What's broken? Find the right Kingston glass service
Find what's giving you trouble and go to that page. The work itself is done by an independent local pro we connect you with, who quotes it first. Everything here is for homes, rentals and businesses, not vehicles. Old wood sash or one torn window screen is worth sending on its own.
Windows
Windows: thermal units, broken panes, hardware and full replacements
Foggy thermal units
Haze trapped between the panes means the edge seal has gone. A new thermal unit is made to size for your existing frame.
Broken window glass
A cracked or smashed pane, made safe first. Plastic or a board covers it tonight; new glass follows once made.
Window repair
Cranks that spin, balances that let a sash drop, stiff locks, tired weatherstripping. Often that part is all that's worn.
Replacement windows
For frames that are soft, rotted at the sill or failing in several places. Each opening is measured, deep stone ones included.
Older homes
Older and heritage windows: old sash and storm windows
Wood window repair
Sticking sash, broken cords, loose glazing putty. Old wood sash can usually be restored, which suits the heritage districts too.
Storm windows
A second layer outside old sash that cuts drafts and takes the lake wind. Combination storms carry a window screen too.
Sliding & double-hung windows
Sliders that jam and double-hungs that won't stay up usually need rollers, balances or a clean track, not new windows.
Doors
Patio, entry and storm doors
Sliding door repair
A patio door that drags, won't latch or jumps its track. New rollers and a clean track often fix it without a new door.
Patio door replacement
When the frame, sill or glass seals have had enough. Openings in older and stone houses are rarely a standard size.
Entry doors
A draft around a front door is often weatherstripping or a worn sweep. Glass inserts, sidelights and new doors too.
Storm doors
A storm door that slams in the wind usually needs a closer or latch. Glass, screen inserts and new doors too.
Screens
Window screens and screen doors
Window screens
Torn mesh, bent frames, window screens lost over the winter. Most can be rescreened in the frame they already have.
Screen doors
Mesh, closers, rollers and handles on sliding and hinged screen doors, or a new door when the frame is bent.
Screens between tenancies
What to check on screens and glass when a lease ends, and why custom units should be ordered early.
Glass & mirrors
Showers, mirrors, closet doors and glass cut to size
Shower glass doors
New enclosures, single panels and replacement doors, plus hinges and seals for the shower glass you already have.
Mirrors
Mirrors cut to fit a wall, a vanity or a home gym, with plain or bevelled edges, hung by a pro who does that work.
Mirrored closet doors
Sliding mirror doors that jump the track or have a cracked panel. Rollers and single panels can often be replaced alone.
Custom glass
Tabletops, shelves, cabinet glass and panes for storms or sash, cut to your measurements or a paper template.
Commercial
Commercial glass for shops and rental buildings
Storefront glass
A shop window broken overnight: secure it, photograph it for the insurer, board it, then replace the glass properly.
Commercial glass doors
Lobby and shop doors that won't close, drag or lock. Closers, pivots and door glass come before a whole new door.
Property managers
Fogged units, torn window screens and cracked panes across several units or houses, sent as one request.
