Pricing & Payment
How much does glass repair cost?
Costs vary depending on glass type, size, and complexity. A simple single-pane window replacement might be $150-$300, while a custom shower enclosure could be $1,500-$5,000+. We always provide a detailed written estimate before starting work.
Do you charge for emergency or after-hours service?
Emergency service rates may differ from standard rates. We provide a clear estimate over the phone before dispatching a technician.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, all major credit cards, debit cards, and checks.
Emergency Services
Do you offer 24/7 emergency glass repair?
Yes. We provide emergency glass repair service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Call (917) 905-4646 for immediate assistance.
How fast can you respond to an emergency?
For Manhattan and Brooklyn, typical response time is 1-3 hours depending on time of day and traffic. We prioritize true emergencies.
Can you replace the glass same-day or just board it up?
In many cases, we carry common glass sizes on our truck and complete the full replacement same-day. For custom or specialty glass, we board up immediately and return with the correct glass within 24-48 hours.
Windows & Doors
Can you repair just the glass without replacing the whole window?
Yes. In most cases, we can replace just the glass pane while keeping your existing frame. This saves significant money compared to full window replacement.
Do you work with co-op and condo boards?
Yes. We work with building management to meet all requirements and can provide the documentation boards typically require.
Shower Glass & Mirrors
How long does shower glass installation take?
Most installations take 2-4 hours once the glass is fabricated. The full process from measurement to installation typically takes 1-2 weeks.
Can you cut mirrors to custom sizes?
Yes. We cut mirrors to any size and shape, with your choice of edge treatment (polished, beveled, etc.).
