What should I do right after a window breaks or a break-in?
Safety first, then protect the opening — the order matters more than you’d think. Panic leads to bigger messes, so take a breath and follow a short sequence.
- Check everyone is safe and clear sharp glass from walkways, especially with kids or pets in the house.
- Take photos for your insurance claim before anything is moved — document the full window and the surrounding damage.
- Call a glass pro to board up the opening so it’s secure before you leave the property unattended.
Do not piece a broken pane back together with tape or plastic alone. Those hold for minutes, not hours, and they don’t stop someone from pushing through. A proper board-up is the difference between a minor event and days of property damage.
How fast can you board up a broken window?
In an emergency, minutes matter. Our crews carry the materials to secure most openings the same day, and 24/7 availability means night, weekend and holiday calls are answered. For most residential windows we can have a board-up in place within a few hours of your call, and commercial storefronts are treated with the same urgency because a closed-looking, exposed shop costs you business. When you choose us, you get a single team that handles the board-up AND the permanent glass replacement — no juggling separate vendors.
Will you board up first and replace the glass later?
Yes, that’s the standard emergency sequence. We’ll secure the opening with a board-up so your property is protected, then schedule the permanent window glass replacement at the earliest safe time. Ask for temporary board-up and permanent replacement together and we’ll quote both, so you know the full cost up front instead of getting nickel-and-dimed later.
How quickly can you replace a board-up with real glass?
Most stock-size single-pane windows can be replaced within one to three business days after the board-up, and the glass is often fabricated and installed even faster when it’s a common size. Custom tempered or insulated double-pane units take a bit longer because they’re cut and tempered to your exact opening. We’ll give you a firm schedule the moment we measure, and we’ll keep the opening secured until the permanent glass goes in — you’re never left with plywood longer than necessary.
Call 310-736-4374.Does emergency glass repair cover commercial storefronts?
Absolutely. A broken storefront leaves your business exposed and uninviting, and every hour matters. We repair and replace commercial storefront glass, office glass partitions and more — for shops, restaurants, offices and multi-tenant buildings. Business owners who need urgent commercial work often don’t want to wait, so our 24/7 line is there for them too. Storefront glass is usually 1/4″ tempered or laminated for safety and break-in resistance, and we match the correct spec for your door and frame rather than dropping in whatever is on the truck.
Will my insurance cover emergency glass repair and board-up?
Most homeowners and business property policies cover glass breakage, and board-up costs are frequently reimbursable when they prevent further damage. Take photos, keep your itemized receipt, and file promptly. We provide clear, itemized invoices that make the claims process straightforward — broken out by board-up, glass, hardware and labor — so your adjuster has what they need. If your deductible sits above the repair cost, many owners still choose to pay out of pocket and keep the claim clean; we’ll help you understand the numbers either way. When you’re unsure whether a policy covers the damage, a quick call to your agent usually settles it — and we can point you to the documentation carriers typically request.
Do you work with commercial storefronts for after-hours repairs?
Yes. After-hours is our normal mode for businesses — break-ins and storm damage rarely wait for business hours. We’ll secure your storefront, board up the opening, and coordinate the permanent glass replacement so you can reopen as soon as it’s safe. Retail, restaurant, office and multi-tenant buildings all get the same fast response and single point of contact.
What kinds of glass do you replace in an emergency?
We replace essentially everything a building relies on for security and weather protection.
- Residential window glass, single pane and double pane insulated units.
- Commercial storefront glass and entry doors.
- Office glass partitions and curtain wall panels.
If it’s glass and it’s broken, we can handle it — day or night, home or business. See the range of glasswork we do on our residential glass hub and commercial glass hub, or get a quick look at permanent window glass replacement options so you know what comes after the board-up.
How much does emergency glass repair cost?
Emergency work carries a premium because it’s dispatched outside regular hours, but it should still be itemized and fair. Expect the cost to weigh the board-up labor and materials, the type and size of glass, and whether your window is a stock size or a custom tempered unit. Most owners find the emergency part itself affordable — the real number is driven by the permanent glass you choose. Get both quoted together, temporary and permanent, so there’s no second surprise later.
What should I expect when your crew arrives?
We bring the boards, fasteners and tools to secure most openings on the first visit. The crew assesses the break, explains the plan, and gives you a clear timeline for the permanent glass — no guesswork. You’ll know whether it’s a true emergency repair or a routine replacement you can schedule, and the quote will list the board-up and glass replacement separately so nothing is buried.
