Emergency Board-Up Services in Los Angeles
Glass smashed and your property exposed? LA City Glass provides fast emergency board-up for homes, businesses, storefronts, and commercial properties across Los Angeles. We secure the opening, protect your property, and manage the glass replacement from start to finish. Call (310) 740-6901.
Securing Your Property Fast
When glass gets smashed in a break-in or vandalism incident, the priority is getting the opening secured before anything else. An exposed window, door, or storefront is a security risk and a liability. LA City Glass responds to emergency board-up calls across Los Angeles for all types of properties — residential homes, apartment buildings, retail storefronts, office buildings, and commercial properties of all sizes.
We use solid plywood board-up to secure the opening properly. This is not a temporary patch — it is a professional installation that keeps your property protected until the permanent glass is ready to install.
From Board-Up to Glass Replacement
A board-up is the first step, not the last. Once your property is secured we assess the glass type, source the replacement, and schedule the installation. Standard glass can often be replaced within a day or two. Tempered, laminated, or custom glass units typically take a few business days to fabricate. We manage both visits and keep you updated throughout.
We work regularly with property managers, building owners, and businesses across Los Angeles who need a reliable contractor they can call when something goes wrong. If you manage multiple properties and want a glazing company you can count on for emergency work, call us to discuss an ongoing working relationship.
FAQ
What does emergency board-up cover?
We board up any glass opening that has been smashed or damaged and needs to be secured — windows, glass doors, sliding patio doors, storefront glass, commercial entries, and office glass. We also respond to preventative board-up requests ahead of planned demonstrations and civil unrest events. If it is exposed or at risk and needs to be made safe, we can help.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency board-up call?
We respond as fast as possible depending on location and time of call. Call us at (310) 740-6901 and we will advise you on the fastest way to get your property secured.
Do you only board up or do you also replace the glass?
We handle both. The board-up secures your property immediately. We then source the replacement glass and return to complete the installation once it is ready. You deal with one company throughout the whole job.
Can you board up a large commercial storefront?
Yes. We handle board-ups of all sizes, from a single residential window to full storefront glass spanning multiple panels. For large commercial properties we bring the materials and crew needed to get it done in one visit.
What happens after the board-up?
We assess the glass type and size, give you a clear quote for the replacement, and schedule the installation. Standard glass is typically replaced within a day or two. Specialty glass such as tempered or laminated units takes a few business days to fabricate and deliver.
Do you work with property managers?
Yes, and regularly. Property managers across Los Angeles contact us for emergency board-up and glass replacement when tenants report damage. We understand the urgency of keeping buildings secure and tenants safe, and we can work with you across multiple properties.
Will my insurance cover emergency board-up?
Most commercial and homeowner insurance policies cover glass damage from break-ins and vandalism, including the cost of board-up. We provide a detailed invoice and can document the damage to support your claim. Contact your insurer as soon as possible after the incident.
Are you a licensed and insured glazing contractor?
es. LA City Glass holds California Glazing Contractor License #1111990 and is fully insured. We are also a WBENC-certified women-owned business serving Los Angeles and surrounding areas.
