Anyone have a go to window contractor in the DFW area to replace some basic double pane window panes on about 5 windows in a rental house just vacated?   Double pane windows with grids, about 5 of the upper or lower panes have cracks.  These are from a house likely with original windows from 1986 ish time frame.  It is a rental so I want it to look good but don't want to invest in new windows for the place at this point.

the guy came out and looked at the damaged windows.

he examined them to be sure the damage was not due to foundation issues, they weren't.

he measured and then left to set up the quote.

quote was decent, better than the established chain window providers.

after I accepted the bid he said it would be about a week to order them.

they came in and we set the time for him to come out.

he took the exterior plastic about 1/2" from around the outside of each window pane.  then used a heat gun to deftly melt the glue/silicone/whatever holding the remaining/broken/cracked glass to the  window frame. 

brought the new window in and used whatever adhesive he used and added new plastic 1/2" framing that bonded the window to the frame.  

used some commercial grade window cleaner to clean them up nice.

boom.  done.  awesome.
