HOUSTON – Step outside on a Houston summer day and you can feel it instantly—the thick humidity, the relentless sun, the heat radiating off every surface… including your windows.
Inside your home, that same heat is quietly taking a toll.
While windows in other parts of the country can last up to 40 years, Houston’s intense climate can cut that lifespan nearly in half. Many homeowners here begin to see windows aging prematurely in as little as 15 to 20 years, as heat, UV exposure, humidity, and storms gradually break down seals, frames, and overall performance.
Which is why choosing windows that are built for Houston isn’t just a design decision—it’s an investment that can save homeowners thousands over time.
A Showroom That Feels Like a Design Destination
Step inside the Pella Windows & Doors of Houston showroom, and it feels less like a retail space—and more like a curated design experience.
From expansive sliding glass doors that blur the line between indoors and out, to classic architectural window styles that elevate a home’s character, the showroom is designed to inspire. Every display is intentional, giving homeowners, designers, and builders the chance to see—and feel—the difference between product lines.
It’s not just about replacing a window. It’s about reimagining how your home looks, feels, and functions.
Built for Houston Living
Of course, in Houston, performance matters just as much as aesthetics.
That’s where modern glass technology comes in. Many of today’s windows are designed with advanced, energy-efficient glass—like Low-E (low-emissivity) glass—which helps reflect heat away from your home while still allowing natural light to pour in.
The result?
A brighter space that stays cooler—and potentially lower energy bills in a climate where air conditioning does a lot of heavy lifting.
A Family Business with Deep Roots
Behind Pella Windows & Doors of Houston is a story that’s just as compelling as the products themselves.
The business is led by Eric Smithey, Vice President and General Manager, and Agnes Smithey, President and CEO and principal owner. Agnes holds a notable distinction—she is the first female owner of a Pella business, a milestone that reflects both leadership and legacy within the company.
And for the Smithey family, this isn’t just a business—it’s personal.
Both Agnes and Eric met while working at Pella’s corporate headquarters, building not only careers, but a shared vision for the future. Agnes comes from a true “Pella family”—her father was a Pella installer, and her brother continues to work with the company today.
As they like to joke, “You should hear our Thanksgiving conversations—it’s all about windows.”
Why Houston? A Bigger Vision for Family and Community
After years with the company, the Smithey family made the decision to move to Houston—not just for business opportunity, but for life.
They were drawn to the city’s size, diversity, and energy—a place where their children could grow up exposed to different cultures, perspectives, and possibilities. Houston offered something they valued deeply: a broader, more worldly environment to raise a family.
And they saw an opportunity to bring high-quality window and door solutions to a market where they’re truly needed.
More Than an Upgrade—An Investment in Your Home
For homeowners, replacing windows might start as a necessity—but it often becomes something more.
Better insulation.
Lower energy costs.
More natural light.
A completely refreshed look and feel.
In a city where the climate puts homes to the test, investing in the right windows isn’t just about maintenance—it’s about creating a space that works with Houston, not against it.
See It for Yourself
Whether you’re building, renovating, or simply exploring your options, stepping into a showroom can change the way you think about your home.
Because sometimes, the right window doesn’t just improve your view—
it transforms the entire experience of living there.
