What we replace
Glass replacement keeps the existing frame and replaces only the damaged pane.
- Broken window glass
- Shattered sliding glass door panels
- Storefront glass
- Impact glass in existing impact windows and doors
Securing the opening first
If the glass is gone or unstable and the space can’t be left open, temporary board-up covers the opening until the replacement is ready. It’s a short-term measure to keep the property protected, not a permanent repair.
Cut on site or fabricated to order
Some standard glass can be cut on site from the vehicle for suitable openings. Tempered glass, required in sliding doors and many other locations, cannot be cut after it’s made, so it has to be fabricated to size. Impact glass is a laminated product made to specific requirements and is ordered as well. That means not every replacement is completed on the first visit, and we’ll tell you which applies.
From broken pane to replaced glass
Each opening is handled based on its glass type and how urgently it needs to be secured.
Assess
We identify the opening, the glass type, and whether board-up is needed.
Measure
The opening is measured for the correct replacement specification.
Cut or order
Suitable standard glass may be cut on site; tempered and impact glass is ordered.
Install
The new glass is installed in the existing frame.
While you wait
Until the opening is assessed, keep people and pets away from the broken glass and call to discuss it. Please don’t try to remove damaged glass yourself.
When you call, let us know whether it’s a window, door, or storefront, roughly how large the pane is, and whether the property is a house, condo, or business.
Emergency Glass questions
Can you replace broken sliding door glass the same day?
Sliding door glass is normally tempered or impact glass, which must be fabricated to size, so the replacement is usually ordered. If the opening needs to be secured meanwhile, board-up may be an option.
Do you offer emergency service?
24/7 Emergency Glass Service. We’ll discuss the opening and what can be done.
Is board-up permanent?
No. Board-up is temporary protection until the glass can be replaced.
