Glass Repair in Burnaby, BC
From the towers around Metrotown to post-war bungalows near Deer Lake, we repair and replace broken glass across Burnaby — often the same day you call.
Condo and strata glass in Metrotown, Brentwood and beyond
Burnaby has some of the busiest high-rise neighbourhoods in BC, and towers mean glass — balcony doors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sealed units that start to fog as buildings age. We're in condos around Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds and Lougheed most weeks, so the building routine is second nature: booking the service elevator, protecting the common hallways, and working inside whatever hours your strata allows.
If your property manager needs a written quote or proof of insurance, we send it over without being chased. And when a sealed unit fogs ten storeys up, we replace the glass unit itself and leave your frame alone — the standard fix, and the one that keeps strata costs sensible. Townhouse complexes and ground-floor commercial strata units get the same treatment: one crew, one quote, no runaround between owners and managers.
Foggy sealed units: Burnaby's most common call
Double-pane windows don't last forever. When the perimeter seal on a sealed unit fails, moist air works its way between the panes and the glass fogs from the inside — wipe it all you like, the cloud is trapped inside the unit. In Burnaby's towers and 80s-era townhome complexes, where every window was glazed the same year, units tend to fail in waves.
The fix is a new sealed unit in your existing frame. We measure, have the unit made to size, and swap it in without touching trim or siding — most swaps take under an hour per window once the glass is ready. If several have gone at once, we quote them as a batch to keep the per-window cost down. Our window glass repair page explains the process in more detail.
Window glass for Burnaby's post-war homes
Around Capitol Hill, Deer Lake and Forest Hills, the streets are lined with solid 1950s and 60s bungalows — many still running original wood windows or early aluminum sliders. We replace cracked panes, fogged double-pane units, and the thin single-pane basement windows that sweat all winter long.
A broken or foggy window rarely means you need a new window. Fresh glass in the existing frame solves most problems at a fraction of replacement cost, and we'll tell you honestly which situation you're in. Not sure what you're looking at? A photo sent through our contact page gets you a straight answer and a rough number before anyone drives out.
Patio door glass, replaced properly
Sliding patio doors take a beating — kids, dogs, barbecues, the odd rock off a lawn mower. When a panel shatters, tempered safety glass crumbles into pebble-sized pieces instead of dangerous shards, which is reassuring right up until you're staring at an empty door frame.
We replace broken and fogged patio door glass with tempered panels cut to size: one visit to measure and secure the opening, one to install once the glass arrives. While the panel is out we check the rollers and track, so the door slides the way it should when we're done. If you'd like to see finished work before booking, our gallery shows recent jobs from around the Lower Mainland.
Emergency glass repair, day or night
A smashed window at 11 pm can't wait for morning. Our emergency line is answered 24/7, and Burnaby's central spot in the region means we can usually reach you fast — board up, secure the opening, and come back with the new glass as soon as it's ready. Break-ins, accidents and storm damage all get the same response.
Estimates are always free: call (778) 785-1365, describe what happened, and we'll give you honest numbers on cost and timing. Most standard window glass replacements land in the low hundreds, and your exact quote costs nothing either way. Common questions are covered on our FAQ page — but when the window is already broken, a phone call is faster.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with Burnaby strata councils and property managers?
Yes — a large share of our Burnaby work is in condos and townhomes, and we deal with strata councils and property managers every week. We provide written quotes, proof of insurance, and scheduling that respects building rules, including elevator bookings and permitted work hours.
How fast can you get to Metrotown or Brentwood?
For emergencies, typically within hours — Burnaby is central to our service area, so travel time is short. Standard repairs are usually booked same day or next day, and made-to-order sealed units go in as soon as the glass arrives.
Can you replace just the glass in my foggy patio door?
In most cases, yes. If the frame and rollers are in decent shape, we swap the sealed glass unit only — no new door needed. It's the most common patio door job we do, and it costs far less than replacing the whole door.
Do you replace small basement windows in older bungalows?
All the time. Post-war homes around Capitol Hill and Deer Lake often have original basement windows with thin single panes. We replace broken glass and can upgrade to sealed double-pane units where the frame allows, which helps with both warmth and condensation.
