A broken Shadyside pane vs. replacing the whole window

One cracked light is usually a glazing job, not a whole-house window project.

A single broken pane in an otherwise sound sash is glass work. The sash can often be repaired and put back in service. A rotted sill, a failed frame, or a unit that's already a later replacement with a failed seal is a different quote.

We will not invent an energy-savings number for new windows, and we will not claim a repair will 'cut your bill in half.' We'll talk about whether the sash closes and the glass is sound.

If the break just happened and the opening is on the first floor, secure it first. Then schedule the glass.

Neighbors with similar old openings sometimes start on a closer page such as Point Breeze window and door repair or Edgewood windows and doors. The advice is the same: repair what's repairable.
