A broken storefront window at 2 AM isn’t something you can deal with in the morning. Every hour your building is exposed means risk — theft, weather damage, liability, and lost revenue.
Here’s the quick version of what to do:
- Call the police and file a report (you’ll need this for insurance)
- Photograph everything before anything is touched or moved
- Call a 24/7 emergency board-up service immediately
- Contact your insurance company with the police report and photos
A professional board-up secures the opening with plywood or polycarbonate panels, removes broken glass, and measures for permanent replacement — all in one visit. The board-up protects your property while replacement glass is fabricated, which typically takes 1–3 business days.
The key is response time. Don’t wait until morning. Don’t try to tape cardboard over the opening. A proper board-up makes your building secure and shows your insurance company you took reasonable steps to mitigate further damage.
