2-Hour Emergency Board-Up

When a window is completely broken out, your home is exposed. We arrive within 2 hours with board-up materials to secure the opening. Our board-up service uses exterior-grade plywood cut to fit your window frame, secured with screws (not nails) for a clean removal later. The board-up keeps your home weatherproof and secure until the replacement glass is installed.

Safety First

What to Do When a Window Breaks

Follow these safety steps while waiting for our technician to arrive.

Keep Distance

Keep children and pets at least 10 feet away from the broken window. Glass fragments scatter further than you expect, and small shards embed in carpet and upholstery where they are invisible.

Wear Protection

Put on thick gloves, long sleeves, and closed-toe shoes before approaching broken glass. Standard household gloves are not thick enough -- use leather work gloves or doubled-up rubber gloves.

Secure the Opening

Cover the broken window with heavy plastic sheeting, a tarp, or thick cardboard taped securely to the frame. This prevents wind from blowing glass fragments into the room and keeps rain and insects out until we arrive.

Document for Insurance

Take photos of the damage before cleaning up. Photograph the broken window from inside and outside, the glass on the floor, and any damage to surrounding areas. If vandalism or break-in caused the damage, file a police report first.

Avoid Vacuuming Immediately

Large glass pieces can damage your vacuum. Pick up large shards by hand (with gloves) and place them in a cardboard box. Then vacuum the area thoroughly with a shop vacuum or use the hose attachment of your household vacuum to reach edges and corners.

Check for Hazards

If the window break was caused by a falling tree or storm damage, check for downed power lines, structural damage, or water intrusion before entering the area. If you suspect structural damage, stay out and call emergency services.

Common Questions

Broken Window Repair FAQ

How quickly can you board up a broken window?
We provide 2-hour emergency board-up service across the DMV. When you call, we dispatch a technician immediately with board-up materials. The board-up secures your home against weather, insects, and intruders until the replacement glass is installed. Board-up service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.
Can you replace a broken window the same day?
Yes, for standard window sizes. We stock common glass sizes and types on our trucks. If your broken window uses a standard single-pane or common double-pane size, we can often replace it the same day. Custom sizes, specialty glass, and insulated glass units with specific Low-E coatings require fabrication and are typically installed within 3 to 7 business days after measurement.
Should I clean up broken glass myself?
Use caution. Wear thick gloves and closed-toe shoes. Pick up large pieces carefully and dispose of them in a cardboard box, not a plastic bag. Vacuum the area thoroughly to pick up small shards. Do not use a broom alone as it can scatter tiny glass fragments. If the break involves tempered glass, the small cube-shaped pieces are safer to handle than the sharp shards from annealed glass.
Does homeowners insurance cover broken windows?
Most homeowners insurance policies cover window damage caused by storms, vandalism, break-ins, fallen trees, and accidental impact. Coverage typically falls under dwelling coverage or personal property coverage depending on the cause. Your deductible applies. We document the damage with photos and measurements and provide detailed invoices that insurance companies accept for claim processing.
What causes a window to crack on its own?
Spontaneous cracks are usually thermal stress cracks. They occur when one part of the glass is significantly hotter or cooler than an adjacent area, creating stress that exceeds the glass strength. Common causes include direct sun exposure on partially shaded glass, heating vents blowing on windows, and dark window tint absorbing heat unevenly. Edge damage from installation or settling can also trigger delayed cracking.
Can a cracked window be repaired without full replacement?
Small cracks in annealed glass can sometimes be stabilized with resin injection, but this is a temporary measure and the crack remains visible. For most residential windows, replacement of the glass pane or the insulated glass unit is the proper repair. Cracked tempered glass or laminated glass always requires full replacement because the structural integrity is compromised.
How much does it cost to replace a broken window?
The cost varies based on the window size, glass type, and accessibility. Single-pane windows are the most affordable. Double-pane insulated glass units cost more due to the sealed construction. Specialty glass like tempered, laminated, Low-E, or decorative patterns adds to the cost. We provide free on-site estimates with no obligation so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
What is the difference between single-pane and double-pane window repair?
Single-pane windows have one layer of glass in the frame. Replacing the glass is straightforward -- we remove the broken glass, clean the frame, and install a new pane with fresh glazing. Double-pane windows use a sealed insulated glass unit (IGU) with two panes separated by a gas-filled spacer. The entire IGU must be replaced as a unit because the hermetic seal cannot be broken and resealed in the field.
Do you replace broken window glass in vinyl, wood, and aluminum frames?
Yes. We replace glass in all frame types including vinyl, wood, aluminum, fiberglass, composite, and steel frames. The glass replacement process varies by frame type but we handle all of them. For older wood frames, we also assess the frame and sash condition and recommend repair or replacement if the wood is rotted or deteriorated.
What should I do immediately after a window breaks?
First, keep children and pets away from the broken glass. Wear shoes and gloves when near the area. If the break was caused by a break-in or vandalism, call the police and file a report before cleaning up -- the police report is needed for insurance claims. Cover the opening with heavy plastic or cardboard as a temporary measure. Then call us for emergency board-up and replacement service.
Can you match the glass in my other windows?
Yes. We identify your existing glass type, thickness, tint, and coating and order matching replacement glass. For insulated glass units, we match the spacer type, gas fill, and Low-E coating position. The replacement glass will match the appearance and performance of your other windows. We bring samples and specifications to the measurement appointment to verify the match.
Do you repair broken windows in commercial buildings?
Yes. We repair commercial broken windows including storefront glass, office windows, curtain wall panels, and commercial door glass. Commercial emergency board-up and replacement is available with the same fast response times as residential service. We provide insurance claim documentation for property managers and building owners throughout the DMV.
