Questions

What should I do first after a window breaks?

Keep people and pets away from loose glass. If the opening is exposed or unsafe, call or text and send photos from a safe distance.

Is board-up the final repair?

No. Board-up or securing is a temporary step to protect the opening while permanent glass or window replacement is arranged.

What details help in an emergency request?

Photos of the full opening, approximate size, address area and whether there is weather or security exposure help determine the next step.

Temporary protection

Securing the opening is the first job.

01

Call for availability

Explain the location, affected opening and immediate concern. Confirm whether attendance is available and what is included before relying on a visit. An estimate submission is not a dispatch confirmation.

02

What to ask about

Discuss the temporary protection, access, removal of unsafe material where applicable, and what happens to the temporary materials when the permanent repair is installed.

03

Keep the replacement moving

Save photos and written scope for your records. Ask who will confirm the permanent glass specification and measurements, and when you should expect a scheduling update.
