Go-to order or tip: For a commercial project, ask Denison Glass and NorTex both to bid. They are the two firms in the county with real fabrication capacity, and the spread between them tells you what the job is actually worth.

How did we pick these?

We started with every window and glass company that has a street address inside Sherman, and found four. That is not enough for a useful list, so we widened to Grayson County and the US 75 corridor, and then said plainly where each company is actually based. Four of the nine are in Sherman. The rest are between 12 and 25 minutes out, in Denison, Pottsboro, Bells, and Van Alstyne.

For each one we confirmed the street address and phone number matched across at least two independent sources, checked the Better Business Bureau file where one exists, and read the review record on Yelp, Angi, Nextdoor, and Facebook. We deliberately publish no review counts or star averages, because the aggregators disagree with each other by an order of magnitude on almost every business here.

What got cut is as informative as what stayed. Window World of DFW, Lone Wolf Exteriors, and Alpha One Window and Door all rank for Sherman searches and are all headquartered somewhere else, running service-area pages. Sherman Window Replacement and Sherman Windows both own Sherman-sounding domains and neither publishes a verifiable street address, so both are out. Eva's All Seasons Glass and GlassConnect, both in Van Alstyne, are real businesses that genuinely serve Sherman, and we left them off only because their independent record is shorter than everything that made the list.

One disclosure. Glass And Window Solutions at number five is a Hello Web Designs client, meaning we built their website. It earned the spot as one of only four window companies with a street address inside the city, and it sits below four companies with longer and deeper paper trails.

What should you know before you go?

Almost every glass shop in Grayson County is weekdays only, and Budget Glass also shuts over lunch. Red River in Pottsboro is the single exception with Saturday morning hours. If a window breaks on a Friday evening, that is the number that matters.

The other thing worth understanding before you call anybody is that a glass shop and a window company are not the same business. A glass shop replaces the insulated unit inside a frame that is still sound, which is most fogged and cracked windows. A window company pulls the frame and puts in a new one, which is what you want when the sashes no longer seal or you are redoing the whole house. Calling the wrong one wastes a week.

Company Based in Best for Saturday
Binswanger Glass Sherman Home, commercial, and auto glass in one call No
Budget Glass Sherman Independent glass and shower doors No
Advanced Windows Doors & More Van Alstyne Whole-house vinyl replacement No
LGS Windows Denison Residential windows and frameless shower glass No
Glass And Window Solutions Sherman Affordable vinyl window packages No
NorTex Glass & Mirror Sherman Commercial glazing and storefronts No
Red River Glass & Mirror Pottsboro Weekend and emergency glass Yes, to 1 p.m.
Budget Windows of Texoma Bells Custom vinyl replacement windows By appointment
Denison Glass & Mirror Denison Large contract glazing projects No

Book the measure visit earlier than you think you need to. Sherman is in the middle of a building run driven by the Texas Instruments and GlobalWafers plants, and installer calendars in Grayson County have tightened accordingly. Every insulated unit and vinyl window is made to the measurement taken at your house, so the lead time starts at the measure, not at the quote.

What should you do next?

If a pane is broken or fogged, call Binswanger or Budget Glass and ask for a glass-only replacement before anyone talks you into new frames. If it is the whole house, get quotes from Advanced Windows Doors & More and Budget Windows of Texoma, and ask both for the U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient in writing on the specific window they are selling you. Those two numbers are the ones that show up on your August bill.

For anything commercial on the US 75 corridor, put NorTex and Denison Glass on the same bid list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Four have a street address inside Sherman city limits. Binswanger Glass on North Walnut, Budget Glass on North Rusk, NorTex Glass & Mirror on FM 1417, and Glass And Window Solutions on East Thomas. Everything else that ranks for this search is either based elsewhere in Grayson County or is a service-area page run from Dallas or Fort Worth.

No. Texas does not license window or glass installers at the state level, so there is no lookup to check a contractor against. That makes the ordinary paper trail matter more. A verifiable street address, a phone number that matches across sources, and a Better Business Bureau file are the three things worth confirming before anyone measures your house.

Replacing just the insulated glass unit is far cheaper when the frame and hardware are sound, which is the usual case for a fogged or cracked pane. Full window replacement makes sense when the frames are rotted, the sashes no longer seal, or you are changing the whole house for energy performance. Any of the glass shops here will tell you which situation you are in.

Red River Glass & Mirror in Pottsboro is the only one on this list with published Saturday hours, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and it also lists emergency service around the clock. The Sherman shops are all weekdays only, and Budget Glass also closes over lunch.

Insulated glass units and vinyl windows are both made to the measurement taken at your house, so the clock starts after the measure visit rather than after the quote. Sherman installers are busy right now because of the housing built around the Texas Instruments and GlobalWafers plants, so ask for the lead time in writing and book the measure visit early.

Home Depot and Lowe's both sell installed window packages out of their Sherman stores and subcontract the labor to local crews. The pricing can be competitive on a standard size, but you do not choose the crew and the warranty runs through the retailer. If you want to know who is on your roof line, the independent shops on this list will tell you.
