The Problem

  • The front storefront glass had been broken, leaving the opening exposed and requiring immediate temporary securing.

How We Fixed It

  • We covered the damaged storefront opening with plywood board-up to provide temporary protection.

Secure the Opening First

When storefront glass breaks and the opening is exposed, emergency board-up can protect the property while measured permanent glass replacement is planned separately.

Final Result

The damaged storefront opening was temporarily closed off with plywood board-up after the glass was broken.
