Cracked, broken, or foggy glass — we replace it all
Whether a storm threw debris through your slider, a stray ball cracked the panel, or the seal failed and the glass is foggy with condensation, we measure, source, and install replacement glass that matches your existing door.
We work with single-pane, dual-pane insulated, tempered safety glass, and hurricane-impact (PGT WinGuard, CGI Sentinel, ES Windows, etc.) sliding panels.
Insulated dual-pane glass for energy savings
Florida code and your AC bill both reward insulated low-E glass. Modern dual-pane units cut radiant heat gain by 30–50% vs old single-pane glass — meaningful savings in a Tampa Bay summer.
We can upgrade old single-pane sliders to dual-pane low-E when you replace damaged glass: better cooling, less noise, less UV fading on your floors and furniture.
Hurricane-impact glass replacement
Need impact-rated glass for hurricane season? We install Florida Building Code (FBC) and Miami-Dade NOA approved sliding glass panels that meet the toughest wind-borne debris standards in the country.
Impact glass also qualifies most Florida homeowners for a wind-mitigation insurance discount — often paying for itself over a few policy renewals.
Foggy glass: why cleaning won't fix it
When you see fog or moisture between two panes of glass, the desiccant-filled seal around the perimeter has failed. Air and humidity are now trapped inside the IGU. There's no way to clean it from the outside — the glass unit itself has to be replaced.
We replace just the failed insulated glass unit (IGU) — your frame, hardware, and screen all stay. Most jobs take under 2 hours per panel once the glass arrives.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace just the glass without replacing the whole sliding door?
Yes — in most cases the frame and hardware are fine and only the glass panel needs to be replaced. We pull the panel, install new glass, and re-hang it.
How long does sliding glass door glass replacement take?
Once the custom glass arrives (typically 3–7 business days for insulated units, 2–3 weeks for impact-rated), the install itself is usually 1–2 hours per panel.
Do you offer hurricane-impact glass?
Yes — we install Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade NOA approved impact-rated sliding glass panels for storm protection and insurance discounts.
Why is my dual-pane glass foggy on the inside?
The seal between the panes has failed and moisture is trapped inside the insulated glass unit. The only fix is replacing the IGU — cleaning won't help.
How much does sliding door glass replacement cost in Tampa?
Standard insulated panels typically run $600–$1,400 installed; hurricane-impact panels run $1,200–$2,500+ depending on size. We give a firm quote after measuring.
Will new impact glass lower my insurance?
Most Florida homeowners qualify for a wind-mitigation discount when impact-rated openings are documented on a wind-mit inspection. Savings vary by carrier.
