Window & Door Glass Replacement
You may not need a new window. You may just need new glass.
A cracked, broken, or fogged window doesn't always mean the entire window needs to be replaced. In many cases, Mesko Glass Company can replace the glass while keeping the existing window frame and sash intact, a simpler and often more affordable solution than purchasing a completely new window.
Did you know?
Fogged window? Don't replace the whole window just yet.
Since 1958, homeowners throughout the Poconos and surrounding communities have trusted Mesko Glass for professional glass replacement. Our experienced team works with many types of windows and doors, including single-pane and insulated glass, fixed and operable windows, patio doors, tempered glass, and more.
How window glass replacement works
Replacement glass isn't pulled from a shelf in a standard size. Each glass unit is custom fabricated to fit your existing window or door.
Our team identifies the type of glass needed and takes precise measurements of the existing opening. The replacement unit is then custom ordered and, once received, installed into your existing sash or frame. By replacing only the failed or damaged glass, you may be able to extend the life of your existing windows without the cost and disruption of a full window replacement.

Why is there fog or moisture between my window panes?
If you see fog, condensation, or a cloudy appearance between the panes of a double-pane window, wiping the inside or outside of the window won't fix it.
Most modern double-pane windows are made with an insulated glass unit (IGU): two panes of glass separated by a sealed airspace. That sealed unit helps insulate your home and improve the window's energy efficiency. Over time the seal around the glass can fail, and moisture enters the space between the panes, creating the fogging or condensation you see.
Once an insulated glass unit has lost its seal, it is no longer performing as designed. The good news is that the entire window may not need to be replaced. In many cases we can order a new insulated glass unit specifically for your existing window and replace the failed glass while leaving the rest of the window in place.
Step 1
The seal fails
Moisture gets between the panes. Wiping either side will not touch it, because the fog is sealed inside the unit.
Step 2
We replace the unit
We measure the opening and order a new insulated glass unit built for your window. The old one comes out; your frame and sash stay.
Step 3
Clear again
The new unit seats in the window you already own, insulating the way it was designed to.
Broken or cracked glass?
We can also replace glass that has been cracked, broken, chipped, or otherwise damaged. Depending on the application, our team can determine the appropriate type of replacement glass, including insulated, tempered, annealed, or other specialty glass.
Two convenient repair options
Drop-off repair
If your window or patio door sash can be removed, bring it to our East Stroudsburg showroom. We'll measure the existing glass, order the custom replacement, and install the new glass into your sash when it arrives.
In-home service
Can't remove or transport the sash? Our residential team can come to your home, evaluate the window or door, identify the appropriate glass, take precise measurements, and provide an estimate. Once approved, we'll order your custom glass and return to complete the installation.
Because replacement glass is custom fabricated, turnaround times vary based on the type of glass, manufacturer availability, and time of year. Our team will provide current expected timing when your order is placed.
Warranty
Insulating glass units we install carry a 10-year manufacturer's warranty against seal failure from the date of installation. We track it for you in our own system, so there's nothing to register. If a seal fails in the warranty period, we provide the replacement unit; an installation service fee applies. The insulating glass units themselves are manufactured to ASTM specifications. Financing available through Wisetack.
Repair or replace? We'll help you decide.
Not every damaged window needs to become a major home improvement project. If the frame and other components of your window are still in good condition, replacing the glass may be the most practical and cost-effective solution. And if your window has reached the end of its useful life and full replacement makes more sense, Mesko Glass also offers replacement window options.

Common Questions
Can you replace just the glass in my window instead of replacing the entire window?
In many cases, yes. If the window frame and sash are still in good condition, we may be able to replace only the damaged or failed glass unit. This can be a more cost-effective option than replacing the entire window. Our team can evaluate your window and help determine which makes the most sense.
Can you replace fogged or cloudy window glass?
Yes. Fog or condensation between the panes of an insulated window typically indicates that the seal around the insulated glass unit has failed. The moisture between the panes cannot simply be wiped away or cleaned. In many cases, we can replace the failed insulated glass unit while keeping the existing window and frame.
How long does replacement window glass take?
Most replacement glass is custom fabricated for your specific window or door. Lead times vary depending on the type of glass, size, fabrication requirements, and supplier availability. Our team will provide an estimated timeframe when you place your order.
Is the replacement insulating glass under warranty?
Yes. Insulating glass units we install carry a 10-year manufacturer's warranty against seal failure from the date of installation, and we track it for you in our own system. There's nothing to register.
