Can a remodel replace a broken window pane?
Short answer
Yes - replacing a single pane of glass in an existing window frame is standard remodel work. Sealed insulated units (double-pane) are usually ordered from a glass shop and re-installed by us or the shop. Full window replacement, especially egress windows, is a larger job requiring specific hardware and sometimes a permit.
What we handle in-house
Single-pane replacements (old wood-frame windows, garage sashes, storm windows), screen re-screening, sliding glass door roller replacement, and IGU (double-pane) re-installation once the new unit arrives.
What we sub or hand off
Field measurement and ordering of a custom IGU (we let the glass shop measure - the tolerance is tight), full window unit replacement (often better handled by a window installer), and any tempered glass required by code (near tubs, near doors, near floor).
Cost ranges
Single-pane in a wood frame: $75 - $175. Re-screening: $45 - $90 per screen. IGU replacement (glass + install): $150 - $400. Full window replacement: $600 - $1,400 per opening depending on size and finish.
