Residential Glass, Window and Door Securing

Residential damage is different from commercial damage

A home opening is part of a living space. Broken window glass, patio door glass, French door glass, balcony door glass, entry door glass or a damaged back door has to be protected in a way that fits the home, not just covered like a storefront.

What we secure first

We look at the opening, loose glass, frame condition, door operation and exposure level. Depending on the damage, the home may need a temporary protective cover, board-up, door securing or a direct glass repair.

• Broken house windows and exposed room openings
• Patio, sliding, French and balcony door glass damage
• Front door, side door and entry door glass
• Condo and townhouse openings after damage
• Residential break-in, vandalism or weather exposure

The goal is a secure home opening

Once the exposed area is protected, the next step is planned clearly. That may be window glass replacement, patio, sliding or French door glass replacement, frame adjustment, door hardware repair or another permanent repair.

Insurance context

When insurance may apply

If the window, patio door or entry glass was damaged by a break-in, vandalism, storm or impact, photograph it before cleanup when safe and mention insurance on the first call. BoardUp can provide job photos and an itemized invoice.

A failed seal, fogging between panes, gradual misalignment or worn hardware is generally maintenance rather than sudden damage. Your insurer or adjuster decides coverage and the deductible under your policy.
