Broken or storm-damaged windows?

Hail and wind-blown debris can crack glass, tear screens, dent aluminum wraps, and break window seals. A failed seal lets moisture in and fogs the glass. We connect you with an independent local window contractor for a free inspection.

Frequently asked questions

Does homeowners insurance cover broken windows from hail?

Generally yes. Storm damage to windows, screens, and frames is typically covered under the dwelling portion of the policy, subject to your deductible.

Are torn window screens worth reporting?

Yes. Torn or dented screens are common evidence of hail size and direction, and they help support roof and siding claims too.

What causes fog between window panes?

A failed seal in an insulated glass unit. Impact or strong flexing during a storm can break seals, though seals also fail with age, which insurers may not cover.

Should I replace the whole window or just the glass?

If only the glass or the sealed unit is damaged, replacing the glass unit is often cheaper. Damaged frames, rot, or very old windows may justify full replacement.
