Broken now? Here is what to do

Pick up the large pieces with gloves, tape over cracks so they do not spread and cover the opening with plastic or cardboard if it is open to the weather. Then send us a photo. If the opening needs to be secured until the new glass is ready, ask about our board-up service.

How glass replacement works

We come out and measure the exact opening, check how the glass is held in (glazing beads, putty or a sealed sash) and give you a price. The new glass or sealed unit is made to those measurements, usually within one to two weeks, and we come back to install it, seal it and clean up every bit of broken glass.

Single-pane or double-pane?

Older windows usually take single-pane glass, which can be cut and installed quickly. Most windows from the last 30 years use sealed double-pane units. When one of those cracks or fogs up, we replace the sealed unit itself and keep the frame and sash. See foggy window repair if your glass is cloudy rather than broken.

Glass for businesses

We also replace glass in storefronts, office doors and multi-unit buildings. See storefront glass and doors.

Glass replacement questions

Can you replace just the glass, not the whole window?

Yes. In almost every case we keep your frame and sash and replace only the glass or the sealed glass unit. That costs much less than a new window.

How long does it take to get new glass?

Standard glass is often ready within a few days. Custom double-pane units, tempered glass and special sizes usually take one to two weeks after we measure.

Is the replacement glass energy efficient?

Double-pane replacements can be ordered with Low-E coatings and argon gas, the same features found in new energy-efficient windows.

Do you replace glass in doors?

Yes. We replace glass in entry doors, storm doors, French doors and sliding patio doors, using tempered safety glass where code requires it.

Do you clean up the broken glass?

Yes. We remove the old glass and clean the work area before we leave.
