Choose the service that matches the damage. Each option explains what we inspect, what can be replaced right away and when temporary protection is needed.

Emergency Glass Repair

For shattered glass that leaves a window, door or storefront exposed. We inspect the frame, remove loose hazards and decide whether the glass can be replaced immediately or needs temporary protection.

Same-day commercial entry door glass

A Toronto commercial entry door was reglazed the same day.

The completed project shows shattered glass in a Toronto commercial entrance and the replacement panel installed in the existing door the same day.

  • Commercial entry door in Toronto
  • Broken glass removed
  • Replacement panel installed the same day

Same-day service depends on panel availability, measurements and the condition of the existing door and frame. If the matching panel is not ready, the opening can be protected temporarily.

Commercial Entry Door Glass Replaced in Toronto

The replacement panel was installed in the existing commercial entry door the same day.

Securing options

Replace directly when possible. Protect temporarily when needed.

Board-up is one option, not the automatic answer. If the correct commercial door glass is available and the door frame is suitable, we may install that panel directly the same day.

If the new glass has to be measured or ordered, we use temporary protective cover, plywood board-up or door securing so the opening is not left exposed.

Common wording customers use

  • Cover broken window
  • Protective layer over broken glass
  • Temporary cover for smashed storefront
  • Secure broken glass door
  • Plywood cover for window

Before dispatch

Photos help us confirm the right service.

Send the full opening, a close-up of the damage and your city or postal code. We use that information to route the call correctly and avoid unnecessary temporary work.

What should I send?

Send one photo showing the complete window, door or storefront and one close photo of the break, frame or hardware. Tell us whether the opening is exposed and whether the door still closes and locks.

What do you confirm?

We confirm the appropriate service path and ETA, then provide the total price before work begins. No additional charge is added without customer approval. If insurance may be involved, mention it on the first call so job photos and invoice details can be prepared from the first visit.

Coverage by property type

Commercial and residential emergency work.

Emergency glass and door damage affects each property differently. A storefront needs security and customer access planning. A home needs weather protection and safe entry. A commercial entrance may need board-up first and glass replacement after.

We start with what is actually damaged: the glass, frame, door, lock or storefront. That keeps the service clear and avoids unnecessary work.

  • Storefront glass damage
  • Broken windows and patio doors
  • Door glass and commercial glass doors
  • Kicked-in doors and forced entry damage
  • Temporary cover and protective layer requests
  • Glass replacement after board-up

Common service questions

Find the right service.

Call or text clear photos of the damage. We’ll tell you whether the job needs board-up, glass replacement, door repair or hardware work.

Can commercial door glass be replaced the same day without board-up?

Sometimes. If we have a compatible panel and the commercial door frame is undamaged, we can remove the broken glass and reglaze the door on the first visit. Specialty or custom glass has to be ordered, so we secure the door until it arrives.

Which service should I choose?

Send photos of the full opening and close-up damage. We’ll identify the right service for you.

Do you only do board-up?

No. We also replace glass, repair doors and frames, install continuous hinges and restore storefront entrances.

Can you cover broken glass temporarily?

Yes. We cover broken windows, door glass and storefronts when the correct replacement is not ready.

Can you help if my door will not close?

Yes. We secure doors affected by forced entry, damaged frames, broken locks and door glass damage.

Do you help businesses and homes?

Yes. We handle storefronts, offices, restaurants, homes, condos, patio doors, entry doors and commercial glass.

Can you repair after board-up?

Yes. When the correct glass or parts are ready, we remove the temporary protection and complete the repair.
