The First Hour After a Break-In Matters Most
After a break-in or a storm strikes your storefront, every minute the opening sits exposed is more risk — weather damage, a second break-in, or a liability issue if someone's hurt on broken glass. Getting the opening secured fast matters more than anything else in that first hour.
One Call Dispatches a Full Response
Our emergency line dispatches a crew with plywood, fasteners, and temporary door hardware to secure your opening, day or night, weekends and holidays included. You get photos and documentation for your insurer before the crew leaves the site, not days later when the details are harder to reconstruct.
Board-Up Is Step One, Not the Solution
Boarding an opening is a temporary fix, and we treat it that way. We measure for replacement glass or doors during the same emergency visit, so fabrication starts immediately instead of waiting for a separate follow-up appointment days later.
How Fast Permanent Repairs Happen
Most storefront glass is permanently replaced within 24 to 72 hours of the incident, and the temporary boarding comes down as soon as the permanent repair is in. For custom or fire-rated door assemblies, the timeline runs longer, but boarding stays secure the entire time.
What Emergency Response Costs
Standard storefront board-up runs $350 to $900 depending on opening size and time of call. We quote the call-out cost by phone before dispatching a crew, and that board-up cost is credited against your bill when we complete the permanent repair.
Insurance Documentation, Handled
We photograph the damage, document the scene, and provide itemized invoices formatted for commercial insurance claims. On approved claims, we can bill your insurer directly, which keeps the cost off your books while the claim processes.
Pre-Registered Sites for Faster Response
Property managers and multi-location businesses can register sites with us in advance — key contacts, door and glass specs, and billing details on file. When something happens at 2 AM, dispatch already knows your building, and response is faster because of it.
If Something Just Happened
Contact us right now if your building is open and unsecured. We'll get a crew moving and walk you through what happens next — board-up, documentation, and the plan for permanent repair.
Issues We Hear About Most Often
Property managers, retailers, and GCs across the GTA run into the same patterns. Here is what usually brings people to this service — and how we approach it.
Break-ins don't wait for business hours
Most emergency calls come outside regular hours — nights, weekends, holidays. Our dispatch line runs 24/7 because that's when these calls actually happen.
Boarded windows sit for weeks with no follow-up
Some board-up services stop at plywood and disappear. We measure for the permanent repair on the same visit so there's no gap between securing and fixing.
Insurance claims stall without proper documentation
Adjusters need photos, measurements, and an itemized invoice, and gathering that after the fact is harder. We document everything on the emergency visit itself.
Multi-location businesses need faster response
Explaining your building's access, glass specs, and billing details from scratch during an emergency wastes time. Pre-registering your sites with us means dispatch already has what it needs.
