Jordan McCraeOne of our own editors recalls waking up to a living room flooded after a storm—thanks to a botched window replacement installation that left gaping gaps between the sill and frame.
The aftermath? Warped floorboards, a musty smell, and a hefty invoice for repairs that could have been avoided with the right expertise.

How much does it cost to get a window replaced in Auckland?

1. Auckland Glass
Address: 4 Southdown Lane, Penrose
Contact Details: +64 800 804 804
Operating Hours: Open 24 hours
Website: https://www.aucklandglass.co.nz/
What we like about Auckland Glass is that you don’t feel boxed into one choice. Whether you want something energy-efficient windows or just a basic replacement, they’ve got options to suit your needs and budgets.
That said, the variety can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure what you’re looking for. When we spoke to their staff, we found ourselves wishing for a window guide or clearer explanations up front.
Still, we like that the staff don’t just push the most expensive window option on you. We appreciate that they listen and suggest solutions that make sense for your home or business.
One customer told us they needed something tougher for a busy hallway, and Auckland Glass recommended safety glass.
We also heard consistent positive feedback about their installation process. It’s quick, efficient, and the installers leave the space clean when they’re done.
We also love their 24-hour emergency service. Customers with smashed windows said Auckland Glass had someone out within the hour.
Fast, efficient and cleaned up after they finished
“Junior and Ricky were a friendly, professional team who replaced a broken window at our place without any fuss. They were fast, efficient and cleaned up after they finished the job. The new window looks great and they were great people to deal with. Thank you Junior and Ricky.”

2. Affordable Glass Auckland t/a Way Out West Glass & Glazing Limited
Address: 75 Huia Road, Titirangi
Contact Details: +64 800 202 620
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – 10 AM to 4 PM
Website:https://www.affordableglassauckland.co.nz/
We like that Affordable Glass Auckland really live up to their name. Many customers told us their quotes came in lower than those of other companies, and we found that to be true too.
Even better, the lower prices don’t mean a drop in quality. Several people had multiple windows replaced for less than competing quotes, and the results still looked sharp.
Another thing we like is how easy they make the whole process. We love how quick and friendly the communication is, especially the speedy appointment bookings and updates. They also show up on time and finish the window job without any fuss.
Even for smaller jobs, like swapping out a cat door for a full glass pane, customers said the team was professional.
Additionally, we like that they handle all sorts of jobs, from private homes to hospitals and commercial properties.
If there’s one area of improvement, it’s the finish on some jobs. Some customers said the silicone sealing around the glass wasn’t always neat—sometimes it was applied unevenly or looked rushed.
Friendly, great communication at every step
“Decided to go with Affordable Glass due to the great reviews and they did not disappoint. Friendly, great communication at every step and the work on replacing the broken window by Alan was done efficiently and left clean and tidy. Thank you Alan and Julie we will definitely recommend you to our friends and family.”

“Great price, great communication, great service.
Alan did a fantastic job fixing our window, especially during the horrid weather Auckland has been having!
Julie had fantastic communication from the get go. The price was very competitive in comparison to other companies and the whole process was super smooth! Will definitely be using Way Out West Glass & Glazing limited again if we need!”

3. Henderson Glass
Address: 76 Central Park Drive, Henderson
Contact Details: +64 9 836 1616
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 4:30 PM
- Saturday – 9 AM to 12 PM
Website: https://www.hendersonglass.co.nz/
Henderson Glass has been around for over 50 years, which makes us feel confident that they know what they’re doing. Customers often described the team as efficient and reliable: jobs get done quickly, but not rushed.
One standout service is their emergency response. One customer shared that Henderson Glass had someone out the same day despite the rain. That kind of responsiveness is a big plus, especially since broken glass poses a security risk.
Another thing we appreciate is the staff’s friendliness and helpfulness. We love how everyone, from the person answering the phone to the installers, was easy to talk to and explained things clearly.
Homeowners even said the delivery guys helped move some furniture out of the way without being asked.
We also like that Henderson Glass does commercial, residential, and even automotive glass. This makes it easier for clients who need to get multiple jobs done.
However, we wish they’re a bit more upfront about the extra charges associated with the window replacement installation.
No problems, always felt I was in good hands
“Great job from quote to finish!!!
The henderson glass team were always here at or even before appointed time, gave additional notice well before arriving.
They replaced a big heavy window in an awkward place, which I thought would be very tricky…. But no problems, always felt I was in good hands 😃
Thanks”

4. Papatoetoe Glass
Address: 52 Plunket Avenue, Papatoetoe
Contact Details: +64 9 278 9036
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday: 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM
Website:https://www.papatoetoeglass.co.nz/
We love that Papatoetoe Glass is super fast and reliable. One customer told us they called at 8 AM, and by 8:50 AM, the broken glass was gone and a new window was in place. That kind of speed is rare and a huge relief when you’re in a pinch.
We appreciate their 24/7 emergency callouts, which are a big plus if you need help outside regular hours. Plus, their quotes are free, so there’s no pressure to commit.
Many people also mentioned how professional and friendly the team is. The staff explain things clearly and don’t try to upsell you on things you don’t need.
Property managers, in particular, praised how the installers worked around tenants’ schedules and left everything tidy.
Papatoetoe is just as reliable for businesses. One commercial client told us the team handled a big glass replacement without disrupting their workday.
The only downside we encountered was that, when we spoke to people on the phone, some responses felt a bit rude and dismissive. A little more politeness could make a big difference in the overall experience.
Glaziers were prompt, skilled and efficient
“I’m delighted to share my experience with Papatoetoe Glass! From the moment I contacted them, the service was outstanding. The glaziers were prompt, skilled and efficient in quoting, repairing my broken window and replacing two others. The receptionist was friendly and helpful, ensuring a seamless process from start to finish. The boss’s attention to detail and commitment to excellent service, and value truly impressed me. Highly recommended!”

Quick, efficient, their communication was on point
“First day back in the new year, the team took my call at 8am and were here within an hour to replace a shattered window pane. They were quick, efficient, their communication was on point and they were in and out within an hour of my call. Thank you team, super stoked with your service and your reasonable pricing !!!”

5. Allied Glass
Address: 29 Selwyn Street, Onehunga
Contact Details: +64 800 111 881
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – 8:30 AM to 4 PM
Website:https://www.alliedglass.co.nz/
We love that Allied Glass offers a fully mobile glazing service. They come to you, whether it’s a home, office, or something bigger.
From the very first call, the team makes a great impression. We appreciated how polite they were and explained everything clearly on the phone when we inquired about their services.
Another big plus is their wide range of services. They handle everything from simple window replacements to energy-efficient upgrades and splashbacks. They even do pet doors.
When we talked to their customers, many praised the team for showing up on time and finishing the job within the promised timeframe. Customers also appreciated how tiny the installers were, always cleaning up after themselves and making sure everything looked right before leaving.
Now, while most jobs are done on budget, a few people mentioned that unexpected costs did pop up. A bit more transparency and upfront clarity on the pricing would really be helpful.
Came out to fix the glass and went above and beyond
“Highly recommend. I needed window glass replaced. Their office staff were fast and friendly with the quote and booking the job in. Then Paul came out to fix the glass and went above and beyond. Really great service and the price was very good as well.”
