Residential Glass FAQs
How much does home window glass replacement cost in Decatur?
Home window glass replacement costs in Decatur 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.
What's the difference between single and double-pane windows?
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 in Decatur use double-pane windows for better climate control.
How do I know if my window seal has failed?
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.
How much do custom shower doors cost in Decatur?
Custom frameless shower doors in Decatur 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. 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.
Can you replace just the glass in my window frame?
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 This works well when the frame is in good condition but the glass is broken, foggy, or outdated.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.
How long does residential glass installation take?
Most residential glass services are completed in a single visit. Window glass replacement typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour per window. Custom shower door installation takes 2-4 hours. Mirror installations range from 1-3 hours depending on size and complexity. Glass tabletop fabrication may require 1-2 weeks for custom orders, with installation taking 30-60 minutes.
Does homeowners insurance cover broken window glass?
Homeowners insurance typically covers broken window glass when caused by covered perils such as storms, vandalism, break-ins, falling objects, or accidents. 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.
