What to Do With a Broken Window Before Help Arrives
- Call Glass Doctor. Call our 24/7 emergency service line, 833-974-0209, or contact your local Glass Doctor directly to schedule an appointment.
- Determine the cause of the break. If you think your broken window is the result of a break-in, call the police immediately to file a report. If the window needs to be replaced because of a storm, you may also want to file an insurance claim to inquire about covering the cost of a replacement window.
- Clean up any broken glass. If the window has shattered and left glass on the ground, carefully clean it up. Use heavy-duty work gloves or a pair of pliers for the large pieces and a broom or shop vac to capture the smaller fragments.
- Secure the window or opening. Using plastic sheeting, cardboard or plywood, cover the window opening, if security is still an issue, consider boarding up the opening.

Home Glass Repair FAQs
Glass Doctor isn't just here to fix your windows – they're also here to offer clarity on common glass service questions. With over 60 years of experience servicing customers across the nation, they've encountered (and solved!) a wide range of window repair issues. Glass Doctor has the answers to frequently asked questions.
Is it cheaper to replace glass in windows?
In some cases, replacing a broken window pane can be a better value than replacing the entire window. This all depends on the severity of the damage, the size and type of window, and the cost of labor. Generally, replacing a single pane of glass is less expensive, but extensive cracks or damage to the frame might necessitate a full window replacement.
How long will it take to fix a window?
The repair time for a window can vary depending on the complexity of the job. Simple repairs like replacing a single pane of glass can often be completed within an hour, while more complex repairs may take several hours.
Can you replace glass in a window without removing the frame?
In some cases, yes. Glass service professionals can sometimes replace the glass without removing the entire window frame – but this all depends on the type of window and the accessibility of the damaged pane.
Can you replace one pane of glass on a double-pane window?
NO, the insulating properties of your double or triple pane window are dependent on the systems’ ability to absorb ambient moisture between the panes and maintain an airtight seal. Replacing a single pane of glass in a double-pane window (also called insulated glass unit or IGU) is possible, but not recommended due to the extreme likelihood of short life seal failure. The integrity of the original seal is imperative to a long cycle life of the window, which is why we do not recommend replacing only a single pane of a double pane unit.
Do you replace window screens?
Yes, we do! In fact, if your standard screen is torn, broken or otherwise compromised, one of our service professionals will come to your home to inspect, replace or repair your window screen with minimal disruption to your schedule using premium window screen materials.
