Honest answers to the questions we hear most from Bismarck homeowners dealing with water damage.
Yes. Mobile service is our standard offering — we come to your home, office, job site, or anywhere else in the Bismarck-Mandan area. Most windshield replacements are complete in 60 to 90 minutes. There is no additional charge for mobile service within our standard coverage area.
If you have comprehensive coverage, windshield replacement is often covered with no out-of-pocket cost in North Dakota. Many policies cover rock chip repair completely.

Most windshield replacements take 60 to 90 minutes. After installation, the urethane adhesive needs 1 hour before driving in most conditions — longer in extreme cold. We will give you a specific safe-drive-away time based on the temperature at the time of your appointment.
Usually yes, if the chip is smaller than a quarter and not in the driver's direct line of sight. Cracks shorter than 6 inches can often be repaired as well. Repair takes about 30 minutes and is much less expensive than replacement. We assess each chip on-site and give you an honest recommendation — we will only suggest replacement when it is actually necessary.
North Dakota has extensive gravel road networks, heavy grain truck traffic on highways during harvest season, and significant road construction activity each summer. Loose aggregate kicked up by trucks at highway speeds hits windshields with significant force. North Dakota's extreme temperature swings also stress glass and turn small chips into spreading cracks faster than in moderate climates.

In warm weather, the urethane adhesive used in windshield installation is safe for driving in about 1 hour. In cold North Dakota temperatures — below 32°F — cure time extends and we may recommend 2 to 4 hours before driving to ensure the adhesive has set properly. We will give you a specific time based on conditions at your appointment. Do not go through a car wash or drive at highway speeds until we confirm the installation is fully cured.
