What Sets Our Window Repair Apart
Repair Before Replacement
We focus on repairing your home’s windows whenever possible. If broken glass, failed seals, or foggy panes can be addressed without replacing the entire window, we’ll recommend the more cost effective solution.
Experienced, Professional Window Technicians
Our professional window technicians understand how double pane windows, window frames, and insulated glass units are constructed. That allows us to diagnose seal failures, air leaks, and structural issues accurately. With a 4.9-star rating from 300+ reviews, our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction sets us apart as Raleigh’s trusted window repair experts.
Repair First Approach
Many companies push full window replacement. In many cases, we can replace just the damaged glass panes while preserving the existing window frame. This reduces cost and avoids unnecessary disruption to your home.
Energy Efficiency Focus
We don’t just fix broken glass, we address the underlying issue. Properly sealed glass improves insulation, reduces cooling costs, and helps lower energy bills.
Clear Price Estimates
You’ll receive a free estimate with a clear explanation of the repair and replacement options. We’ll outline the best solution based on the condition of your home’s windows, not based on upselling.

Common Window Issues We Fix
Broken or Cracked Glass
Broken glass affects safety, insulation, and your home’s curb appeal. We repair or replace damaged glass panes while preserving the structural integrity of the window frame whenever possible.
Foggy Windows
Foggy windows usually result from failed seals in double pane windows. Moisture between glass panes reduces insulation and increases cooling costs. Our home window repair services address seal failures and restore clarity without replacing the entire window when feasible.
Drafts and Air Leaks
Air leaks around the window frame can increase energy bills and reduce comfort. We repair seals and address minor structural issues to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs.
Window Screen Damage
Torn screens and damaged screens allow pests inside and reduce ventilation. Our window screen repair restores smooth operation and airflow.
When to Repair vs. Replace Your Windows
Assess the Extent of the Damage
Minor cracks, foggy glass, or failed seals can often be resolved through window repair services. If the frame is solid and only the glass is damaged, repair is typically the more cost effective solution.
Evaluate Energy Efficiency
Older windows with multiple failures may benefit from window replacement. Upgrading to double pane or Low E glass can improve insulation and lower energy bills over time.
When Full Replacement Makes Sense
Replacement may be necessary if there is wood rot, severe frame damage, or structural failure. We’ll recommend full replacement only when repair will not restore functionality safely.
Benefits of Professional Window Repair
Why Raleigh Prefers Glass Solutions
Glass Solutions has provided window repair in Raleigh and the surrounding area since 2009. Our certified technicians focus on practical repair and replacement solutions that protect your home’s windows and improve long-term performance.
We prioritize clear communication, quality workmanship, and straightforward recommendations. If repair is possible, we’ll repair it. If replacement is necessary, we’ll explain why.
Window Glass Replacement When Repair Isn’t Enough
If the damage extends beyond a simple repair, we provide window glass replacement using durable, energy efficient materials designed for long-term performance. When the window frame is still in good condition, replacing only the glass can restore insulation and functionality without replacing the entire window.
If full window replacement is required due to structural damage or wood rot, we’ll explain why and outline the next steps clearly.

When is replacement better than repair?
Choose window glass replacement for severe damage, compromised frames, or to upgrade to energy-efficient options. Our technicians will assess your windows and recommend the best solution.
