Cracked, fogged, or damaged window glass replaced without swapping the full frame. Measured and installed by MG Glass in the Atlanta metro.
Atlanta's housing stock spans over 100 years, and window styles and frame sizes vary widely from home to home. At MG Glass, we handle window glass replacement for all of it — single pane windows in older additions, double pane insulated units in modern builds, and custom-sized frames in historic homes. We measure the actual window, confirm the glass type, and order a replacement that fits the existing frame.
Window glass replacement restores a damaged window without removing the entire frame. Most homeowners call us after noticing cracks, fog between panes, or surface damage. We check the glass and the surrounding frame. In most cases, replacing the glass brings the window back to full performance — clear views and proper insulation included.
Visible damage is the most common reason homeowners call us. A crack can spread across the pane after an impact or a sudden temperature change, and damaged glass creates safety concerns. We recommend window glass replacement as soon as damage appears. Foggy glass is the other frequent issue. Haze forms when the seal between double pane windows fails and moisture enters the chamber. Replacing the insulated unit eliminates the haze and restores insulation.
The type of window affects how the replacement works. Some older homes still have single pane windows in garages, additions, or utility areas. We remove the damaged pane and install new glass cut to fit the sash without major changes to the frame. Most modern homes use insulated glass units with two panes separated by a spacer system. When we replace one of these, we measure the full sealed assembly so the new unit restores the original insulation value.
Seal failure usually shows up as fog trapped between the panes. You might notice condensation, haze, or streaks inside the sealed chamber — cleaning the outer surface won't help. We inspect the spacer system and the perimeter seal during every visit. When the seal has failed, a new insulated glass unit clears the view and restores comfort inside the room.
Glass selection affects safety and energy performance. Building codes often require tempered glass near doors, stairways, or floor-level openings — we confirm whether your window needs safety-rated glass and order accordingly. Many homeowners pick replacement units with low-e coatings that reflect heat and cut cooling costs. Some units also include argon gas fills for added insulation.
Accurate measurement is the key to a proper fit. We measure the visible opening and confirm the true glass size for the sash — small size gaps can stop the glass from seating correctly. For insulated units, we also check glass thickness, spacer depth, and glazing pocket size. When these match the frame, the new panel sits right and seals tight.
Juan Marquez started MG Glass in 1999 with a pickup truck in Lawrenceville. He still oversees every project. The crew is licensed and insured, and we regularly take on jobs other companies pass on — unusual frame sizes, historic windows, older homes where nothing is standard. If something isn't right, we fix it.

Yes. In most cases, the frame and sash stay in place. We remove the damaged glass and install a new panel or insulated unit in the existing frame. Replacing just the glass costs far less than a full window swap.
Fog inside a double pane window means the perimeter seal has failed. Outside air and moisture have entered the chamber between the panes. The only fix is to replace the insulated glass unit. Cleaning the surface will not remove fog that forms inside.
Yes. Hot summers and cool winters cause window seals to expand and contract repeatedly. Over time, the stress breaks down the seal. South and west-facing windows tend to fail faster because they get the most direct sun and heat.
Most installs finish in one visit once the glass arrives. From first contact to finished install, the process takes one to two weeks depending on glass type.
Great communication, pricing and installation. Friendly and helpful guys were able to replace a custom build window. Thank you!
I can't justly describe the amount of money this team saved us on updating the 43 windows in our home. The team was first class from their survey to their installation process and production timelines. Other firms didn't get it right. Finally, they really stand by their work!
Update 10/1/2022 I've changed my rating to 5 stars. Last month MG Glass reached out to advise they received in the square hinges and asked if I wanted to swap out. Why of course!!! This is excellent customer service - own it and make it right! Love how my glass shower door. So many compliments. I've added a new pic of the square hinges. So far so good! Love the way my frameless shower door looks. The reason for the 4 star and not 5 star, my hardware doesn't match the style. The handle and clips are square but the hinges are curved.
