Windshield Replacement in New Orleans

New Orleans roads are hard on windshields. Between the road conditions, gravel and debris on elevated stretches of I-10, and a climate that accelerates chip and crack spread in ways that milder climates don’t, windshield damage is one of the most common vehicle issues in the metro. Star Glass Inc. has been replacing and repairing windshields for drivers in Jefferson Parish, Orleans Parish, and the surrounding area for over 30 years. We handle everything from minor chip repairs to full OEM-equivalent replacements.

Repair or Replace — How to Know

Not every damaged windshield requires full replacement. Chips smaller than a quarter and cracks shorter than three inches can often be repaired — quickly, affordably, and in many cases at no cost to you if you have comprehensive insurance.

Replacement is the right call when the crack is longer than three inches, the chip is larger than a quarter, the damage is in the driver’s direct line of sight, the damage runs to the edge of the glass, or there’s already been a previous repair in that area.

When in doubt, have us take a look. A quick assessment takes a few minutes and can save you the cost of a replacement you might not need — or confirm that repair isn’t an option and you need to move forward.

Louisiana Insurance and Your Windshield Claims

Louisiana doesn’t have a zero-deductible windshield replacement law like Florida, so your cost depends on your comprehensive coverage deductible. However, many Louisiana insurers will waive the deductible for a repair since it costs them less than a replacement.

We work with all major insurance providers and handle the claims process on your behalf. We’ll help you figure out whether filing a claim makes sense based on your deductible before you commit.
