Shattered safety glass
We confirm the safety-glass requirements for the opening and order the appropriate panel. Tell us if the opening is exposed so we can discuss temporary board-up.
Patio door glass replacement
A shattered panel or cloudy view can often be repaired by replacing the glass. We check your patio door before recommending a new panel.
Keep the door when its frame still works
Broken or cloudy glass and a door that sticks are different problems. We inspect the frame, tracks and hardware before recommending replacement glass. Safety requirements, panel thickness and the existing glass details guide the specification; separate roller, track or lock repairs may also be needed.
Plan the glass and the door together
Foggy insulated panels
When moisture is trapped inside a patio door's insulated unit, we replace the sealed assembly. We do not try to clear the old unit by defogging.
Coatings, tint and grids
We measure panel thickness and size, and confirm specified Low-E coatings, tint and grid details before fabrication.
Tracks, rollers and locks
Glass replacement includes checking door operation. We inspect tracks and hardware, adjust rollers as appropriate, and test sliding and locking at completion. We explain any separate repair needs.
From a damaged panel to a working door
Start with the glass problem and tell us if the opening is exposed. Measurement and a door inspection establish the replacement scope.

Patio door glass questions.
A few practical details about assessing and replacing your glass.
Ask about your glassCan I keep my patio door frame?
Often, yes, when the frame and hardware are in suitable condition. We inspect the door before confirming the scope.
Do you work on French doors as well as sliding doors?
Yes. We replace glass in sliding, French and patio doors with wood, vinyl or aluminum frames, subject to inspection.
Can you board up a broken patio door?
Yes. Ask about temporary board-up if replacement glass is not ready and the opening needs securing.
How long does the replacement take?
We measure first and schedule installation once the panel is fabricated. Confirm timing with us for your door and access conditions.
