How It Works

Our After-Hours Emergency Process

01

Call Our Emergency Line

Call (703) 679-7741 at any hour. Our emergency dispatch answers immediately. Tell us what happened, your location, and whether anyone is injured.

02

Technician Dispatched

We dispatch the nearest available emergency technician to your location with board-up materials and common glass sizes.

03

Secure and Assess

The technician boards up the broken glass opening using exterior-grade plywood secured with screws. They measure the opening, identify the glass type,

04

Permanent Replacement

We fabricate and install the replacement glass as quickly as materials allow. Standard sizes may be available next business day.

Our Commitment

Response Time and Service Standards

2-Hour Emergency Response

For security emergencies (break-ins, shattered glass exposing your home), we target arrival within 2 hours across the DMV. Our technicians carry board-up materials and common glass sizes on their trucks at all times.

Same-Day Service

For non-emergency glass damage that still needs prompt attention, we offer same-day service during business hours. Call before noon and we can typically be at your location the same afternoon.

After-Hours Availability

Our emergency line is staffed around the clock. Evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays -- you always reach a real person who can dispatch a technician. We do not use voicemail for emergency calls.

Storm Response Protocol

During major weather events, we activate our storm response protocol with additional technicians and vehicles. We triage calls by severity and work through the night to secure as many properties as possible.

Commercial Priority

Commercial properties with security concerns or business continuity requirements receive priority scheduling. We understand that a broken storefront cannot wait until Monday morning. We respond to commercial emergencies the same as residential.

Follow-Up Scheduling

After every emergency board-up, we schedule the permanent glass replacement at the earliest available date. We track your order, call when the glass arrives, and complete the replacement in a single visit.

Common Questions

Emergency Glass Repair FAQ

Are you really available 24 hours a day?
Yes. Our emergency line at (703) 679-7741 is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year including all holidays. When you call after regular business hours, you reach our emergency dispatch who sends a technician to your location. Emergency board-up service is always available. Glass replacement availability after hours depends on the glass type and size in stock.
How fast can you get to my location?
Our target emergency response time is 2 hours or less for locations within our primary service area of DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland. Actual response time depends on your location, traffic conditions, and current call volume. During severe weather events with high call volume, we triage calls by severity and security risk.
What should I do while waiting for you to arrive?
Keep people and pets away from broken glass. If the break was caused by a break-in or vandalism, call the police and do not touch anything until they arrive. Cover the opening with a tarp, heavy plastic, or cardboard if you can do so safely. If the break is on an upper floor, close the room door to contain glass fragments and prevent wind from blowing debris through the house.
Do you charge extra for after-hours emergency calls?
Emergency service rates apply for calls outside regular business hours (evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays). The emergency rate covers the immediate response, board-up, and securing your property. If permanent glass replacement is needed, the replacement itself is quoted at standard rates during the board-up visit.
Can you replace the glass the same night or do you just board it up?
For common glass sizes and types that we carry on our trucks, same-night glass replacement may be possible. For custom sizes, insulated glass units, tempered glass, and specialty glass, we board up the opening securely and schedule the permanent replacement as quickly as the glass can be fabricated -- typically 3 to 7 business days.
What types of glass emergencies do you respond to?
We respond to all glass emergencies including shattered windows, broken glass doors, broken storefront glass, broken sliding glass doors, glass table breakage, broken shower doors, shattered glass railings, broken skylights, and any situation where broken glass creates a safety or security risk. If glass is broken and needs immediate attention, we respond.
Do you help with insurance claims for emergency glass damage?
Yes. We document the damage with photographs, measurements, and detailed descriptions during the emergency response. We provide itemized invoices that insurance companies accept. For break-in and storm damage, we provide complete claim-ready documentation that you submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Can you respond to commercial building emergencies?
Yes. We respond to commercial glass emergencies including storefront glass, office building windows, commercial doors, curtain wall panels, and retail display glass. We coordinate with property managers and building security, and provide claim-ready documentation that you submit to your commercial insurance carrier for reimbursement. Commercial board-up uses appropriate materials for the building type and meets any security requirements.
What happens if a storm breaks multiple windows?
We prioritize multi-window storm damage calls. Our technicians carry enough board-up materials to secure multiple openings in one visit. We assess all damage, board up every opening, and provide a comprehensive estimate for all replacement glass. Storm damage is typically covered by homeowners insurance, and we provide all the documentation you need for your claim.
Do you board up glass doors as well as windows?
Yes. We board up broken glass doors including sliding glass doors, French doors, entry doors, storefront doors, and commercial glass doors. For doors, we secure the opening while maintaining building egress (exit) requirements when possible. If a door cannot be secured with a board-up, we may install temporary hardware or barriers.
Is the board-up waterproof?
Our board-up service uses exterior-grade plywood secured with screws and sealed at the edges to resist water infiltration. While no temporary board-up is 100% waterproof against prolonged driving rain, our installations keep your home dry in normal conditions until permanent glass replacement is installed.
How long can a board-up stay in place?
A properly installed board-up can remain in place for weeks if necessary while waiting for custom glass fabrication or insurance claim processing. However, we recommend permanent glass replacement as soon as possible for security, energy efficiency, and aesthetics. Most replacement glass is available within 3 to 7 business days.
