“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 service
Common problems we fix
A smashed storefront stops trade and leaves your stock exposed.
The front window was smashed overnight
The glass entrance door was forced open
A crack is running across the display window
The glass is loose in the frame and moving
A car or a delivery hit the storefront
We need it boarded before we open in the morning
The door glass is cracked and staff keep catching it
What’s included
Emergency board-up
We assess loose glass, clear the work area and secure the exposed opening with suitable temporary boarding. We explain access and exit restrictions before the premises are used again. Permanent glazing is arranged after the frame and glass specification have been checked.
Frame and channel check
Storefront glass sits in an aluminium framing system, and a forced entry often bends the channel or shears the mullion fixings. We check the frame is straight and the pocket is clean before ordering glass, because a distorted channel will not hold a new panel square and puts stress right back into it.
Frame and storefront replacement
When the aluminium frame, entrance door or several connected sections are damaged past a reliable repair, we measure and quote the replacement scope rather than forcing new glass into a compromised system. The proposal separates reusable sections from the door, framing and glazing that must be replaced, so you can see exactly what the permanent repair includes.
Specifying the glass
We check the panel's location, size, framing and applicable safety requirements before specifying tempered, laminated or other suitable glass. We explain matching options for neighbouring panels and any differences in thickness, tint or coating before ordering.
Glazing and reinstatement
The new panel is set on blocks, held with the correct gaskets or wet-glazed and pointed, and the stops are refitted. Door glass is reset into the rail and the closer and pivots are re-adjusted, since a new panel changes the weight balance. Vinyl lettering positions are noted before removal so signage can go back.
Insurance documentation
We photograph the damage before clearing it, itemise the emergency attendance, board-up and glazing as separate lines, and record glass sizes and specifications. That is what an adjuster asks for. We answer their questions directly at no charge, so you are not relaying technical details between two parties.
About properties in Hamilton
Hamilton's lower city holds some of the oldest housing stock in the region, with early-1900s brick homes and rowhouses still carrying original wood windows, while the upper city and mountain areas are mostly postwar and later builds. A working industrial core downtown also means ongoing storefront and commercial glass repairs.
What this usually costs
Emergency attendance and board-up are quoted separately from the glazing, which is how insurers prefer to see it. Panel size, tempered or laminated glass, tint, frame repairs and out-of-hours attendance are what drive the total.

Local answers first, then the ones that apply everywhere.
Do you cover all of Hamilton for storefront repair and replacement?
Yes, including Downtown Hamilton, Westdale, Locke Street, Corktown and the rest of the municipality. We also serve addresses near the boundary with Stoney Creek. Tell us your address when booking. Estimate visits are usually free; we confirm any visit fee in advance.
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.
Will our commercial insurance cover this?
Coverage depends on your policy, the cause of damage, any deductible and your insurer's assessment. We provide photos and an itemised invoice separating emergency securing from permanent repairs, and help answer repair-related questions at no added charge. Ask your insurer which costs are covered; we cannot guarantee reimbursement.
