GLASS, MIRRORS & SCREENS
Broken and fogged window glass replacement
Replace cracked panes or fogged sealed units after identifying which glass component has failed. The scope protects the surrounding sash and distinguishes glass replacement from a damaged frame or a larger leakage problem.
START WITH THE DETAILS
What goes into
the work.
Measure the visible opening and record glass thickness or spacer details if known. Never remove broken glass to measure; final fabrication requires verification.
Typical scope to confirm
- Document cracked glass or condensation location
- Measure and identify the required glass type
- Remove damaged glass and fit the selected replacement
- Restore seals/stops and clean the affected work area

PERMIT PLANNING
Usually cosmetic work
Usually a finish-only scope when the structure, room use and utilities stay unchanged. This is a starting classification, not an address-specific exemption; confirm any related regulated work before starting.
- Opening walls or changing structural support
- Moving or adding wiring, plumbing or ventilation
- Historic exterior restrictions or regulated-material removal
ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Engineering is not usually needed
Engineering is not usually part of this finish-only scope. Stop for review if hidden damage, structural changes or unusual support loads are found.
- New structural work or damaged framing
- Unverified heavy-load support
Confirm requirements with the city or county responsible for the property before work begins. The address, exact scope and adopted code determine the final requirements.
