Question 1

Do you offer 24/7 emergency glass repair in Washington DC?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we're available around the clock, every day of the year. If a window gets smashed, a storefront door breaks after hours, or you need emergency board-up following a break-in, call us at (571) 621-0898 and we'll get someone to you as quickly as possible. We serve Washington DC and the surrounding Maryland and Virginia areas.

Question 2

How fast can you respond to a broken window emergency?

Accepted Answer

Response times vary depending on location and time of day, but we prioritise emergency calls and aim to reach you within a few hours. For urgent situations where the property needs to be secured right away — such as after a break-in or storm damage — we'll board up the opening fast and then schedule the permanent glass repair or replacement at the earliest convenience.

Question 3

What is emergency board-up and when do I need it?

Accepted Answer

Emergency board-up is a temporary service where we cover a broken window or door opening with plywood or polycarbonate sheeting to secure your property until permanent glass can be installed. You'd need it after a break-in, storm damage, vehicle impact, or any situation where glass is completely shattered and your property is exposed. It's a quick, affordable way to protect your home or business overnight or over a weekend.

Question 4

Can you repair or replace storefront glass for my business?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Storefront glass repair and replacement is one of our most common commercial services. Whether it's a cracked panel, a shattered door, or a full storefront that needs upgrading, we handle it. We work with tempered glass, plate glass, and insulated glass units and can match the existing framing in most cases. We also try to minimise disruption so your business can stay open during the work where possible.

Question 5

Do you install security glass for commercial properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install security glass options including laminated glass, tempered glass, and impact-resistant glazing for storefronts, commercial doors, and office partitions. Security glass is a smart investment if your business is in a high-traffic area or you've experienced break-ins before. We'll walk you through the options and recommend what makes sense for your specific building and budget.

Question 6

What commercial glass services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We cover a full range of commercial glass work: storefront glass repair and replacement, plate glass replacement, commercial door repair, security glass installation, commercial window installation, glass office partitions, and high-rise glass. Whether you manage a single retail shop or a multi-storey office building in Washington DC, we can handle the job.

Question 7

My window glass is foggy between the panes — can you fix it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Foggy or cloudy glass between the panes is caused by a failed seal on a double-pane (insulated glass unit) window. The fix is to replace the glass unit itself — not necessarily the whole window frame. We carry out this kind of foggy glass replacement regularly for DC-area homeowners. It restores clarity, improves energy efficiency, and is usually far cheaper than a full window replacement.

Question 8

Do you repair or replace patio doors and glass shower doors?

Accepted Answer

Yes to both. For patio doors, we can replace cracked or broken glass panels, repair rollers and tracks, or do a full door replacement if needed. For glass shower doors, we offer repair of damaged frames and hinges as well as full frameless shower door installations. We use tempered safety glass for all shower and patio door work as required by building codes.

Question 9

Do you do skylight installation and repair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install new skylights and repair existing ones — including cracked skylight glass, leaking seals, and damaged frames. If your skylight has been damaged in a storm, we can also provide emergency board-up to prevent water getting in while a permanent fix is arranged. Skylights are specialist work and we take care to ensure a watertight finish every time.

Question 10

Are you licensed and insured to work in Washington DC?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Prestine Glass Solutions LLC is fully licensed and insured for glass repair and installation work in Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland. We carry general liability insurance on all jobs, so you're protected if anything unexpected happens on-site. We're happy to provide proof of insurance on request before any work begins.

Question 11

How much does glass repair or replacement cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the type of glass, size of the pane, and complexity of the job. A simple residential window glass replacement is generally more affordable than a large commercial storefront installation. We give free, no-obligation estimates before any work starts, so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises. Call us at (571) 621-0898 or fill out the form on our website to get a quote.

Question 12

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We're based in the Washington DC area and serve clients throughout DC, Northern Virginia (including Fairfax, Alexandria, and Falls Church), and Maryland (including Silver Spring, Bethesda, College Park, and surrounding communities). If you're not sure whether we cover your location, just give us a call — we're happy to check.
