Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our glass and door repair services across the Greater Toronto Area.
Pricing & Cost
How much does foggy window repair cost in Toronto?
Foggy window repair is significantly more affordable than full window replacement - you're paying for just the sealed glass unit and a quick install rather than replacing the entire frame and hardware. The actual cost depends on glass size, type (double or triple pane), and accessibility. LuminaSky provides free quotes - most jobs can be priced from a few photos.
Foggy glass repair vs full window replacement - which is right for me?
Choose foggy glass repair when the frame is still in good shape and only the sealed glass unit has failed - it keeps your existing frame, sash, and hardware, which makes it a much more affordable option. Choose full replacement when the frame is rotted, severely outdated, or you're upgrading multiple windows for energy efficiency.
Services & Process
Can foggy windows be fixed without replacing the whole window?
Yes. In most cases we replace only the sealed glass unit (the foggy pane itself) while keeping your existing frame, sash, and hardware intact. It's a faster and less invasive process than a full window replacement.
What causes condensation between window panes?
Foggy windows happen when the seal around the insulated glass unit (IGU) fails, letting moisture get trapped between the panes. Common causes include age, extreme temperature swings, and original manufacturing issues. Once the seal breaks, the fog won't clear on its own - the unit needs to be replaced.
How long does foggy glass repair take?
The on-site work is usually quick - far less disruption than a full window replacement. After measurements are confirmed, the replacement glass unit needs to be ordered and produced. We'll give you a clear timeline based on your specific glass once we've assessed it.
Do you repair window cranks and hardware?
Yes. We replace and repair window cranks (operators), locks, hinges, and tilt mechanisms. Crank repair is one of the simpler fixes we offer and can extend the useful life of an otherwise solid window.
Can you repair patio door glass?
Yes. We replace foggy, cracked, or shattered glass in sliding and French patio doors. Once the replacement glass is ready, installation is straightforward.
