How much does window glass replacement cost

Replacing the glass keeps the frame and swaps the pane or the sealed insulated unit. The price is the glass, which depends on type and size, plus labor to remove the old pane, set the new one and seal it. Fixr gives glass prices by type, material only, and says labor adds about $50 to $125.

Glass	Material per pane (Fixr)
Single pane	$150 to $400
Double pane	$150 to $600
Triple pane	$400 to $950
Tempered	$180 to $700
Laminated	$275 to $625
Low-E coated	$350 to $840

As a check, Fixr's average job is about $375 for a 30 by 36 inch double-pane sliding window, and Bob Vila gives $180 to $411, about $281. Size moves a pane within its range.

Fogged panes, broken panes and frames

A double pane that fogs between the glass has lost its seal; the sealed unit is replaced, not cleaned. A cracked single pane is a simple swap. If the frame is soft or broken, Fixr and Bob Vila both put a wood frame repair at $175 to $300 including labor. Bob Vila notes most glaziers charge about $50 to $75 an hour, and Fixr puts emergency glass service at $120 to $150 an hour.

A worked example: two tempered panes

Two tempered panes in a door and a wood frame repair.

Glass and labor. 2 × ($180 + $50) / ($440 + $87.50) / ($700 + $125) = $460 / $1,055 / $1,650.
Frame repair. $175 / $238 / $300.
Total. $635 to $1,950, about $1,293 typical.
