Montreal emergency glass boarding — secure the opening today

Smashed or broken window from a storm, a break-in or an accident? We board up the opening fast so your home is secure and weatherproof within hours — a fastened plywood panel, not taped-up sheeting, sealed against wind and blowing snow.

  • Every opening measured on-site
  • Full air-seal on every unit
  • Written frame + sealed-glass warranty
Montreal emergency glass boarding — a broken window boarded up and secured

Why it matters

Secure a broken window the same day

A broken window is a security problem and a weather problem at once — an open pane invites intruders, and in Montreal winters it lets winter cold pour in, threatening frozen pipes and hours of heat loss. We board it up quickly and solidly so your home stays safe, dry and warm while the permanent fix is arranged.

We fasten a proper board panel to the opening so it actually holds, then weatherproof the edges against wind and snow. Next we measure for matching glass repair or, if the seal has blown, foggy sealed unit repair — and where the frame is beyond saving, a full window replacement, quoted before any further work.

Common questions

Montreal emergency glass boarding, answered

Response speed, permanent glass and insurance for board-ups.

We treat board-ups as urgent and prioritize them, because a broken window in Montreal is a security and freezing risk that gets worse by the hour. Our goal is to get the opening secured and weatherproofed as quickly as we can so your home is safe, warm and dry the same day. The exact response depends on the time and our current schedule, but emergency board-up jumps ahead of routine measures. Once it is boarded, the permanent glass or window is ordered and installed as soon as it is ready.
Yes — the board-up is only step one. After the opening is secured, we measure the exact size and glass type, order the matching sealed unit or a full replacement window if the frame is damaged, and install it once it arrives. That way you deal with one crew for the whole event, from securing the home to finishing the permanent repair, rather than chasing a separate glazier. We give you the price for the permanent fix up front so there are no surprises after the emergency is handled.
Often, yes. We can provide clear documentation of the damage and the repair — a description, the scope and the quote — which is exactly what insurers ask for on a broken-window or break-in claim, and it can make your claim faster and smoother. We are not the insurer and cannot approve a claim, but the paperwork we provide supports it. If a break-in or storm is involved, secure the home first with the board-up, photograph the damage, and we will supply the documentation to go with your claim.
We prioritize emergency board-ups because an open window is a security and freezing risk; we aim to secure it as fast as possible whenever it happens.
Yes — the emergency board-up is quoted separately from the permanent glass, and we give you both prices up front so there are no surprises.

A branch went through our window in a storm. They boarded it up the same day and had the new glass in within days. Lifesaver in winter.
