What should a Grapevine homeowner know before ordering glass?
Grapevine is a city with a real downtown. The city runs a Historic Preservation Commission, and it has five local historic districts plus the Historic Township District. If your house or storefront sits in one, the city says a Certificate of Appropriateness comes first for exterior changes, and it lists windows and doors among them.
That makes the order of operations matter. Find out whether your address is in a district, get the city's answer on any exterior glass, then call us for a measured quote. Interior glass, such as a frameless shower door or a vanity mirror, is a different job from changing a window on the street side of the house.
Glass By Rawls is a family owned shop in Crowley, and Grapevine is one of our main areas, with Colleyville, Euless and Flower Mound.
- Historic Main StreetThe Main Street Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places, and its buildings have a turn-of-the-century look.
- Lake GrapevineThe lake was built by the US Army Corps of Engineers and draws more than a million visitors a year, according to the city's visitor bureau.
- DFW AirportThe visitor bureau says Grapevine is home to DFW Airport, and that the city donated nearly 8,000 acres to build it.
- City reviewExterior work in a local historic district needs an approved Certificate of Appropriateness first.
Homes in the historic districts, and homes outside them
Older homes and buildings near Main Street
The city's design guidelines for the Main Street district have their own chapters on windows, doors and storefronts. Before we change glass that faces the street, we suggest you ask the city's Historic Preservation office what has to be reviewed.
Once you know what is allowed, we can quote the glass to match. A foggy window, for example, can often be handled by replacing only the failed insulated glass unit, but whether that work needs city sign-off is for the city to say.
Interior glass, and homes outside a district
The review the city describes covers exterior alterations, demolition and new construction. Shower enclosures, bathroom and closet mirrors, and cabinet glass sit inside the house, so they are a different matter. Not sure about your property? Check the city's historic districts map first.
Whatever the age of the house, we measure the opening, talk through frameless or semi-frameless options, and give you a free estimate before any glass is cut.
We have not verified building ages or districts for specific Grapevine streets, so this is a guide, not a map. The city's Historic Preservation office is the source for what applies to your address.

Questions Grapevine homeowners ask
Does replacing a window in a Grapevine historic district need city approval?
Usually yes. The City of Grapevine says a Certificate of Appropriateness must be approved before exterior changes in a local historic district, and it names windows and doors. Check the city's historic districts map for your address and ask the Historic Preservation office first. Then we can quote the glass to match.
Does a frameless shower or mirror in an older Grapevine home need that review?
The review the city describes covers exterior alterations, demolition and new construction. A frameless shower door or vanity mirror is installed inside the house, so it is a different kind of job. Rules can differ by property, so if you are unsure, ask the city before we schedule.
Does a National Register listing mean my Grapevine building needs review?
Not by itself. The city's FAQ says a National Register listing has no connection to its Historic Preservation Commission and does not trigger exterior review, unless the owner uses preservation tax credits. A city historic district or landmark is what triggers it, so confirm which one applies to you.
Can a foggy window in Grapevine be fixed without replacing the whole window?
Often, yes. Fog between the panes means the sealed glass unit has failed, so we replace that unit and keep the window frame. On a property in a historic district, ask the city whether that exterior work needs review before we schedule it.
