Wind, hail, or flying debris shattered your glass during a storm. We board up immediately to prevent water damage and interior exposure, then schedule.

Why Speed Matters
Every hour a broken window or door remains unrepaired exposes your property to compounding risks. Here is why same-day replacement is not just convenient -- it is essential for protecting your property and your wallet.
An unsecured opening is an invitation to intruders. Every hour your window or door remains broken increases the risk of theft, vandalism, or unauthorized.
Rain, wind, humidity, and temperature extremes can cause significant damage to your interior -- warping wood floors, damaging furniture, promoting mold.
An open hole in your building envelope is an entry point for insects, rodents, birds, and other wildlife.
A broken window or door eliminates the thermal barrier, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime.
For commercial properties, a broken storefront or window affects customer perception, employee comfort, and business operations.
Most insurance policies require you to take reasonable steps to mitigate further damage. Leaving a broken window unrepaired could jeopardize your claim.

About Our Service
Same-day glass replacement is possible because we maintain a large inventory of the most commonly needed glass types and sizes. Our trucks are stocked daily with single-pane glass in standard thicknesses, common insulated glass units, clear and tinted float glass, and tempered glass in popular sizes. When you call with a broken window or door, we can often match the glass from our inventory and dispatch a technician who arrives with the replacement glass already on the truck.
For glass that we do not stock -- custom sizes, specialty coatings like Low-E, laminated safety glass, patterned or decorative glass, and oversized panels -- we place the fabrication order immediately and provide professional board-up service to secure your property while the glass is being manufactured. Most custom glass orders arrive within 3 to 10 business days, and we schedule your installation the day the glass arrives.
Our service covers the entire DMV area from our base in Arlington, Virginia. We serve homeowners, property managers, commercial businesses, restaurants, retail storefronts, and government buildings throughout Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland.

Every technician on our team is trained in emergency glass handling, proper safety procedures for broken glass removal, and precision glazing techniques.
