Emergency Glass Board Up
When replacement glass cannot go in right away, a well built board up is what lets you lock the door and go home. Pacific Storefronts provides 24/7 emergency commercial glass and board up response across San Francisco for shops, restaurants and offices.
Overview
When Board Up Is the Right Call
A board up is temporary by design, but it should still be neat, secure and respectful of the building. That is how we build it.
Large display panes, laminated units and custom sizes usually need to be ordered. Until they arrive, the opening must be closed against weather and entry.
Board up also makes sense when the frame itself is damaged and must be repaired before new glass can be set safely.
Process
Board Up, Step by Step
- 01
Assess
The crew checks the frame, nearby panes and access so the board up is placed safely.
- 02
Clear
Loose glass is removed and the work area made safe for staff and the public.
- 03
Close
Panels are cut and fastened to secure the opening against weather and entry.
- 04
Plan
Measurements are taken so the replacement glass can be ordered without a second survey.

Keeping the Shop Usable While You Wait
Where a door is affected, we look at how to keep a usable entrance for staff and customers rather than sealing the business shut.
Board up is followed by permanent storefront glass replacement or glass door replacement, so the plywood comes down as soon as the new materials are ready.
Insurance claim documentation support is available, and our team serves San Francisco and Daly City. See our service areas or read the frequently asked questions.
