Glass Repair in New Westminster, BC

Careful glass work in BC's oldest city

New Westminster — the Royal City — has been here since 1859, and whole neighbourhoods, Queen's Park above all, still look it. Character homes with original wood windows are a point of pride for their owners, and the last thing they need is a glazier who treats a 1912 sash like a 2012 vinyl frame.

We work slowly in old houses. Paint lines get scored before stops come off, original glass that can be saved gets saved, and everything we remove leaves with us. Homes here have also survived plenty of previous repair attempts — we take the time to undo old shortcuts before new glass goes in. A broken pane in a character home is a repair job, not a sales pitch for new windows, and that's how we've earned referrals across Brow of the Hill and the older streets of Glenbrooke.

Wood double-hung windows: repair first

The double-hung wood windows in Queen's Park, Sapperton and the city's older blocks were built to be maintained, not replaced. Putty dries out, a sash cord lets go, a pane cracks — and too often the whole window gets condemned when it needs a few careful hours of work.

We reglaze original sashes, replace individual panes, and re-putty the old-fashioned way so the repair actually holds. While a sash is out, we can sort the little things too — stiff operation, tired putty lines elsewhere in the same window. Where original wavy glass is broken, we source the closest match available and tell you honestly how close it will look before you commit. The way we handle older windows comes down to one rule: save what's worth saving.

High-rise glass at the Quay and downtown

Down the hill it's a different side of New Westminster: riverfront towers along the Quay, condos around Columbia and Sixth, and newer buildings up at Victoria Hill. The routine calls are for balcony doors, bedroom windows, and sealed units fogging up twenty storeys over the river — and strata paperwork is part of the job. Insurance certificates, elevator bookings, permitted work hours: we've worked under all of it.

If you're a property manager watching sealed units fail across a whole building, we can quote unit-by-unit or floor-by-floor, whatever suits the budget cycle. Residents get the same care as house calls — floors protected, old glass carried out, no mess left in the hallways.

Shops, services and rentals across the city

Columbia Street and Sixth Street still run on small businesses, and we look after their glass: storefront panels, entry doors, and interior work like mirrors for studios, gyms and barbershops. A cracked shop window gets measured fast and replaced fast, because a boarded storefront costs you customers by the day. We've replaced glass for cafes, boutiques, salons and offices along both streets, often outside business hours so nobody loses trading time.

Uptown, Twelfth Street and the downtown core all get the same quick turnaround. Rental suites and apartment blocks across New Westminster get the same care too — mirrored closet doors, cabinet glass, tabletops. Our commercial glass service covers the storefront side in more detail.

Emergency line and free estimates

Glass breaks on its own schedule, so ours runs 24/7 — call (778) 785-1365 any time and we'll secure the opening first, then come back to fit the new panel as soon as it arrives. Estimates are always free, a standard pane replacement usually comes in at the low hundreds, and you'll have an exact number before work starts. We're a family-run shop, and the person who quotes your job is the person who shows up. Photos sent through our contact page get you a faster quote.
