A&P Glass Solutions offers emergency glass service during business hours. Call us and we'll dispatch a technician to your location as quickly as possible. Our emergency response typically arrives within 2 hours.

When we arrive, we secure the opening so your property is protected from weather, intruders, and further damage. We clean up all broken glass from the area safely and thoroughly. Then we take measurements and coordinate the permanent replacement glass, giving you a clear timeline for completion.

Broken glass is a security risk that gets worse with time. An unsecured opening invites weather damage, pests, and potential intruders. The faster the opening is secured, the less secondary damage your property takes. That sense of urgency is why we prioritize emergency calls and keep our trucks stocked with the materials needed to secure openings on the spot.

The causes of emergency glass calls in Tampa Bay break down into a few common categories. Accidental breakage is the most frequent: a lawn mower throws a rock into a window, a child hits a baseball through a sliding door, or someone backs into a glass panel while moving furniture. Break-ins and vandalism are the second most common, especially for commercial properties. Storm damage peaks during hurricane season, but strong afternoon thunderstorms can send branches through windows any time of year.

What Qualifies as a Glass Emergency

A glass emergency is any situation where a broken or compromised glass panel creates an immediate security risk, safety hazard, or exposure to weather. The most obvious examples are a shattered storefront after a break-in, a window blown in during a storm, or a sliding glass door that a person or object has gone through. In all of these cases, the opening needs to be secured quickly to prevent further damage, injury, or unauthorized entry.

Some situations are less obvious but still qualify. A cracked tempered glass panel that has not yet fallen apart is an emergency because tempered glass can collapse entirely without warning once the integrity of the panel is compromised. A window with a large hole from an impact, even if the rest of the glass is intact, is an emergency because it exposes the interior to rain, insects, and potential intruders. A broken glass door on a commercial property is an emergency regardless of the time of day because it leaves merchandise and equipment exposed.

Situations that are not emergencies, even though they feel urgent, include foggy windows from a broken seal, a small chip in a window pane that has not spread, or a cracked mirror. These should be repaired, but they can wait for a scheduled appointment without putting anyone or anything at risk.

FAQ

Emergency Glass Questions

During business hours (Mon-Sat), we typically arrive within 2 hours. For immediate security concerns, we'll talk you through temporary safety measures over the phone while we're en route.
Emergency board-up service has a service call fee that varies by location. The permanent glass replacement itself is priced at our standard rates. We'll always communicate costs clearly before performing any work.
Safety first: keep people and pets away from the broken glass. If weather is a concern, hang a tarp or heavy plastic over the opening from the inside. Don't try to remove large shards. Leave that to us. If it was a break-in, contact police first, then call us.
Our board-ups are built to hold up until the permanent glass is installed, whether that is two days or three weeks. We use exterior-grade plywood fastened into the structural frame with appropriate fasteners for the wall type. The edges are sealed to resist water intrusion. In normal weather conditions, a properly installed board-up will keep rain, insects, and intruders out. During a named storm with sustained high winds, plywood is not a substitute for impact-rated glass or approved shutters, but for the interim period while replacement glass is being fabricated, it provides solid protection.
Yes. After major storms, we handle multi-opening board-ups for both residential and commercial properties. We carry enough plywood and hardware on the truck to board up several openings in a single trip. For widespread storm damage, we prioritize by security risk: ground-floor openings and doors get secured first, then upper-floor windows. We work through the list systematically and keep you informed on timing for each opening.
