Broken glass left the auto repair shop exposed

The damaged exterior panel created an unsafe and unsecured opening at the Portland Street business.

A custom plywood panel protected the shop while precise replacement-glass dimensions were recorded.

The Problem

  • The auto repair shop had a broken exterior window that left the business vulnerable to weather, unauthorized access, and further glass movement.
  • The opening faced the street and could not remain unsecured while a custom replacement panel was being prepared.

How We Fixed It

  • We secured and measured the opening during the emergency visit.
  • Once the replacement panel was ready, we removed the board-up, prepared the existing frame and installed and sealed the new glass.

The auto-shop window regained clear glass and a finished street-facing opening while retaining the surrounding frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you board up a broken business window and measure for replacement glass during the same visit?

Often yes. When the opening can be inspected safely, we can secure it and capture the dimensions and frame details needed for the permanent glass order during the same emergency visit.

Is board-up the final commercial glass repair?

No. Board-up is temporary protection. The permanent repair is completed when the correctly measured glass panel is installed into the existing storefront or commercial window system.

How long did this Mimico board-up and glass replacement take?

The auto repair shop was secured and measured on July 6, and the new commercial glass was installed on July 8 — two calendar days later.

Do you provide emergency board-up and commercial glass replacement in Mimico?

Yes. We provide emergency securing, commercial glass measurement, and permanent replacement in Mimico, Toronto, and across the GTA.
