Serving Arlington & Northern Virginia — Fast Response, Licensed & Insured, Free Estimates.
A broken window or shattered glass door is not just an inconvenience — it is an open vulnerability. Left unaddressed, a damaged opening exposes your property to rain, wind, vandalism, and unauthorized entry. In a densely populated area like Arlington, where commercial corridors and residential streets sit close together, an unsecured opening can escalate a single incident into a far larger and more costly problem. Acting quickly with a professional board up service minimizes secondary damage to interiors, inventory, equipment, and personal belongings. It also signals to neighbors, tenants, and passersby that the situation is being handled responsibly. Our team arrives with the right materials and tools to secure openings of virtually any size, providing a sturdy temporary barrier that holds until permanent glass replacement can be scheduled. Speed and reliability are not optional when your property's security is on the line.
Our board up process is straightforward, thorough, and built around minimizing disruption to your operations or household. When you call us, we gather basic information about the damage, confirm your location, and dispatch a crew promptly. Upon arrival, our technicians assess the full extent of the damage — checking not just the broken pane or panel but the surrounding frame and structure for any additional concerns. We then measure and cut heavy-duty materials to fit the opening precisely, securing them firmly to prevent movement in wind or from tampering. Every board up is treated as a professional installation, not a temporary patch. We also document our work, which can be helpful when coordinating with your insurance carrier or planning the next steps for permanent repair. Before we leave, we walk you through the condition of the secured opening and answer any questions you have about what comes next.
Arlington is home to a diverse mix of properties — from high-rise office buildings and retail storefronts along the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor to apartment complexes, single-family homes, and mixed-use developments spreading out toward Pentagon City and beyond. Our emergency board up service is equipped to handle the full range. Property managers overseeing multi-tenant commercial buildings rely on us to respond quickly and professionally so their tenants and operations are protected. General contractors and developers with active construction sites count on us to secure damaged or breached glazing openings before conditions worsen. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Clarendon or Lyon Village call us when storms, accidents, or break-ins leave them with an exposed opening that cannot wait until morning. No matter the property type or scale of the damage, we bring the same level of care and urgency to every job.
A board up is a critical first step, but it is always a temporary measure. Our team is also fully equipped to handle the permanent glass repair and replacement that follows. Once your property is secured and you are ready to move forward, we can assess the damaged opening and recommend the appropriate glass product and framing solution for your specific situation. This continuity of service — from emergency response through final installation — saves you time and the hassle of coordinating with a second contractor. We work with a wide range of commercial and residential glass types and can match existing glazing where possible to maintain visual consistency. Whether you need a single residential window replaced or multiple storefront panels restored in a commercial building near Ballston, we manage the full scope of work from start to finish.
