Identify the glass type
Single, tempered, laminated, impact and insulated glass are replaced differently. Etched markings in a corner and the frame itself often tell us which you have.

Glass Replacement
Glass replacement means swapping a broken, cracked or failed pane for the right new glass in an existing frame. Express Glass provides glass replacement for homes and businesses across South and Southwest Florida, including Miami-Dade County. Before recommending a pane, we identify the glass type, thickness and dimensions and check whether the frame is sound, because the right replacement depends on all three.

A clear starting point
Replace the glass, and only what needs replacing.
Many openings can keep their frame while the glass is replaced, but not every pane is interchangeable. A tempered door panel, a laminated impact pane and a sealed double-pane unit each have different construction and different replacement paths. We explain which applies to your opening, what we can confirm from photos, and what must be verified on site before glass is made. Express Glass manufactures its own glass, which helps with timing for many openings; call to confirm the timing for yours.
Confirm size and fit
We confirm dimensions, thickness, edge details and any cutouts on site. Measuring near broken glass can be unsafe, so please do not reach into the opening.
Check the frame and hardware
A new pane in a bent frame or failing seal will not last. We check the frame, glazing and hardware and tell you if more than the glass needs work.
From the field
From broken pane to compatible replacement.
Keep people clear of the damaged glass and do not remove sharp pieces yourself. Photograph the full opening and the damage from a safe distance, then call. For an exposed opening, ask about temporary board-up while replacement glass is arranged.
Broken impact glass? Why wait days?
We manufacture our own glass for same-day or next-day impact glass replacement. Call for a free estimate and to confirm timing for your opening.

What can stay, and what needs attention?
An intact frame may be reusable. We check the glass supports, seals and visible hardware before deciding whether replacing only the pane is appropriate.
Broken panes need compatible replacement glazing. Tempered, laminated impact and insulated units are different products; matching the opening is more important than selecting glass by appearance alone. Replacement alone does not upgrade a standard opening to an impact-rated system.
What affects the cost?
Pane dimensions, thickness, glass type, access and frame condition affect the estimate. Share photos and your service city, then arrange confirmation of measurements before fabrication.

Before you call about glass replacement
Keep people away from loose glass and do not operate the damaged door or window. Discuss temporary board-up if the opening cannot safely remain exposed.

Good to know
Questions about glass replacement?
Every opening is different. These answers explain what to look for before you call.
Can broken glass be repaired instead of replaced?
Cracked or shattered glass is replaced, not patched. Tempered glass in particular breaks into pieces and cannot be repaired.
Do I need a new window or door?
Often not. If the frame and hardware are sound, glass-only replacement may be possible. We assess the opening to confirm.
How long does replacement take?
It depends on the glass. Many standard panes can be made quickly because we manufacture in-house, while insulated units typically take 1-2 weeks. Call to confirm timing for your opening.
What information should I have ready?
Your city, a photo of the whole opening, a close photo of the damage, any markings in the glass corner and whether the opening is exposed.
Can you board up the opening first?
Yes. Temporary board-up protects an exposed opening while replacement glass is arranged.
What affects the cost of glass replacement?
The cost of glass replacement depends on the opening dimensions, required glass or hardware, the condition of the existing frame, safe access and any temporary protection needed. Share photos and a description of the problem for a free estimate. Final measurements and compatibility must be checked before confirming fabrication or installation; there is no single price that fits every opening.
What information helps you estimate glass replacement?
Send a clear photo of the complete opening, a closer photo of the damage or operating problem, your service address and approximate dimensions if they can be obtained safely. For glass replacement, photos help identify the next assessment, but do not replace final measurements or confirm the glass specification. Do not handle broken glass or move a heavy panel to take pictures. Call for urgent exposed or unsafe openings.
