Picture this: a stray baseball, a harsh winter draft, or maybe just the toll of time; suddenly, your window glass is cracked. The first step is simple: reach out to us.

Contacting us is easy, by phone, our website form or a simple email to describe the issue and get things rolling. It doesn’t matter if it’s a small chip or a shattered pane, our team at Rhino Glass Repair will schedule a same-day or next-day technician visit to assess the situation.

We all know how unsettling a broken window can be, especially when you’re worried about your safety or comfort. That’s why our goal is always to make the process quick, clear, and stress-free from the very first conversation.

Step 2: On-Site Evaluation and Quote

Once our technician arrives, it’s time for a closer look. Windows are serious business, so we’ll assess the entire frame, glass type, and surrounding structure to ensure no hidden issues and that we’ll get the full extent of the damage.

To ensure a precise fit for the replacement glass, we’ll take exact measurements, which we’ll also need for the cost estimate. Our creed is “no hidden fees,” so any estimate will be transparent and detailed, no “gotchas” or surprise charges. 

After you approve the quote, we’ll lock in the schedule for your replacement. It’s as simple as that.

Step 3: Glass Ordering and Preparation

The next step is where things get serious (yes, they’ve been serious before, too, just in case you’re wondering. Based on the measurements, we order premium-grade glass made exactly to your window’s specifications.

Whether you need tempered, laminated, or energy-efficient glass, our team sources materials that meet both building code standards and your personal needs. For example, tempered glass is a great choice for busy households to avoid sharp shards and splinters in case something goes wrong. And you can never go wrong with energy-efficient glass to keep heating costs down, we all know how Toronto winters can get.

Before coming to your place for the installation, we double-check all specifications to make sure the new glass fits perfectly, right down to the millimetre.

The big moment has come, it’s installation day. Our technicians have all the tools and materials needed for the installation, ensuring it goes off smoothly and efficiently. It all starts with carefully removing the damaged glass and cleaning the frame of any debris to ensure we get a secure, airtight seal. 

Next up, the new glass is aligned, sealed, and, of course, cleaned. Throughout the entire process, you can rest assured that your flooring and furnishings are well-protected from dirt and debris.

Once the glass is in, we’ll tidy up the work area and remove any debris and leftover materials.
