Not sure what it is?
Four names dominate Charlotte glass repair. Glass Doctor — a national franchise with 4.9 stars across thousands of reviews and the broadest menu (auto glass to storefronts); repair prices aren't published, and their own Charlotte page quotes glass "estimated to take two weeks" to arrive. The Glass Guru — a franchise whose signature fix is moisture removal at "half the cost of new glass"; effective at clearing fog, though the lost insulation isn't restored. Argo Glass & Windows — a genuinely strong repair-first local shop with published price ranges ($50–$700 spreads) and Cardinal-manufactured glass. And WowFix — that's us: exact published prices, glass units fabricated in our own shop, one-visit swaps.
Skip the star-rating stalemate — every company above has good reviews. Ask these instead. Is the price published before the visit? Who fabricates the glass, and how long until it's in your frame? Does the warranty cover parts AND labor, in writing? Is home-window repair the specialty or a side menu? And will they tell you when the cheaper fix is the honest one? We built WowFix to win on exactly these questions — which is also an admission of what we think matters.
The one-evening method for picking your glass company.

Where We Work
Book your service today
No stock footage, no actors — this is one of our actual jobs. Watch a rotted, fogged-out window brought back to flawless, like-new glass.
Snap a clear photo of every foggy, cracked or stuck window in natural light. Morning light shows fog between the panes best and lets us quote faster — often before we arrive.
Jot down the symptom per window — fog between the glass, won't open or stay up, draft, cracked pane, or rotted frame. It tells us whether it's a glass-only swap (from $198) or hardware/wood work.
Move furniture, blinds and décor back roughly three feet so our crew can measure and work safely. It keeps the visit quick and your things out of the way.
If you have the original window brand, a sticker in the frame, or install paperwork, set it aside. It's not required, but it helps us match glass and parts on the first trip.
Unlock gates, secure pets, and clear the exterior path to the windows. Most glass-unit work is done from both sides, so outside access keeps everything one visit.
Decay cut out completely and rebuilt in real wood — no filler, no new window.
We fabricate an exact-profile piece from laminated lumber and splice it in.
New glass built to the window's exact size — frame and trim untouched.
The pane is the part that failed — so the pane is the part we replace.
A failed seal, not a failed window: the sealed unit is swapped, the frame stays.
Rotted bottom rebuilt on-site — a fraction of the ~$10,000 a new door runs.
