We do our best to make sure our clients receive an exceptional experience with us
cracked or broken window pane does not mean you need a new window. In most homes the frame and sash are still solid, and only the glass has to be replaced. Window glass replacement restores safety, security and insulation quickly, without the cost and disruption of a full window replacement.
We replace glass of every type: single panes in older wood windows, double- and triple-pane insulated units, tempered safety glass in doors and large openings, and laminated glass where extra security or sound reduction is needed. Each new pane is cut to size and set and sealed to match your existing window.
A broken pane is also a security and weather risk. Until it is replaced, the opening lets in cold air, water and insects, and cracks tend to spread with temperature changes. If the glass can't be replaced the same day, we secure the opening first.

Glass We Replace
- Cracked and broken panes from impact, storms or stress cracks
- Single-pane glass in wood windows, set with new glazing putty, including historic and divided-light sashes
- Insulated glass units (double- and triple-pane) that are cracked or broken
- Tempered safety glass for doors, glass near floors and other locations where code requires it
- Laminated glass for security and noise reduction
- Sliding and patio door glass
- Door glass inserts, sidelights and transoms
- Custom shapes: arched, round-top and odd-sized panes
- Low-E and energy-efficient upgrades when an old pane is replaced
Glass not broken, but cloudy or with moisture between the panes? That is a failed seal, and it is fixed with foggy glass replacement. For old wood windows with loose or missing putty, see window reglazing.

How the Glass Replacement Process Works
1. Inspection. We check the frame, sash and seals to confirm that only the glass needs to be replaced, and identify the type of glass required.
2. Securing the opening. If the pane is shattered and the new glass has to be made to size, we remove the broken glass safely and cover the opening.
3. Accurate measurement. Each pane is measured precisely, and the right glass type, thickness and coating are specified.
4. Installation. The new glass is set with glazing putty, glazing beads or the original stops, depending on the window, without damaging the frame.
5. Sealing and cleanup. The pane is sealed against air and water, and all broken glass is removed from the site.
In the New York area, with coastal humidity and big temperature swings, proper sealing around the new glass is what keeps it performing for years.

What Affects the Cost of Window Glass Replacement
- Size and thickness of the pane
- Glass type: single-pane, insulated unit, tempered, laminated or Low-E
- Shape: standard rectangle or custom shape
- Type of window or door and how the glass is held in place
- Accessibility, such as upper floors
- Urgency and whether the opening has to be secured first
In most cases, replacing only the glass costs a fraction of a new window, especially when the frame and sash are in good condition.

Expert Insight: Glass or New Window?
From a professional standpoint, many homeowners replace an entire window when only the glass is damaged. If the frame is sound, square and operates well, new glass restores it completely.
The right glass matters as much as the installation. Doors and panes near floors or tubs usually require tempered safety glass, and older wood windows need glass set with proper glazing putty to stay watertight. We specify the correct glass for each opening rather than using one type for everything.
Many older windows on Long Island and in NYC were built with durable materials that are worth keeping. Replacing only the glass lets you keep that quality while improving safety and efficiency.
