The following questions come from real calls we have handled with Charlotte-area homeowners over the last 45 days. We answer these directly to help you understand how our pricing and measuring process works. Please note that we do not provide same-day visits, emergency services, or promised arrival times; on-site visits are scheduled Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM based on our current workload.
How do I get a quote for replacing a foggy window?
If you have a window with condensation between the panes (a foggy window), you can get a phone quote for $0. For a standard sealed glass unit (IGU), the price ranges from $198 to $480 depending on the size and glass type. For example, a 24x24 double-pane vinyl window costs $204, while a 36x36 double-pane vinyl window is $284 (or $344 if it has grids). We repair every brand and frame material, including wood, vinyl, and aluminum. Our own crew does the work, and we provide a 5-year written workmanship warranty. If we can’t fix it, you don’t pay. You can find more details in our foggy window repair guide.
How much does it cost to replace a single pane of glass?
For a single-pane glass replacement cut to size, the price starts from $164 as a flat minimum per pane. This is a firm price for standard repairs provided over the phone with no trip fee. While the technician will always confirm the final measurements on-site before any glass is cut to ensure a perfect fit, the phone quote serves as your baseline. We do not handle shower doors, auto glass, scratch polishing, plexiglass, stained glass, pet doors, or blinds-between-glass. All other glass repair work is performed by our own crew with a guarantee of no fix, no charge.
What is the cost to replace a large sliding door glass panel?
For a standard 42x72 tempered sliding-door panel, the cost is $774. This is a fraction of the cost of a full door repair or replacement; a new patio door typically costs about $10,000. By replacing only the glass unit rather than the entire door frame, you save thousands of dollars. Our technicians handle the measurement and installation, and the work is backed by a 5-year written workmanship warranty. If the glass is a non-standard size, the price is quoted by size during the call.
How long does it take to get new glass windows made?
Most sealed glass units (IGUs) are built the same day using our own patent-pending mobile glass process, meaning there is usually no waiting for a factory order. This allows us to complete the repair much faster than traditional companies. However, if your project requires custom glass, that is ordered from our suppliers, and the specific timing is answered case by case on the call. Once the glass is ready, our crew handles the installation. We provide written quotes via text or email upon request to keep the process transparent.
Can a contractor provide the measurements instead of a technician visit?
Yes, a contractor or homeowner can provide measurements over the phone to get a quote. However, our technicians will always confirm the actual measurements on-site before any glass is cut to ensure the fit is exact. For standard repairs, the phone quote is a firm flat price with no trip fee. For custom work that requires a detailed on-site assessment, there is a $75 estimate fee, which is credited back to you when you book the job. This ensures that the materials ordered are exactly what the frame requires.
How do I measure a double hung window for a quote?
When calling about a window that slides up and down (double hung), provide the width and height of the glass area. If you are unsure of the exact fraction, that is fine; our team can work with your rough estimate to give you a ballpark figure. For example, a 36x36 double-pane vinyl window is $284. If the window also won’t stay up, you may need a sash balancer, which costs $175 per window. We repair all frame materials, and you can compare these costs against a full window replacement, where a new wood window can cost about $2,000.
What is the cost to replace a storm window?
The cost for replacing glass in a storm window is quoted by size during the call. If it is a single pane, it starts from the $164 flat minimum. We provide these quotes over the phone for $0. Our process is designed to be repair-first, meaning we fix the existing frame whenever possible. This is significantly cheaper than replacing the entire unit. All our work is performed by our own crew, and we offer a 5-year written workmanship warranty on all installations to ensure the seal and fit are correct.
How do I get a quote for a window that is 10 feet by 4 feet?
For oversized glass, such as a 10x4 foot pane, the price is quoted by size on the call. Because this exceeds standard dimensions, it may be classified as custom glass. Custom glass is ordered from our suppliers, and the lead time is provided case by case during the consultation. If the project is a standard repair, the phone quote is $0. If it requires a custom on-site estimate, the $75 fee applies and is credited back upon booking. We do not offer emergency services, but we schedule all visits Monday through Friday.
The short version
WowFix provides phone quotes for $0 for standard window and door repairs. Sealed glass units (IGUs) range from $198 to $480, while single-pane glass starts at $164. We use a mobile glass process to build most units the same day, avoiding long factory waits. All work is done by our own crew, carries a 5-year warranty, and follows a “no fix, no charge” policy. We operate Monday-Friday, 9 AM-6 PM, and do not provide emergency or same-day service.
