First 10 minutes — make broken glass safe
If glass just broke, making the area safe comes first. Here's a calm, safe order to follow.
- 1Keep everyone clear of the glass. Move children and pets away from the area. Put on shoes and gloves. Don't pick up large shards with bare hands — broken glass can cause deep cuts.
- 2Clean up safely. Sweep up big pieces into a thick bag or box, then lift tiny slivers with a damp paper towel or tape. Tape a piece of cardboard over the opening if a window broke.
- 3Secure the opening. If a window or door glass is gone, cover the opening with plywood or heavy cardboard and tape to keep weather, pests, and intruders out until a pro arrives. Take a few photos for your records.
- 4Get a licensed glass pro. Get matched, free, with a licensed local glass pro. Ask for the price in writing before work starts — you compare quotes and choose who to hire.

If glass just broke, slow down and make the area safe first. This is general information only, not safety or legal advice. Broken glass can cause serious cuts. If someone is hurt, get first aid or call the local emergency number first.
- Keep people and pets away from the area.
- Put on shoes or sturdy slippers. If you have them, use gloves.
- Pick up large pieces carefully. Use a broom and dustpan for small pieces.
- Put broken glass in a thick bag or wrap it well before placing it in the trash.
- If a window or door opening is exposed, keep the area closed off and, if you can do so safely, cover it temporarily until a licensed glass pro can look at it.
What Clearpane does
Clearpane is a free matching service. We are not a glass company, licensed glazier, or contractor, and we do not perform glass work.
We help homeowners and renters across the United States get connected with licensed, insured local glass pros for home glass jobs. That includes broken or shattered windows, foggy insulated double-pane units, shower doors and enclosures, mirrors, glass tabletops and shelves, sliding patio doors, storm or screen panes, and emergency board-up.
The service is free for the household. To help with a match, we collect basic contact and project intent only: name, phone, optional email, project type, ZIP code, and preferred language. We do not ask for financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, income, or sensitive personal records.
What it may cost
Glass repair costs vary a lot. The real number depends on the glass type and thickness, the size, the edge work, and your area. A single-pane window glass swap is often less than a failed insulated double-pane unit, and tempered or laminated safety glass usually costs more than basic annealed glass. These ranges are general information only — not quotes.
Many small residential glass jobs may fall somewhere around $150 to $500. A double-pane insulated glass unit often lands higher, sometimes around $250 to $700 or more. Shower door glass, sliding door glass, custom mirrors, and thick tabletops can cost more, especially if the glass is large, tempered, polished, or custom-cut.
If the opening needs temporary board-up, emergency or after-hours service may add cost. For a clearer picture, see our costs page. Get the full price in writing before work starts.
How to choose a glass pro without overpaying
A good local glass pro should be licensed and insured where required, explain what glass is needed, and tell you whether only the glass can be replaced or if the whole window or door unit really needs replacement. In many cases, the glass can be replaced without replacing the full frame — but it depends on the condition and the product.
Watch for vague pricing, scare tactics, cash-only demands, no proof of license or insurance, or pressure to replace the whole window when only the glass may need replacing. Ask questions, compare quotes, and stay in control.
Before paying the final amount, check that the glass installed matches what you agreed to. Local building codes matter too. Doors, shower enclosures, and some low or large windows may require tempered or other safety glass by code. A licensed local pro can confirm what applies in your area.
