Storefront Glass Repair & Emergency Board-UpRapid Board-Up & Professional Replacement
A shattered storefront is an immediate vulnerability. We provide 24/7 emergency board-up services to promptly secure your premises, followed by glass replacement for doors, display windows, and architectural glass enclosures.
Common Issues & Indicators
Recognizing changes in an opening can help a facility manager address the problem before the door, lock, or glass becomes unusable.
Shattered or Cracked Panels
Visible breaks in the glass that compromise security, interior climate, and customer safety.
Foggy Insulated Glass
Condensation between dual-pane glass indicates a failed seal, reducing energy efficiency and visibility.
Loose Glazing Stops
The metal or rubber pieces holding the glass in place have become loose or deteriorated, allowing the glass panel to rattle.
Vandalism or Impact Damage
Deep scratches, impacts, or structural weakening from external forces.

Emergency Board-Up

Measurement & Specification
Taking precise dimensions and identifying the required glass type (tempered, laminated, insulated) to match the existing storefront.
Fabrication
Standard glass may be cut promptly, while specialized or oversized insulated units are ordered from fabrication facilities.
Installation
Removing the board-up, setting the new glass panel into the frame, and sealing the stops and gaskets for a proper fit.
Repair vs. Replacement
Storefront glass issues typically require replacement of the glass itself, though surrounding frame components can sometimes be repaired.
When to Repair
- Replacing deteriorated weatherstripping or loose glazing stops around an intact piece of glass.
- Adjusting the aluminum framing that holds the glass to correct minor settling.
- Applying security or anti-graffiti films over existing, undamaged panels.
When to Replace
- Any cracked, shattered, or structurally compromised glass panel must be fully replaced.
- Insulated glass units with failed seals (fogging) cannot be resealed and require a new dual-pane unit.
- Upgrading existing standard glass to impact-resistant or laminated safety glass.

Important Considerations
Lead Times for Custom Glass
A temporary board-up can close an exposed opening while custom-sized, tinted, or insulated glass is prepared. Timing varies by specification and supplier availability.
Safety Glass Requirements
Commercial environments generally utilize tempered or laminated safety glass in doors and adjacent storefront panels to reduce injury risks if broken.
Frame Condition
If the aluminum framing was bent or damaged during an impact or break-in, the frame itself may need repair or replacement before new glass can be installed.
