Window glass repair covers everything from replacing a single broken pane in a vintage wood-frame window to swapping out a failed insulated glass unit (IGU) in a modern vinyl or aluminum frame. Foggy windows — caused by a broken seal between dual-pane glass — are the most common repair in NorCal homes 10-20 years old. Rather than replacing the entire window, we can replace just the glass unit (IGU), saving 40-60% compared to full window replacement. We also handle tempered glass, laminated safety glass, and obscure (privacy) glass for bathrooms.

Window Glass Repair en Palo Alto — Preguntas Frecuentes

Should I repair the glass or replace the whole window?+

If the window frame is in good condition, replacing just the glass (IGU) saves 40-60% compared to full window replacement. If the frame is rotted, warped, or the hardware is failing, full replacement is the better investment.

Why are my dual-pane windows foggy?+

Foggy dual-pane windows indicate a failed seal between the glass panes. Moisture enters the gap and condenses inside. The only fix is replacing the insulated glass unit (IGU) — the glass cannot be cleaned between panes.

How much does window glass repair cost?+

A dual-pane IGU replacement costs $150-$400 per window in NorCal depending on size and glass type. Single-pane reglazing on older windows costs $75-$200 per pane. Tempered or specialty glass costs more.

How long does window glass repair take?+

Once the replacement glass is received (1-5 business days for custom IGUs), the actual glass swap takes 30-60 minutes per window on site.
