Storefront Installation, Repair and Replacement

We assess what’s there, source the right glass, and handle the installation cleanly with minimal disruption to your tenants or customers. We work with aluminum-framed systems, frameless glass, and everything in between.

FAQ
How much does storefront glass replacement cost in Los Angeles?
Storefront glass replacement varies depending on the size of the opening, the type of glass required, and whether the frame needs attention. We provide written estimates before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect. Call (310) 740-6901 to arrange a quote.
How long does a storefront glass replacement take?
Storefront glass replacement typically involves a few visits. We start with a site visit to take measurements and board up if needed. Standard 1/4″ glass is usually available next day. Insulated glass units take 5 to 7 business days to manufacture. Installation then takes one to two days depending on the size of the storefront.
What should I do if my storefront glass is broken or smashed?
Call us immediately at (310) 740-6901. The priority is securing the opening to protect your property and allow your business to stay operational. We respond fast across Los Angeles, board up the damaged area the same visit, take measurements, and arrange permanent glass replacement as quickly as possible. Don’t leave a broken storefront unattended — it invites further damage and theft.
What is the difference between tempered and laminated storefront glass?
Tempered glass is heat-treated to be stronger than standard glass and shatters into small blunt pieces when broken. Laminated glass has an interlayer that holds it together when broken, making it harder to penetrate. Laminated is often preferred for security-sensitive storefronts.
What type of glass is used for commercial storefronts?
Commercial storefronts in California are required to use safety glass — either tempered or laminated. Most installations use tempered glass in aluminum framing systems. For higher security applications, laminated or impact-resistant glass may be specified instead. We source and install the correct glass type for every job and ensure all work meets California building code requirements.
Can a business stay open during storefront glass replacement?
In most cases yes. We board up the opening same day to secure the premises, which allows the business to continue operating while the permanent glass is being manufactured. Installation of the new glass is typically completed in one to two days and can often be scheduled around your business hours to minimize disruption.
Is storefront glass replacement covered by commercial property insurance?
Damage from break-ins, vandalism, or accidents is often covered under commercial property insurance policies. We provide detailed written estimates and invoices that you can submit directly to your insurer, and we can help with documentation where possible to support your claim.
