01

Step 01

Inspect & Photograph Your Damage

Grab your phone and snap a few photos of the damage. You do not need to climb a ladder or remove anything — just capture what you can see from a safe distance. Our technicians can identify glass type, seal condition, and damage severity from well-lit photos alone.

  • Photograph the full window plus a close-up of the damage
  • Include a coin or ruler for size reference if you can
  • Note any drafts, moisture, or rattling you have noticed
  • Works from any smartphone — no special app needed
Estimated time: 5 minutes (your part)

Step 02

Receive Your Free Estimate

Once we receive your photos, a certified technician — not a call center — reviews every detail. You get a flat-rate quote with a full material breakdown. No hidden trip fees, no "once we get there" surprises. The number we quote is the number you pay.

  • Line-item breakdown: glass, labor, hardware, and cleanup
  • Multiple options if available (standard vs. energy-efficient glass)
  • Quote locked for 30 days — take your time deciding
  • Zero obligation — no follow-up pressure calls
Estimated time: Under 2 hours

  • You control the schedule — mornings, evenings, weekends available
  • Technician arrives with pre-cut glass and all hardware
  • Drop cloths and floor protection standard on every job
  • Average residential repair: 45 minutes to 2 hours
Estimated time: Same-day or scheduled

Step 04

Final Inspection & Guarantee

Before we pack up, we walk you through the finished work. You check the seal, the fit, the operation, and the clarity. If anything is less than perfect, we fix it on the spot. If something is not right after we leave, call us and we come back to put it right.

  • Seal pressure test and alignment verification included
  • The crew that measures the opening is the crew that installs it
  • Before-and-after photos for your records
  • 48-hour satisfaction follow-up call
Estimated time: 15 minutes

Photo Estimates

Why We Built the Photo Estimate System

Most glass companies force you to schedule a home visit just to get a price. That means taking time off work, waiting for a 4-hour arrival window, and hoping the quote matches what they said on the phone.

We eliminated all of that. Our photo estimate system lets you upload images of your damage from anywhere, any time, and get an accurate flat-rate quote reviewed by a real technician — not an algorithm — in under 2 hours. The in-person visit happens only when you are ready for the repair itself.

Snap 1-5 Photos

Capture the full window, the damage close-up, and the frame. Use natural daylight if possible.

Add a Brief Note

Tell us the room, the approximate size, and any urgency. A sentence or two is plenty.

Submit Online

Upload through our secure form. Works on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. No account needed.

Estimate in Under 2 Hours

A real technician reviews your photos and sends a flat-rate quote by text or email — your choice.

What We Work With

Every Glass Type. Every Application.

Our technicians carry manufacturer certifications across the full range of residential and commercial glass. We match the exact specifications of your existing installation.

Tempered Glass

Safety glass that shatters into small rounded pieces instead of jagged shards. Required by code for doors, bathrooms, and low windows.

Laminated Glass

Two glass layers bonded by a vinyl interlayer. Holds together when broken — ideal for security, storefronts, and sound reduction.

Low-E Glass

Invisible metallic coating that reflects heat. Keeps interiors cooler in summer and warmer in winter without affecting clarity.

Insulated Glass (IGU)

Double or triple-pane units with sealed air gaps. The gold standard for energy efficiency — and the fix for foggy windows.

Decorative & Textured

Frosted, patterned, and tinted glass for privacy and aesthetics. We match existing patterns for seamless replacement.

Custom Cut Glass

Tabletops, shelving, cabinet inserts, and specialty shapes. Precision-cut to your exact measurements from our in-house shop.

The Finished Product

Repairs That Look Like Nothing Happened

The goal of every repair is invisible perfection. When we replace a pane, we match the glass type, thickness, tint, and coating exactly. The new glass should be indistinguishable from the original — and it should outperform it in energy efficiency and seal integrity.

We document every job with before-and-after photos so you can see the transformation. For foggy IGU replacements, the difference is dramatic — from milky haze to crystal-clear views within an hour.

Our Promise

Guarantees That Actually Mean Something

Here is exactly what happens on a job, step by step, so there are no surprises on the day.

Workmanship Guarantee

If the seal fails, the glass shifts, or anything we installed does not perform as promised, we come back and fix it at zero cost. No time limit on callbacks for installation defects.

Flat-Rate Price Lock

The price on your approved estimate is the price you pay. If a job takes longer than expected or we encounter unforeseen complications, we absorb the overage — not you.

On-Time Arrival

We provide a 1-hour arrival window (not a 4-hour one). If we are running late, we call ahead. If we miss the window, your next service call gets a priority discount.

Full Transparency

Every estimate includes a line-item breakdown: glass cost, labor, hardware, disposal. You see exactly where every dollar goes before you approve anything.

Same Technician, Start to Finish

The technician who reviews your photos is the one who shows up at your door. No handoffs, no miscommunication, no "I was not briefed on this" excuses.

Post-Repair Follow-Up

We call within 48 hours of every completed job to confirm satisfaction. If anything is less than perfect, we schedule a return visit at your earliest convenience.

Process Questions

Questions People Ask During the Process

These are the real questions customers ask after submitting their photos or before approving an estimate. If yours is not listed here, call us directly — we answer our own phone.

(703) 470-7867
Yes. Our technicians are trained to work with imperfect photos. Natural lighting and a steady hand are all we need. If we cannot determine the glass type or damage extent from your images, we will call you for a quick clarification — we never guess and inflate.
Absolutely. If you approve and then need to reschedule, there is no fee. If you cancel before our technician arrives, there is no charge at all. We lock your quoted price for 30 days, so even if you postpone, the price stays the same.
If our technician arrives and discovers additional damage that was not visible in photos — for example, a rotted sub-sill behind a cracked pane — we call you immediately before proceeding. You get a revised quote and the choice to approve or decline. We never add charges without your explicit consent.
For interior work (shower doors, mirrors, interior windows), yes. For exterior-access repairs where the technician does not need to enter your home, you can authorize the work remotely. We send a start-time notification, progress photos, and a completion summary.
Emergencies bypass the photo estimate process. Call (703) 470-7867 and we do our best to dispatch a technician within 30 to 45 minutes depending on your location and traffic to secure your property with a temporary board-up. Once the immediate threat is contained, we photograph the damage ourselves and provide a full repair estimate on-site — usually within 30 minutes.
Free. Fast. No Obligation.
