What happens first when my storefront glass breaks?
The first priority is safety and security. Loose glass is removed, fragments are cleaned up, and the opening is closed with a board up or replacement glass. The permanent repair is planned from the measurements taken during that visit.
Can you help with my insurance claim?
We provide insurance claim documentation support. That means photos, measurements and written notes describing the damage and the glass specification, which you can share with your insurer or adjuster.
What is the difference between tempered and laminated safety glass?
Tempered glass breaks into small pieces and falls out of the frame. Laminated safety glass has an interlayer that holds broken pieces together so the opening stays closed. We work with both commercial types.
Do you board up broken windows until new glass arrives?
Yes. Emergency glass board up closes the opening securely when the replacement pane must be ordered or the frame needs repair first.
Do you repair storefront doors, closers and locks as well as glass?
Yes. Our services include storefront glass door replacement, commercial door closer repair, storefront lock repair and aluminum storefront frame repair, so the entrance works as one system.
Which areas do you serve?
We serve San Francisco, including Chinatown, the Mission District, Noe Valley and Bayview Hunters Point, as well as Daly City.
Can I make my storefront harder to break into?
Laminated safety glass replacement and security window film installation are the two options we discuss most. They help keep glass in the frame and can slow entry, though no glass can promise to stop every attempt.
