What we do
What is emergency board-up service?
What the work involves, and why it matters for your building.
What it is
Emergency board-up is the temporary securing of a broken commercial opening after a break-in, accident, vandalism, or storm. Glasscare removes hazardous glass and boards up the opening to protect the property from weather and entry, then sources and installs the permanent replacement glass on a scheduled visit.
Why it matters
Board-up exists to buy time safely. Storefront and large glass panes often have to be sourced to size, which can take days, and an open or loosely covered opening is a liability the whole time. A proper board-up removes the hazardous glass, closes the opening securely, and weatherproofs it, so the property is protected until the permanent glass arrives. Glasscare handles the board-up and the replacement as one job, so the opening is restored, not just covered.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How fast can you board up a broken opening?
+
For emergencies, call (201) 943-1122, and a representative responds within 1 to 6 hours to secure the opening. Describe the damage and the location when you call.
Do you replace the glass after the board-up?
+
Yes. Board-up is temporary. Glasscare sources the correct replacement glass and returns to install it to code, so the property is fully restored.
What openings can you board up?
+
Storefronts, display windows, commercial windows, entrance and interior doors, and large openings, across northern NJ and NYC.
Why board up instead of waiting for the glass?
+
A board-up protects the property from weather, theft, and liability while the permanent glass is sourced, which can take time for specialty or large units. Leaving an opening exposed risks further loss.
Do you handle storm and break-in damage?
+
Yes. Glasscare boards up and secures openings after storms, break-ins, accidents, and vandalism.
