Emergency Board-Up and Storefront Glass Replacement in Mimico
An exterior window at an auto repair shop on Portland Street in Mimico was broken and could not be left exposed. DoorWin secured the opening with a fitted plywood board-up on July 6, measured the replacement glass during the same visit, and installed the new commercial glass on July 8.
The business stayed protected while the custom replacement panel was prepared, allowing the project to move from emergency protection to a permanent repair within two calendar days.

Problem
Broken exterior business window left the shop exposed
Work Completed
Board-up and measurement July 6; new glass installed July 8
From Broken Window to New Glass in Two Days
The project moved through three clear stages: damage assessment, temporary protection, and permanent commercial glass installation.
July 6, 2026 Damage Assessed
Broken glass left the auto repair shop exposed
The damaged exterior panel created an unsafe and unsecured opening at the Portland Street business.
July 6, 2026 Emergency Board-Up
The opening was secured and measured during the same visit
A custom plywood panel protected the shop while precise replacement-glass dimensions were recorded.
July 8, 2026 Permanent Repair
New commercial glass restored the opening
DoorWin removed the temporary protection and installed the new panel in the existing frame two calendar days after the emergency visit.
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
- DoorWin removed the immediate hazard, fitted a custom plywood board-up to protect the opening, and recorded the replacement-glass measurements during the first visit on July 6.
- On July 8, the temporary board-up was removed, the existing frame was prepared, and the new commercial glass was installed and sealed.
Two-Day Emergency-to-Permanent Repair
The same emergency visit secured the business and captured the measurements needed for the permanent repair. The shop remained protected while the glass was prepared, and the finished panel was installed two calendar days later.
Board-Up Is Temporary — New Glass Completes the Repair
A board-up protects the property when a replacement panel is not immediately available. The strongest emergency workflow also documents the opening during the first visit, so the business can move efficiently from temporary plywood protection to a properly fitted permanent glass panel.
Final Result
The auto repair shop’s opening was protected the same day and permanently restored with new commercial glass on July 8. The finished window returned visibility, weather protection, and a clean business-facing appearance without replacing the surrounding frame system.

Learn MoreFrequently 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, DoorWin 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. DoorWin provides emergency securing, commercial glass measurement, and permanent replacement in Mimico, Toronto, and across the GTA.
