Window Pane Replacement and Repair: A Clear Solution
Windows are our visual connection to the world outside—a canvas for sunlight, rainbows, and cityscapes. But when a window pane cracks or fogs up, it’s time for repair. Here’s how to tackle it:
Measure and Choose:
Measure the Pane Opening: Precisely measure the existing window pane, subtracting ⅛ inch for natural glass expansion. Accuracy matters.- Choose Your Replacement Pane: Opt for energy-efficient glass if upgrading. For historic homes, consult a restoration specialist.
Remove the Broken Glass and Putty:
- Safety First: Wear gloves, safety glasses, and long sleeves. Tape cracked areas to prevent shards.
- Chisel Away Glazing Bead: Gently chip away glazing beadwork surrounding the pane.
- Tap and Coax: Tap the glass with a blunt tool, coaxing it out of the frame. Taped cracks ensure it comes out in larger pieces.
Replace and Seal:
- Insert New Pane: Fit the new pane into the frame, ensuring compatibility with surrounding panes.
- Apply Fresh Putty: Apply fresh glazing compound to secure the pane.
- Smooth and Clean: Smooth the putty, wipe off excess, and let it cure.
Remember, window pane repair isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about preserving your view and connecting with the world beyond.
Customer Review
I just had 15 fogged and/or broken window panes replaced by Swiper Kingz and I cannot overstate how happy I am with the results. Clifford and Geneva were great; very knowledgeable and helpful in answering all of my questions when they came to take the measurements. They took the time to understand my needs and recommend the best window glass for my home. I went with RLE (Low-E) glass and I'm very impressed with the quality and the look. Clifford and his installation crew did a great job. They were very neat and efficient. Swiper Kingz's quote was lower than another company I had used in the past, yet they did a much better job and the whole process was painless and professional. I would highly recommend Swiper Kingz to anyone who is looking for a reliable and professional window pane replacement company.

I’m just a little late posting my review, but Geneva and Clifford cleaned my windows just after the first of December. They did a remarkable job and I will certainly be calling them to do the cleaning on a regular basis.
However when they were here, Clifford pointed out that I had four windows that had started to fog up because the seals had been broken. They gave me an estimate & it was comparable or cheaper than other vendors. Ultimately I gave them the go-ahead and I had my windows and installed within four days (well before my Christmas festivities). I will definitely call them again should I need window replacement in the future!

Great work, great communication! Clifford and Geneva are very professional and very personable. All companies should be like this. From the first visit to measure the windows, then ordered the glass. He said he’d be in touch when the order came in. I received a call from Geneva yesterday. Clifford arrived today and completed the installation quickly. Windows are so clean, I swear I could reach out and touch the bushes outside. Very fast and great work! I highly recommend them for your window needs. A+++++
