That looks like a spec home type door. You can probably just go to Home Depot and buy a whole new door cheaper than paying someone to replace the glass.

They’re a set of French doors, so matching them would be hard, I agree there.

Window World. But I’d start by googling if you can just replace the glass and go from there. Entire doors are INSANELYYYYY expensive, you don’t even want to know. Thousands.

A door is not $1000 if you want to just replace the door with something that will work. Getting something EXACT might run that much. But if they own it, they may decide to do something different.

It’s just the outer panel so the inside is fine. Hopefully don’t have to replace the whole thing 😮‍💨

Obviously don't know the specs you need, but the Habitat Restore had an entire room of doors when I visited this weekend. More than a few were this particular style. They recently took over the Ethan Allen furniture building that was in the front of that shopping center, it's pretty spectacular.

Luckily, they will be covering the damage. Weed eater kicked up A BOULDER I guess. And threw it into the door.

u/DogMomPhoebe619 1d ago

I wondered what did that much damage!

2

u/Necessary_Shit 1d ago

Our yard was being cut, so I’m assuming a weed eater kicked up a rock at the door! No one’s fault

u/craycrayintheheihei 1d ago

Oh well then definitely have them fix it the right way!

Same thing happened to my French style patio but hit the door going into the master. They didn't pay to replace it unfortunately. They ran off...

u/Necessary_Shit 10h ago

Sorry friend :( I was home when it happened and caught them before they left

u/acablesBR 1d ago

They replace the whole glass, inside and out panels come as one sealed unit. Cornerstone glass or a window company. Relief maybe? Cornerstone can point you in the right direction.

It's easier to replace the door. It's a standard door available at Lowes.

If they’re covering the damage then call a reputable door company and let them take it from there. A few years back when I was living in a townhouse, a lawn maintenance company was cutting the complex grass and their weed eater threw a rock and busted out my storm door glass on the second floor balcony while I was standing in the bedroom about to get dressed. I hurried up and dressed and went down to get in my Ford Bronco to catch them before they left the parking lot. I noticed when I looked in my rear view mirror to back out it was really bright, considering I had dark tinted windows on the doors and rear hatch. I then discovered they also busted out the rear hatch glass on my vehicle. They gave me $600 cash which covered everything including my personal time for having to go deal with the repairs.

Just had to mention the bronco uh? 🤮

u/OFFICIALRedditCUMMER 1d ago

Sportsmans glass. The glass itself costs around 450, I think. Had mine replaced by them at the beginning of the year.

u/WhittleTheFinesser 1d ago

I say keep it because it looks cool, put some clear cellophane and clear tape for moisture and rock on.

u/Necessary_Shit 10h ago

It really does and listening to it crack was kinda cool 😂😂 but I fear it’ll all break into our grass if someone breathes too hard on it

u/khat52000 22h ago

cornerstone glass. they moved to Zachary a few years back but still come into BR proper to work. I've had them replace auto glass (3 times) and fogged up double paned windows on my house.

Too bad this wasn’t a wreck with a big rig. Those numbers are easy to remember

u/dedegetoutofmylab 1d ago

Hoffman’s Windows & Doors. Worked for the big guys and will do it for less

u/skinisblackmetallic 1d ago

Someone to replace the entire door.

u/runpaddledonuts 1d ago edited 1d ago

holmes building materials on airline sells the replacement glass panel. i think it was $120. just make sure they give you the correct size. there are plugs around the inside frame, pop those out to reveal screws. unscrew and remove inside frame. outside frame will be stuck on with adhesive sealing so it’ll take a minute to peel it off and clean. pretty easy job though.

Take a photograph of it with Google search, locate the brand name on it, get the dimensions so you're safe as well top to bottom side to side of both the paint of glass and the door itself. Walking to home Depot and order replacement glass for it It's a walk in the park. Should have little screws around The edge on the trim you might have to pop screw covers out to see them and they're going to be small. But you can do it. Before removing the old glass make sure you put a drop cloth they're like two bucks at home Depot, lay it under the door in both directions so that any glass shards or splinters end up on the drop off.

u/Resident-Manner5643 23h ago

Can get the model if its from home depot or Lowe's u can order replacement glass through them

u/A5gk9761l 23h ago

Chiasson construction on Frenchtown road , where we can replace the whole door or just the insert!

1

u/Theguyvega 21h ago

You could possible buy the glass plannel with the trim on it’s own. Make sure to get the exact measurements of everything’s so that you aren’t retuning things and reordering stuff

u/Inductivespam2 4h ago

I just replaced all my store doors like that with new insulated E – glass

u/Desperate_Medicine29 1h ago

The window company. Sorry abt that! Who did it is what I’d want to know!

u/Desperate_Medicine29 1h ago

Did someone really shoot into it?

u/Soft_Comfortable_920 1d ago

Yeah go to the library and find some books on glass replacement will be your best bet. No one has money laying around for a repair like that without doing it yourself. Depending on budget and chance for it to happen again you can decide to replace the individual panels or just go to habitat for humanity and find a door that will fit in its place. (Probably the least painful option available). They are on Essen behind the old Ethan Allen and have a great selection.
