Professional Windshield Replacement
Safe, precise installation for cars, trucks, and SUVs. We use high-quality materials to restore your vehicle's structural integrity and get you back on the road safely.
When is a Full Replacement Necessary?
While small chips can often be repaired, significant damage compromises your safety and requires a full replacement. We don't do salesy — if your windshield can be fixed with a simple repair, we'll tell you. But it's time to replace your windshield if you notice:
Cracks longer than a dollar bill.
Chips or cracks that are directly in the driver's line of sight.
Damage that has penetrated both layers of the laminated glass.
Cracks that start at the edge of the windshield and are spreading.
Multiple chips or extensive pitting that obstructs vision.
Our Windshield Replacement Process
When you call us for windshield replacement, here's exactly what we do. No surprises, just honest work done right.
Assess Damage & Remove Old Windshield
We begin by inspecting the damage and carefully removing the old, cracked windshield, moldings, and urethane adhesive while protecting your vehicle's paint and interior. Your glass guys take care of your car like it's our own.
Prepare the Pinch Weld
The vehicle's frame where the windshield sits, known as the pinch weld, is thoroughly cleaned of old adhesive and debris. We then apply a special primer to prevent rust and ensure a perfect bond. This step matters. Skip it and you'll have problems later.
Apply New Urethane Adhesive
Using industry-leading, OEM-specification urethane, we apply a consistent, even bead to the prepared frame. This adhesive is critical for creating a watertight seal and maintaining structural strength. We don't cut corners here.
Set the New Windshield
Your new, high-quality windshield is carefully and precisely placed into the frame, ensuring a perfect fit and alignment for optimal safety and performance. One shot to get it right, and we do.
Curing and Final Inspection
We allow the urethane to cure for the manufacturer-recommended time to guarantee a safe bond. After cleaning the new glass and re-installing any components, we perform a final inspection to ensure a perfect, leak-free installation. No rushing. We follow through completely.

Windshield Replacement FAQs
Most windshield replacements take 60 to 90 minutes. That's the honest timeframe — not the "we'll be done in 30 minutes" promise some shops make. We don't rush the job because proper curing time matters. The adhesive needs time to set correctly for your safety. When you call us, let's see if we can work around your schedule so you're not stuck waiting around all day.
You can drive right away, but we recommend waiting at least one hour before hitting the road. The adhesive reaches safe bonding strength within that first hour. No surprises here — we'll tell you exactly when it's safe to drive. Some shops say "drive immediately," but that's cutting corners. Your safety is worth an extra hour of patience.
Yes, we work with most major insurance companies and handle the paperwork for you. We'll contact your insurer directly and let you know your deductible upfront. No hidden fees or surprise charges later. Many policies cover windshield replacement with zero deductible — we'll find out exactly what your coverage includes before we start any work.
OEM glass comes from your vehicle's original manufacturer — the exact same specs as when your car rolled off the assembly line. OEE glass meets the same safety standards but comes from a different manufacturer. Both are quality options. We'll explain which type we're installing and why. No salesy upselling — just honest information so you can make the right choice for your situation.
Absolutely. We warranty our windshield installations for as long as you own your vehicle.
