Windshield Replacement & Repair in Houma, LA
Any windshield damage poses a serious danger to both you and passengers, making repair or replacement an immediate priority. If you need help now, contact Glass Doctor® of Houma to receive expert assistance at a moment's notice. Our specialists repair minor chips, but if the damage exceeds three inches in size, windshield replacement is the safest solution.
Windshield Damage Assessment
In order to determine if repair or a completely new installation is best, our glass specialists will examine several aspects of your windshield damage:
Location: Any fissures or cracks in your windshield that have expanded to the edge of the glass should be replaced immediately. Likewise, cracks or chips in the windshield that obscure your line of sight are best fixed with a new windshield installation.
Size: Typically any chips in the glass that exceed 3/8 inch require the windshield to be replaced. Cracks that are longer than three inches warrant a new installation as well.
Time Elapsed: Waiting an extended period of time to repair your damaged windshield will make replacement that much more challenging. Dirt and other materials will get into the damaged area over time, often requiring a new windshield to be installed.
To save you time, Glass Doctor of Houma works will all top auto insurance providers and we'll even handle the paperwork on your behalf. To expedite the repair or replacement process, it's recommended to contact your insurance agent to ensure your windshield is covered.
