Storefront Glass Replacement Cost

glass-cost-new-orleans-1Commercial storefront glass pricing depends on the size of the opening, the type of glass (tempered, laminated, or insulated), and whether the aluminum framing needs repair or replacement.

  • Single commercial glass door replacement: $400 – $800
  • Standard plate glass storefront panel (per panel, up to 48″ x 96″): $300 – $700
  • Full storefront system replacement (door + sidelites + transom): $1,500 – $4,000+

  • Aluminum storefront frame repair or replacement: priced separately based on scope

Star Glass works directly with commercial insurance carriers for storefront glass claims. In many cases, we can bill your insurance directly — call (504) 368-8826 for a same-day estimate and to start the insurance process.

Residential Window Glass Replacement Cost

Window glass replacement pricing depends on the size, type of glass, and whether you need a single pane replaced or an entire insulated glass unit (IGU) for a fogged or failed double-pane window.

  • Single-pane window glass replacement (per pane, standard sizes): $75 – $200
  • Double-pane insulated glass unit (IGU) replacement for fogged windows: $150 – $400 per unit
  • Custom or oversized window glass (large panes, specialty shapes): priced on request
  • Patio door glass replacement (sliding door panel): $250 – $500
  • Historic or specialty glass (wavy glass, obscure patterns, leaded): priced on request — Star Glass is SHPO/HDLC approved

If your windows are fogged up between the panes, that means the seal has failed, and the insulated glass unit needs to be replaced — not the entire window frame. Star Glass can replace just the glass, saving you the cost of full window replacement. Call (504) 368-8826 for a free estimate.

Glass Railing Installation Cost

Glass railing systems add a clean, modern look to decks, balconies, staircases, and commercial spaces. Pricing depends on the linear footage, the mounting system (post-mounted vs. channel-mounted), and the glass type.

  • Commercial glass railing systems: priced on scope and specifications
  • Glass type: tempered safety glass (standard) or laminated glass (premium, additional cost)
