Insulated Glass Replacement Near You — Frame Stays, Glass Goes

First, we schedule a measurement visit. We remove the sash or access the glass unit from inside the frame, measure the actual glass dimensions (not the frame rough opening — the glass dimensions), note the spacer width, glass thickness, coating, and any special features like temper or laminate. We then order the replacement IGU from our glass supplier. Most standard residential sizes arrive in three to five business days. On installation day we return, remove the old unit from the sash, install the new IGU with the correct glazing tape or compound, reinstall the sash, and verify the fit. Total time on installation day is usually thirty to sixty minutes per window.

Yes. Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Simonton, and most other name-brand windows use standard IGU formats that we can source as replacement units. Some Andersen and Pella lines use proprietary sizing or have manufacturer warranty programs — if your windows are still under manufacturer warranty, it is worth checking whether the manufacturer will cover the IGU directly before you pay us for replacement. If the warranty has lapsed or the manufacturer is not responsive, we can source compatible replacement glass. We match the glass specifications to the original unit as closely as possible.

Yes. Commercial IGU replacement is a significant part of our work. Office buildings, commercial retail spaces, and institutional properties throughout the DMV have large-format commercial insulated glass units that can fail just like residential units — seal failure, broken glass, delaminating interlayer on laminated units. Commercial units tend to be larger and heavier, require different handling equipment, and may involve specific performance specifications for fire rating, acoustic performance, or solar control. We assess the commercial application on-site and provide a quote specific to the unit type and installation requirements.
