“We recently had a break in attempt at our business and the front storefront glass was damaged. The team responded quickly, cleaned up the broken glass, and temporarily boarded up the opening to keep the business secure. Once the custom glass was ready, Max came back and completed the storefront glass replacement professionally, including sealing the new glass and finishing everything neatly. Communication was clear, the price was fair, and the final result looks clean and secure. I would definitely recommend them for emergency storefront glass replacement in Etobicoke.”

“Our house was broken into recently and this company helped us board up our door that had been smashed open. The technician boarded up our door very well and it made us feel a little bit safer as we decide on what to do. This company was very quick to respond and they were very kind to us and thoughtful of our situation!”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

All questions
How fast can you board up a broken storefront?

Call our 24/7 line for immediate emergency dispatch. An exposed storefront is a priority. We assess the damage and temporary securing on arrival, then explain the next steps. Arrival time, safe reopening and the permanent replacement schedule depend on the site and required materials.

Can we stay open while waiting for the new glass?

Sometimes. We try to keep unaffected entrances usable, but safe customer access, emergency exits and the extent of damage must be assessed first. We explain the temporary securing options and restrictions before you decide whether to reopen.

Is storefront glass tempered or laminated?

The specification depends on the panel's location, size, framing and applicable safety requirements. Tempered and laminated glass have different properties; laminated glass includes an interlayer that helps retain broken fragments. We inspect the opening and explain suitable options before ordering.

Which photographs belong to this project?

The project gallery and customer review near the top of this page describe this job. The gallery contains customer job photographs, not a confirmed before-and-after sequence. The later comparison pairs, review carousel and video clips include separate jobs, identified in their captions.

Can you assess similar work at my property?

Every job is different. We usually arrange a free on-site estimate so we can inspect the door, window or glass, check measurements and assess the work required. Photos help us prepare, but an accurate quote usually needs an on-site inspection. You approve the scope and price before any paid work begins.

We are available 24/7 and can dispatch a technician immediately for an emergency. For less urgent repairs, we can usually arrange a technician the same day. We confirm the estimated arrival time when you call. If all representatives are busy, leave your number or send a text and we will call you back promptly.
