Larger glass scales with area and glass type — and the exact number goes in writing before work starts. **Q: Why did another Charlotte company quote me more for the same foggy window?** A: Most glass shops order their sealed units from a wholesaler and pass the markup on. We build the unit in-house, so the swap starts at $198. Same fix, shorter supply chain — see the [honest comparison of Charlotte glass companies](/best-glass-repair-companies-charlotte/) for how the quotes stack up. **Q: Is it ever cheaper to just replace the whole window?** A: Almost never for fog. Fog is a $198 seal failure; replacement is a $1,000+ construction job that throws away a healthy frame. Replacement earns its price only when the frame itself is rotted or broken — and we tell you that in writing when it's true. **Q: Does insurance or a home warranty cover foggy glass?** A: Homeowner policies usually treat seal failure as wear and tear, so most clients pay out of pocket — which is exactly why the repair-vs-replace price gap matters. We give itemized paperwork you can submit either way. **Q: How much for a whole house with several foggy windows?** A: Each unit is priced by its own glass size — from $198 apiece — and one visit handles all of them. Send photos of every foggy window and the written quote covers the lot. ## Serving NC & Surrounding Areas Same pricing, wherever our crews run — find your city below.
