Get a glass repair pro — free

What to do right now

If glass just broke, start with safety. Broken glass can cause serious cuts. If someone is hurt, get first aid or call your local emergency number first.

1. Keep children and pets away from the area.
2. If you can do it safely, put on closed-toe shoes and gloves before touching any glass.
3. Move loose glass pieces carefully into a sturdy container, and secure the opening as best you can until a licensed glass pro can inspect it.

Clearpane is a free matching service. We do not do glass work, and this page is general information only.

• Make the area safe first
• Use care with broken glass
• A licensed glass pro should confirm the repair

This is free for the household. You compare quotes, ask questions, and choose who to hire. See how it works if you want the simple step-by-step.

What kinds of home glass projects

We focus on residential glass repair and replacement. That can include a broken or shattered window, a foggy double-pane window or failed insulated glass unit (IGU), a shower door or enclosure, a cracked mirror, a glass tabletop or shelf, a sliding patio door, a storm or screen pane, or an emergency board-up.

Some jobs need only the glass replaced. In other cases, the frame, hardware, rollers, seals, or the full unit may also matter. A good local pro should explain what actually needs repair and why, in plain words.

You can learn more about common home glass problems on our repairs page.

• Broken windows
• Foggy double-pane glass
• Shower doors, mirrors, tabletops, patio doors

What it may cost

Glass repair costs vary a lot by project. The real price depends on the glass type and thickness, the size, edge work, and your area. It also matters whether the glass is single-pane or double-pane/IGU, and whether it is annealed, tempered, or laminated. These are general ranges, not quotes.

For many small residential jobs, people may see prices from around $150 to $400. A standard window glass replacement may be more, and double-pane or tempered glass often costs more than basic single-pane glass. Shower glass, patio door glass, custom mirrors, and emergency board-up can also run higher depending on size and hardware.

If someone immediately pushes a very high price without clearly explaining the glass type, measurements, and scope, slow down. Get the price in writing first. You can also read more on our costs page.

• Double-pane, tempered, and custom glass usually cost more

How to choose a good glass pro

Ask whether the company is licensed and insured for this kind of residential glass work in your area, and verify it if you can. Ask what glass they plan to install, whether it needs tempered or other safety glass by local code, and how long the order may take. Costs, codes, and responsibility can vary by state, city, and building type.

Watch for red flags: vague pricing, scare tactics, cash-only demands, no license, or pressure to replace the whole window when only the glass may need replacing. In some homes, full replacement is necessary, but the reason should be explained clearly.

You stay in control. Compare quotes, confirm the total price before work starts, and inspect the job before paying the final amount.

• Verify license and insurance
• Ask what glass type will be used
• Avoid pressure and vague pricing
