Emergency Window Glass Repair
Expect to pay between $120 to $150 per hour for emergency window glass replacement services. We understand the importance of having functional windows. Our specialists our on  call ready to work 24 hours a day, providing emergency glass repair and replacement in the case of a break-in or emergency. Emergency repair technicians typically come out immediately to repair the problem at an additional cost.

Despite the cost, consider replacing a cracked window as soon as possible. For example, a cracked window results in air leaks, meaning your heating and cooling systems must run overtime. It also allows for more sunlight, which can fade furniture and leave your home at risk for break-ins. If the weather is extremely hot or cold, a cracked window becomes more prone to shattering.

Sometimes, the pane only has a small crack, such as a pebble tossed from a lawnmower. You may be able to fix this crack rather than replace the entire pane if you do so immediately. You or a professional must first wash and dry the window and apply a mix of resin and hardener with a putty knife. The excess resin is then removed, and the repaired glass needs to cure for 24 hours before the pane is cleaned with window cleaner. However, repairing is typically not a good option if the crack is larger than an inch. Cracks also tend to worsen over time.

Replacing Glass vs Replacing Whole Window
The cost to repair the window frame varies, depending on the material and how much hardware must be replaced. The average cost to repair a window frame runs from $170 to $600. If the glass needs replacement, the materials cost averages $375. Replacing an entire window usually costs between $650 to $1,500.

If someone has thrown a baseball through your window, replacing the glass can be less expensive than the entire window. Keeping your window frame means it still matches the others in your home, which is more aesthetically pleasing than mismatched windows. However, replacing the whole window may be a better long-term solution for energy savings, particularly if the frame is old or of poor quality material. Some manufacturers do not honor warranties if the glass is replaced without replacing the sash. Finally, the window is usually not worth saving if the seal is broken, the dividers or muntins are broken, the windows need replacement in 3-5 years, or you have low-quality windows.

Window Frame Replacement Cost

If your wooden window frame breaks, expect to pay between $175 and $300 in repairs, including labor. For window frames made of vinyl or fiberglass, repair costs range from $300 to $600. For broken aluminum window frames, expect to pay $250 to $500, including labor costs. Window frames play an important role in the structural support of your windows, while reducing heating and cooling costs. It is very important to keep them free of cracks and gaps to perform well.

House Window Tinting Prices

Glass tinting costs roughly $7 per sq.ft. Window glass tinting can be a very smart investment for homeowners. Window tinting provides several benefits, such as reducing your energy bills, lowering window glare, and improving your home’s safety and privacy. It even reduces UV exposure.

Window Seal Replacement Cost

The average cost to replace a window seal is $70 to $120. Double and triple-pane windows contain a seal around the perimeter to make them airtight. When seals fail, condensation, dirt, and grime can build up. Once the seal fails, the outside elements can come into your home more easily. To repair a failed seal, you or a professional need to remove the pane of glass to find the break, clean the inside of the panes, replace the gas and seals, and reinstall the windows.

Window UV Film

UV Film can be applied to window glass to reduce UV rays. While the film can be purchased separately from the window at nearly any hardware store, it is recommended to be applied by a professional for the best outcome. This film can be non-reflective or reflective and even different colors. There is some variation in the UV film that can be purchased, and it can be chosen to suit any home or building. It can block 99% of UV rays and cut solar heat by up to 82%. Due to the various styles, colors, and quality, the cost of UV film ranges from $5 to $12 per square foot.

Spectrally Selective Window Film

Spectrally selective coatings are a unique style of low-E coating that allows in more light than a standard low-E coating. Low-E coatings themselves are very energy-efficient but decrease visibility. A spectrally selective coating allows for energy efficiency while providing good visibility. A spectrally selective coating is not as energy*efficient as a normal low-E coating. These coatings usually cost between $8 and $16 per square foot.

Additional Considerations and Costs

Consider upgrading to energy-efficient windows. Choosing an energy-efficient option can be very beneficial. Energy-efficient windows reduce energy costs by more than 30%, helping lower your monthly energy bills. They are expensive but a great investment and save money in the long run.
Having strong and efficient windows is very important for any home. Experts recommend that windows are checked yearly for leaks, damage, cracks, and water-softened wood.
Although window glass replacement could be a DIY project, it is best to opt for professional installation for the best results. Replacing window glass may sound easy, but you may experience some issues with fitting the frame properly, mold and condensation, or building codes. Hiring a professional company for window glass replacement eliminates the headache of dealing with these issues and often offers a great warranty.
Most window companies offer a good warranty on the glass. Most warranties range between 10 and 20 years. This warranty usually does not include damage due to nature. Always ask about the warranty before you select the company.
Ask the company if they have discounts available. Many companies offer discounts if you decide to replace all the windows in your house instead of just a few. If you need door glass replacement, this may be the time to do so. In many cases, the more windows you replace, the better discount you receive.
Similar to window glass replacement, door glass replacement is another project that may need to be completed to keep your doors working efficiently. Glass replacement for doors ranges in price from $200 to $800, depending on the door’s size, glass, and window type. Sometimes, it may be better to replace the entire door rather than just the glass because it is usually similar in price.
