T Town Windows & Doors is based in Tulsa, about 16 miles from Bixby, and run by brothers Andrey and Vadim Napelenok. Their crew replaces windows, sliding glass doors and front doors in Bixby homes, with no subcontractors.
Andrey and Vadim Napelenok own T Town Windows & Doors and have spent 17+ years putting in windows, doors and siding around Tulsa. On a Bixby job they supervise and work on site with their own trained, long-time crew, and none of the work is handed to a subcontractor.

We had an outstanding experience with Andrey, Vadim, and the entire installation team. They were professional, highly skilled, and took obvious pride in their work from start to finish. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, paid close attention to detail, and treated our home with care. The quality of the installation exceeded our expectations, and they made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. Itโs refreshing to work with craftsmen who are knowledgeable, courteous, and committed to doing the job right. I would highly recommend Andrey, Vadim, and their team to anyone looking for top-quality window installation.
Vadim & Andrey were terrific! Professional and thoughtful, took time before they got started to answer our questions and again at the end to make sure we were happy and knew how to work and care for our awesome new windows. They took the time to hear my concern about how two different windows may be โset backโ differently compared to the brick facade, talked to me about how they would adjust for it and executed perfectly. They do great work, things look very well finished and these guys caulk lines are second to NONE!! Thanks guys, will be recommending we get you for phase 2!
We got our windows installed today by renewal by Andersonโs. Our installers were.Vadim and Andrey. They were kind, informative of what they were doing and very professional. They cleaned up everything. The windows are beautiful. We were so impressed. I wished I did this a long time ago. Thank you so much!
Wanted to say thank you to Vadim and Andrey and their team for the great work on my new windows and door. Was told it take all day and they were finished in about 5 hours. They went over instructions on how to open and close and take the screens out, cleaned up and took all the old windows and door. Iโm very impressed with their work and the windows are amazing! Once again thank you guys for the hard work and timely service!
Installation day I did not know what to expect. Vadim's and Andre's crew showed up shortly after 8 am. The entire 5-man crew worked diligently through the heat and high winds. They were all polite and answered any questions I had. They covered my furniture and put down carpet to protect my belongings. I was amazed at the speed and efficiency of the crew; they worked as a team and installed all 19 windows in one day. The crew vacuumed the carpet and cleaned up their work area. My previous windows were so foggy I had forgotten what a beautiful view I have of my backyard. My windows no longer sing when the wind blows and they make it much quieter. Thank you for a job well-done.
Vadim and his team did a fabulous job. They exceeded my expectations. Windows are beautiful, functional and have transformed the look of my home.
These window installers surpass professionalism. They were prompt curtious and friendly professional. Above all they worked quietly and very efficient. Vadim and Tim were two very unique individuals. I will recommend their service to everyone. Thank you gentlemen my house is already much cooler

Most Bixby homes are on the newer side, but not all of them, and the glass rules and the questions to ask change with the house.
Newer two-story
A two-story entry puts glass where the code looks hardest. A window whose bottom edge is less than 36 inches above a stair or landing is a hazardous location (R324.4.6), and so is glass within 60 inches of the bottom step that sits under 36 inches above that landing (R324.4.7). Sidelights beside the front door count too when their bottom edge is under 60 inches (R324.4.2).
New build
The Census counts about 645 Bixby homes built in 2020 or later. Nationwide, about two in three new single-family homes started in 2024 went up inside a community or homeowners association, so read your covenants before a new door or window changes the look from the street. Each pane in a hazardous location must carry a permanent mark that stays visible once it is in (R324.1): look for it in a corner of your door glass.
Older ranch
Bixby's population doubled in the 1960s as homebuilding began in earnest, the Oklahoma Historical Society records. In a home finished before 1978, the paint on old window trim may contain lead; the EPA's renovation rule covers anyone paid to disturb it, and Andrey and Vadim hold its renovator certificates. A bathroom window within 60 inches of a tub or shower, with its bottom edge under 60 inches above where you stand, needs safety glass too (R324.4.5).
What the Census and the state's history say about Bixby houses, and the state code rule that comes with their big glass.
Safety glass required Not required by that rule
A pane over 9 square feet, less than 18 inches off the floor, reaching above 36 inches, with floor to walk on within 36 inches. All four together make it a hazardous location.
R324.4.3
Its bottom edge is 18 inches or more above the floor, so the big-window rule does not reach it.
R324.4.3
Glass beside the fixed panel of a patio door is listed as an exception to the next-to-a-door rule.
R324.4.2, exception
Glass in the fixed and the sliding panels of sliding, swinging and bifold doors is a hazardous location.
R324.4.1
Within 24 inches of the door, with its bottom edge less than 60 inches above the floor.
R324.4.2
Each safety pane in a hazardous location carries a permanent mark naming who applied it, the glass type and the safety standard, visible once installed.

Bixby grew up on Arkansas River bottomland and stayed a farm town of 1,711 people in 1960, the Oklahoma Historical Society records. Then homebuilding began in earnest: 3,973 people by 1970, 13,336 in 2000 and more than 28,600 at the April 2020 census, as it became home to people who work in Tulsa.

The median Bixby home has 6.5 rooms, against 5.2 in Tulsa and 5.5 across Oklahoma. About 4 in 10 Bixby homes (39.7 percent) have four or more bedrooms, compared with 16.0 percent in Tulsa. A bigger house means more windows and doors to decide on.

Oklahoma's Uniform Building Code Commission made the 2024 IRC the statewide minimum code for homes on September 14, 2026, and left its glazing section, R324, as written. It names seven hazardous locations where only safety glass may go, from door glass and the glass beside it to big low windows, stairs, tubs and showers.

Across the country, 65.7 percent of new single-family homes started in 2024 were built inside a community or homeowners association, the National Association of Home Builders reports from Census Bureau data. If your Bixby subdivision has one, its covenants may cover what your windows and front door look like from the street.
For a sliding door, a picture window or a front door with glass in a newer Bixby home. Ask any installer these, us included.
The code treats glass in any door panel as a hazardous location, plus glass within 24 inches of a door with its bottom edge under 60 inches, and panes over 9 square feet that come within 18 inches of the floor.
Check first: Ask for a quote that says, opening by opening, which panes will be safety glass.
Oklahoma Residential Code 2024, R324.4
Every safety pane in a hazardous location needs a permanent mark naming who applied it, the type of glass and the standard it meets, and it has to stay visible after the install.
Check first: Once the job is done, look in a corner of each door, sidelight and big low pane for the etched or fired mark.
Oklahoma Residential Code 2024, R324.1
Nationwide, 65.7 percent of new single-family homes started in 2024 were built in a community or homeowners association, and an association's covenants can set rules for the outside of a house.
Check first: Read your covenants or ask the association what it reviews, and get its answer in writing before anything is ordered.

Glass in every kind of door is a hazardous location under Oklahoma's residential code. Here is what that means for each one.
Only two kinds of door glass escape the safety glass rule: openings so small a 3-inch sphere cannot pass through, and decorative glazing, which the code defines as carved, leaded or Dalle glass whose purpose is artistic.
Oklahoma code: glass in a swinging door is a hazardous location, and so is a sidelight within 24 inches of it with its bottom edge under 60 inches (R324.4.1, R324.4.2).
Front doors
In the code's impact test table, a patio-type sliding glass door needs Category II glass at every size, the higher of the two categories. Gentek's vinyl sliders come in two-, three- and four-panel sizes.
Oklahoma code: both the fixed and the sliding panel are hazardous locations, while a window right beside the fixed panel is exempt (R324.4.1, R324.4.2).
Sliding and patio doors
A storm door adds a pane in front of the door you keep. The code's table asks for Category I glass in a storm door pane up to 9 square feet and Category II above that.
Oklahoma code: a storm door swings, so its glass falls under the door rule like any other (R324.4.1).

Yes, both panels of a sliding glass door in a Bixby home must be safety glass. Oklahoma's residential code, the 2024 IRC adopted statewide on September 14, 2026, lists glass in the fixed and moving panels of sliding doors as a hazardous location (R324.4.1), and its impact table puts patio-type sliding doors in Category II at any size.
A window next to your front door needs safety glass if it is within 24 inches of the door and its bottom edge is less than 60 inches above the floor (R324.4.2). The exceptions are decorative glazing, glass behind a wall or other permanent barrier, a door to a closet 3 feet deep or less, and glass beside the fixed panel of a patio door.
A big picture window needs safety glass when all four of these are true: the pane is larger than 9 square feet, its bottom edge is less than 18 inches above the floor, its top edge is more than 36 inches above the floor, and a walking surface is within 36 inches of it (R324.4.3). A rail 34 to 38 inches high that meets the code's strength rule is one of the exceptions.
HOA approval to replace windows in Bixby comes from your neighborhood's covenants, not from the city. Nationwide, 65.7 percent of new single-family homes started in 2024 were built inside a community or homeowners association, according to NAHB's reading of Census data, so if your Bixby subdivision has one, read the covenants or ask the association before you order.
Bixby's residential permit pages do not say either way for replacing windows or doors. The city has run all permitting and contractor licensing through MyGov since January 9, 2024, and its construction guidelines say work started before a required permit is issued can get a stop work order and a triple permit fee. Call the City of Bixby at (918) 366-4430 before you change the size of an opening.
