Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
The assessment identifies the glazing location, dimensions and applicable safety-glazing requirements before material is ordered. The agreed work removes the existing pane and installs the specified tempered or laminated glazing with compatible setting and retention materials. Ask for the product marking and documentation relevant to the opening.
What may be involved
- tempered safety glass
- laminated safety glass where selected
- setting blocks
- glazing tape or gasket
- retaining stops
- sealant
Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
LOCAL RESEARCH / Miami Lakes
Local context
Miami-Dade County's permit exemption list separates small repairs from assembly replacement: repair or replacement of window glass panes is listed as exempt while window assembly replacement is stated to require a permit, and repair or replacement of exterior single and double door slabs is listed as exempt while a door together with its door frame is stated to require a permit. That list says it applies to unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so it is useful as a comparison rather than as your rule. Ask your own city how the proposed scope is classified before work starts.
