Emergency Glass Repair & Board-Up

We do our best to arrive within 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your location and current traffic conditions. Our dispatch system routes the nearest available truck to your location using real-time GPS. Response times vary across the DMV — if you are in a high-density area like Arlington, Bethesda, or DC proper, we can often arrive faster. We cover all of Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland and always prioritize getting to you as quickly as possible.

First, ensure everyone is safely away from the broken glass. Do not attempt to remove large glass pieces yourself as they can cause serious lacerations. If the break-in occurred, contact police and do not disturb the scene until they arrive. If rain or wind is coming through the opening, hang a tarp or heavy blanket from the inside if you can do so safely. Turn off any HVAC systems to prevent pulling in outside air through the opening. Take photos of the damage for your insurance claim.

Yes. We work directly with all major insurance carriers and can help you file your claim. Our technicians document everything on-site: photos of the damage, measurements, materials used for the board-up, and a detailed estimate for permanent replacement. We provide you with a professional report formatted for insurance submission. Most homeowner and commercial policies cover emergency glass repair, including the board-up and permanent replacement. We can also bill your insurance directly if you prefer.

Our emergency trucks carry standard single-pane, double-pane, tempered safety glass, and laminated glass panels in the most common residential and commercial sizes. For standard windows, sliding doors, and storefront panels, we can often complete the permanent replacement on the same visit as the board-up. For specialty glass like custom-sized insulated glass units, decorative glass, or large commercial panels, we secure the opening with a professional board-up and return within 24-48 hours with the exact replacement glass.

Yes, 365 days a year including every holiday. Glass emergencies do not wait for business hours and neither do we. Our emergency line is staffed by live dispatchers around the clock. The same trained technicians who handle weekday calls are on rotation for nights, weekends, and holidays. There is no difference in service quality or response time regardless of when you call. And as we mentioned, there is no after-hours surcharge.
