When glass breaks, the first job is securing the opening. GlassForge board-up crews respond 24/7 across the Philadelphia metro with pre-cut plywood, fasteners and temporary glazing, protecting your property from weather, intrusion and liability.

We photograph and document every opening for your insurance claim, and when you’re ready for permanent glass, the board-up fee is credited toward the replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you board up my property?
City of Philadelphia: 45–90 minutes typical. Suburbs, South Jersey and Wilmington: 60–120 minutes. Crews carry materials for standard openings so the job is done in one visit.
Is board-up covered by insurance?
Almost always — securing the property after damage is an insurer-expected mitigation step. We provide the itemized invoice and photos your adjuster wants to see.
Do you board up vacant or foreclosed properties?
Yes, including code-compliant securing for vacant property ordinances in Philadelphia and surrounding municipalities. We work with property managers, banks and estates.
Is the board-up fee really credited back?
Yes — book the permanent glass replacement with us and the board-up charge comes off the final invoice.
Can you do temporary glazing instead of plywood?
For storefronts that need to stay presentable, we install temporary acrylic or polycarbonate glazing instead of plywood so you stay open for business.
