What Clearpane is — and is not

Clearpane is a free service that helps homeowners and renters connect with local residential glass pros in the United States. We are not a glass company, not a licensed glazier, and not a contractor.

We do not repair, replace, measure, install, board up, or inspect glass. We also do not make code decisions, safety decisions, or legal decisions for your home. Any work, pricing, timing, permits, and final recommendations come from the glass professional you choose to speak with and hire.

General information only

The information on this website is general information only. It is meant to help you understand common home glass problems like a broken window, a foggy double-pane unit, a shower door issue, a cracked mirror, or a damaged patio door.

It is not glass advice, structural advice, safety advice, building code advice, insurance advice, or legal advice. Broken glass can cause serious cuts. If someone is hurt, get first aid or call your local emergency number first.

For any inspection, repair, replacement, safety question, or code question, hire a licensed, insured local glass professional and follow local building rules. In many areas, safety glass such as tempered or laminated glass is required in places like doors, shower enclosures, and certain low or large windows.

Pricing, costs, and estimates

We may share general cost ranges on our site so people have a rough idea of what a home glass repair or replacement may cost. These ranges are not quotes, not offers, and not guarantees.

The real price depends on the glass type and thickness, the size, whether it is single-pane or double-pane/IGU, whether safety glass is needed, the edge work, the hardware, the labor, the urgency, and your area. A written estimate from the glass pro is the number that matters.

Always ask for the price in writing before work starts. Be careful with vague pricing, scare tactics, cash-only demands, no proof of license or insurance, or pressure to replace the whole window unit when only the glass may need replacing.

Your choice, your responsibility

You stay in control of the hiring decision. You can compare options, ask questions, confirm the scope of work, and decide who to hire.

Before any work begins, ask the glass pro to explain what is being replaced, what type of glass is being used, whether code-required safety glass applies, and what the total price includes. Before paying the final amount, check that the work matches what you agreed to.

If you rent your home, responsibility for repair or replacement may depend on your lease and local rules. Check with your landlord or property manager if needed.

What information we collect

To help with a match, we collect basic contact and project intent details only: your name, phone number, optional email, project type, ZIP code, and preferred language.

We do not ask for bank account numbers, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, income details, or sensitive personal records to use the service. You can read more on our Privacy page.
