What Is Covered

Types of Glass Damage Typically Covered

Storm Damage

Wind, hail, flying debris, fallen trees, and extreme weather damage to windows, glass doors, skylights, and glass panels.

Break-In and Burglary

Glass broken during a break-in or attempted burglary is covered under dwelling coverage. A police report is required for the insurance claim.

Vandalism

Intentionally broken glass from vandalism, thrown objects, and malicious mischief is covered by most homeowners policies.

Accidental Impact

Glass broken by accidental impact -- a baseball, a rock from a lawnmower, a ladder, a bird strike, or other unintentional impacts -- is typically covered.

Fallen Trees and Branches

Trees and large branches that fall on your home and break windows are covered under your homeowners dwelling coverage.

Vehicle Impact

If a vehicle strikes your home and breaks glass, the damage is covered under your homeowners policy.

Our Documentation

What We Provide for Your Claim

Damage Photography

We photograph all damage from multiple angles, including interior, exterior, close-up, and wide shots. Our photos clearly show the extent of damage, the glass type affected, and any surrounding damage to frames, walls, or furnishings.

Detailed Measurements

We measure every damaged opening precisely and document the glass specifications including type, thickness, coatings, gas fill, and manufacturer. These details are essential for accurate insurance pricing and proper replacement.

Itemized Estimates

Our estimates itemize materials, labor, and any additional work (board-up, frame repair, cleanup). Each line item includes specifications that insurance companies need to verify appropriate pricing.

Specification Sheets

We provide technical specification sheets for the replacement glass including performance ratings, manufacturer data, and code compliance documentation. This supports the quality and necessity of the replacement materials.

Invoicing for Claims

Our invoices are formatted with all information insurance companies require -- contractor license number, itemized costs, specifications, installation dates, and warranty information. Insurance adjusters consistently accept our documentation without additional requests.

Supplemental Support

If your insurance company requests additional documentation, photos, specifications, or a meeting with the adjuster, we respond promptly. We have experience working with all major insurance companies in the DMV area.

How We Help

Expert Glass Makes Insurance Claims Easy

We Do Not Delay Repairs

A broken window is a security and weather hazard. We board up and replace the glass on schedule, not on the insurance company timeline. You get your home secured immediately while we process the claim paperwork in parallel.

We Know Insurance Language

Insurance adjusters speak a specific language about damage assessment, pricing, and documentation. With 20+ years of experience, we provide documentation in the format and detail level that adjusters expect, reducing back-and-forth and speeding approval.

We Are Available for Adjuster Visits

When an adjuster needs an on-site inspection, we can be present at your property to answer technical questions about the damage. Our expertise helps ensure the adjuster understands the scope of the repair and why our specifications are appropriate.

We Prepare Supplement Documentation

If the initial insurance estimate falls short, we prepare detailed supplement documentation showing the additional work or specifications needed. You submit this to your insurer. Supplements are common and our thorough documentation helps support approval.

Common Questions

Glass Insurance Claim FAQ

Does homeowners insurance cover broken windows?
Most homeowners insurance policies cover window damage caused by covered perils such as storms, hail, wind-driven debris, vandalism, break-ins, fallen trees, and accidental impact. The damage must be sudden and accidental -- gradual deterioration like seal failure and thermal stress cracks are generally excluded as maintenance issues. Your deductible applies to any covered claim.
What documentation do I need for a glass insurance claim?
You need photographs of the damage from multiple angles (inside and outside), a police report if the damage was caused by a crime, your policy number and insurance company contact information, and a detailed repair estimate or invoice from a licensed contractor. We provide all of the contractor documentation including photos, measurements, specifications, and itemized invoicing.
Will filing a glass claim raise my insurance premiums?
A single claim for covered damage typically does not significantly impact premiums, especially for weather-related claims that affect many properties in the area. However, multiple claims within a short period can trigger a rate increase. Some policies offer glass coverage with no deductible as an add-on -- check with your agent. We can help you evaluate whether a claim makes sense based on the repair cost relative to your deductible.
Do I need to get multiple estimates for an insurance claim?
Most insurance companies do not require multiple estimates, but some adjusters may request them. Our detailed estimates include all specifications, measurements, and pricing that insurance companies need. If your insurer requests additional estimates, we are happy to work alongside the process. Our estimates consistently align with insurance company pricing expectations.
Do you help with insurance claims?
We provide all the documentation your insurance company needs to process your claim -- professional photographs, detailed measurements, and itemized invoices. You pay us directly (deposit upfront, balance upon completion) and submit our documentation to your insurance for reimbursement. We do not bill insurance companies directly, but we make sure you have everything your insurer requires.
How long does a glass insurance claim typically take?
Simple claims (broken window from a storm with clear documentation) can be processed in a few days to two weeks. Claims requiring adjuster inspection, supplemental documentation, or multiple-window damage may take two to four weeks. We do not delay the repair waiting for claim approval -- we can board up and replace the glass, then process the claim for reimbursement.
What if the insurance payout does not cover the full repair cost?
If there is a gap between the insurance payout and the repair cost, it is usually due to the deductible or a difference in pricing methodology. We provide detailed documentation explaining our pricing and specifications that you can share with your adjuster. If a supplement is needed, we prepare the additional documentation for you to submit. In most cases, our thorough documentation helps align pricing with insurance company expectations.
Does renters insurance cover broken window glass?
Renters insurance typically covers your personal property, not the building structure. Window glass is part of the building and is usually the landlord responsibility and covered under their property insurance. However, if you accidentally broke the window, your renters insurance liability coverage may apply. Check with your agent and notify your landlord.
Is storm damage to glass covered if I did not have storm shutters?
Yes. Homeowners insurance covers storm damage regardless of whether you had storm shutters, impact glass, or other protective measures. You are not penalized for lacking storm protection. However, if your area requires impact-resistant glass by building code, the replacement must meet current code, which the insurance should cover.
Can I choose my own glass repair company or does the insurance company assign one?
You have the right to choose your own glass repair company. Insurance companies may suggest preferred vendors, but you are not required to use them. Choosing a licensed, experienced company like Expert Glass Repair ensures the work is done correctly and the documentation meets insurance requirements. We are experienced with all major insurance companies.
What if the adjuster and I disagree on the damage assessment?
If you disagree with the adjuster assessment, you can request a re-inspection, provide additional documentation from your contractor (us), or invoke the appraisal clause in your policy. We can be present during an adjuster visit to answer technical questions about the damage, specifications, and repair requirements. Most disagreements are resolved with additional documentation.
Do you charge extra for insurance claim documentation?
No. Insurance claim documentation -- including photographs, measurements, specifications, and itemized invoicing -- is included as part of our standard service at no additional charge. We want your claim processed smoothly and quickly, and proper documentation is the key to that.
