Board-up service is a temporary security measure for commercial openings that cannot receive permanent glass immediately. It is commonly used after shattered storefront glass, vandalism, break-ins, impact damage, or another event that leaves a window or door opening exposed.
Our goal is to protect the property without losing sight of the permanent repair. We assess the opening, address loose glass as appropriate, install temporary protection based on the storefront conditions, and gather the information needed for the next phase. A board-up should create a bridge to the final repair, not become an unexplained stopping point.
## When replacement glass is not immediately available Commercial glass is often made or prepared for a specific opening. Large dimensions, safety requirements, tint, thickness, fabrication, or supply conditions can prevent permanent installation during the initial emergency visit. Board-up protection helps close that gap so the property does not remain openly exposed. ## Protecting a broken storefront An exposed storefront can create security, weather, and liability concerns. The board-up method depends on the opening, frame condition, remaining glass, surrounding materials, and access. We choose a practical temporary approach based on what is actually present rather than treating every broken window the same. ## Board-up after vandalism or break-ins When damage involves vandalism or forced entry, the property owner may be balancing police reports, insurance documentation, inventory checks, cleanup, and reopening decisions. We concentrate on the physical opening and the temporary protection required while permanent glass or door work is organized. ## Moving from temporary to permanent repair A board-up is not the finished storefront. During or after the emergency visit, the opening can be measured and evaluated for replacement requirements. We explain what information has been gathered, what may need to be ordered, and what the next service step should be so the customer has a clear path toward restoring the glass.
Broken fixed storefront panes can leave a large opening directly accessible from outside. We install temporary protection suited to the opening while permanent glass requirements are established.
When the glass or surrounding portion of a commercial entry is damaged, temporary protection may be needed to secure the doorway. The board-up plan considers whether the entrance can remain usable or must be closed temporarily.
After vandalism, temporary protection can close damaged openings while property managers, tenants, or owners arrange replacement and complete any documentation they need.
Forced entry may leave glass, framing, or doors damaged. We address the exposed opening and help establish the next glass-related repair step after the immediate site is secured.
An open commercial window can allow wind, dust, heat, and rain into the property. A properly planned temporary closure reduces that exposure while permanent materials are being prepared.
| Service | Estimated Cost | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Small commercial opening | $350-$650 | $500 |
| Standard storefront opening | $500-$1,000 | $750 |
| Large or complex opening | $800-$1,800+ | $1,300 |
Board-up costs depend on opening size, access, remaining glass, cleanup needs, materials, after-hours conditions, and the complexity of securing the storefront.
We treat the board-up as one stage of restoring the storefront and help identify what permanent glass work should follow.
Large panes, entrance systems, sidelites, and storefront framing require a different approach from ordinary residential window openings.
Loose or fractured material can create additional hazards. We consider the condition of remaining glass while establishing temporary protection.
We explain what still needs to happen after the property is secured so owners and managers are not left wondering how to move toward permanent repair.

We assess remaining glass, the frame, access, and the safest practical method for temporarily protecting the opening.
The opening is secured using materials and attachment methods appropriate to the visible storefront conditions.
We document the opening and identify the next glass or door service needed so the board-up can eventually be removed and the storefront restored.
