Savannah Window Co provides professional glass and insulated unit repair in Savannah, GA for residential and commercial properties across the lower Savannah and Ogeechee basins. Most people who call about a window need this and are quoted something else. A misted pane, a cracked lite or a seal that has given up is a repair to the glass. It is not a reason to pull out a frame still doing its job.
What has failed in a fogged window is the sealed unit, not the window. Two lites of glass are bonded to a spacer around the perimeter with a desiccant inside it, and the assembly holds dry gas between the panes. Once the seal lets go, damp air works its way in, the desiccant takes up all it can hold, and water starts forming on the inside faces that no cloth will ever reach.
The fix is to replace that unit. We measure the glass, its thickness, the coating and the spacer, order a matching sealed unit and fit it into the sash you already own. On most windows this is under an hour of work and a small fraction of a replacement window. The frame, the hardware and the trim are never touched.
On older Savannah houses there is a version of this job with a different name. Single-glazed sash held in with putty can be reglazed: broken lites out, old putty raked back, the rebate primed, new glass bedded and back-puttied properly. It keeps original wavy glass wherever it survives, which nothing sold today reproduces, and it costs less than any replacement window.
There is a reason this page matters more here than it would elsewhere. None of this work is on the city's list of residential projects needing a permit, because nothing about the opening is being altered. So none of it is valued, and none of it lands on the five-year cumulative total that decides whether an older house below base flood elevation must comply with the current ordinance.
That makes glass repair the sensible default for anybody whose flood file is already carrying weight, or who thinks it may need to carry a kitchen or a lift later. Keeping windows working through repair preserves the headroom for work that genuinely needs it, and that is the choice we make on our own houses.
Safety glazing is where we get firm. Glass in a door, beside a door, near a floor, near a tub or shower, or in a large lite low in the wall has to be tempered, and tempered glass cannot be cut after the fact. It is ordered to size and fabricated. If somebody has offered to cut a piece of annealed glass for a shower-adjacent opening, decline it.
We will also tell you when to stop repairing. If the sash has gone soft along the bottom rail, if the frame has moved so far that the sash no longer meets the sill, or if you are on the third failed unit in the same window, the assembly is finished and further repair is throwing money at it. That is the point where replacement is the honest recommendation, and we will make it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — pultruded fiberglass frames ordered to the measured opening, insert sash packs fitted inside an existing jamb, sill pans with end dams and a sloped back leg, flood-damage-resistant frame materials under FEMA Technical Bulletin 2, laminated impact glazing over a 0.090-inch interlayer, warm-edge spacers in argon-filled insulating glass units — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Savannah and nearby communities including Pooler, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Thunderbolt.

Materials, equipment and how we do glass and insulated unit repair
The difference between glass and insulated unit repair that lasts and glass and insulated unit repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with pultruded fiberglass frames ordered to the measured opening, insert sash packs fitted inside an existing jamb, sill pans with end dams and a sloped back leg, flood-damage-resistant frame materials under FEMA Technical Bulletin 2, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Savannah job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in the lower Savannah and Ogeechee basins means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
