Foggy or Broken Glass Replacement in Richmond Hill

Save the Frame. Replace the Glass. Get clear, energy-efficient windows again, without a full window replacement.

From Oak Ridges and Bayview Hill to South/North Richvale and Jefferson, Richmond Hill homes often face foggy windows (moisture between panes) or cracked glass from temperature swings. That usually means a failed seal in the insulated glass unit (IGU)—not that your entire window needs replacement. Window Restoration Experts (WRE) replaces the glass panel only, restoring clarity and performance while keeping your existing frames.

Why windows fog?

and when to replace the glass

  • Moisture between panes = failed thermal seal in a double-pane/IGU.

  • Surface condensation inside your home is usually a humidity/ventilation issue; moisture trapped between panes points to a seal failure.

  • If the glass is cracked, chipped, or shattered, a new IGU (or tempered safety glass for doors) is the right fix.

FAQs

Q1. Can foggy windows be “defogged,” or do I need new glass?

Defogging is temporary and doesn’t restore the failed seal. For moisture between panes, the durable solution is replacing the IGU.

Q2. How long does an IGU replacement take?

Assessment is quick. Fabrication timelines vary by spec; installation is typically completed in a single visit once glass arrives.

Q3. Do I need to replace the whole window?

Not if frames/sashes are solid. We replace the glass only, which keeps costs down and preserves your existing look.

Q4. Do you service patio doors in Richmond Hill?

Yes. Patio/French/sliding door glass uses tempered safety glass and is a common request

Q5. Do you repair vehicle windshields?

No. residential and light commercial only (no auto glass).
