Residential Glass Services in Atlanta, GA

Home window glass replacement costs in Atlanta typically range from $150-$400 per window for standard single or double-pane glass, depending on size, glass type, and accessibility. Large picture windows, specialty shapes, or premium glass (low-E, laminated, tempered) cost more. Double-pane insulated glass units (IGUs) range from $200-$500+ depending on size. Glass Inc provides free in-home estimates to assess your specific needs. Factors affecting price include glass type, window size, number of panes, and installation complexity.

Single-pane windows have one layer of glass, while double-pane (insulated) windows have two glass layers with an air or gas-filled space between them. Double-pane windows offer significantly better energy efficiency (reducing heating/cooling costs 15-30%), improved sound insulation, better condensation resistance, and enhanced comfort. Most modern homes use double-pane windows. If you have single-pane windows, upgrading to double-pane can provide substantial energy savings and comfort improvements, especially in Atlanta's hot summers and variable winters.

Signs of window seal failure include fog or condensation between glass panes that won't wipe away, a milky or hazy appearance in the glass, visible moisture or water droplets between panes, and distorted reflections when looking through the glass. Failed seals allow moisture into the insulated space, reducing energy efficiency and visibility. If you notice these signs, the insulated glass unit (IGU) needs replacement - you can often replace just the glass, not the entire window frame, saving money compared to full window replacement.

Custom frameless shower doors in Atlanta typically range from $800-$2,000+ installed, depending on size, glass thickness (3/8" or 1/2"), hardware finish (chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze), and configuration (single door, door with panel, neo-angle enclosure). Semi-frameless options cost $500-$1,000. Framed shower doors are most economical at $300-$700. Glass Inc provides free in-home measurements and quotes. Custom shower doors are made to your exact specifications for a perfect fit that off-the-shelf options can't match.

Yes, in most cases we can replace just the glass while keeping your existing window frame, which is more economical than full window replacement. This works well when the frame is in good condition but the glass is broken, foggy, or outdated. We can upgrade single-pane to double-pane glass in some frames, add low-E coatings for energy efficiency, or replace damaged insulated units. Our technicians assess your frames to determine if glass-only replacement is appropriate or if frame replacement would be more beneficial long-term.

Standard policies usually cover the cost of glass replacement minus your deductible. Gradual deterioration, seal failure, and normal wear aren't typically covered. Glass Inc can help document damage for insurance claims and works with insurance adjusters. Check your policy or contact your insurance agent to understand your specific coverage.
