24/7 Emergency Board-Up Service

Glass broken at 2 AM? We pick up the phone, board it up tonight, and put real glass back in by daylight. 24/7 emergency board-up service across Chicagoland.

Walgreens, CVS, gas stations, restaurants, dispensaries, and property managers call Chicago Glass Company when a storefront fails outside business hours — vandalism, smash-and-grab, vehicle impact, severe weather. We respond fast, secure the opening, document for insurance, and schedule the permanent glass replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How fast can you respond?
A: Most Chicagoland calls get a crew on site within 60–90 minutes, 24/7/365.

Q: What does an emergency board-up cost?
A: Starting at $499 for a single standard storefront opening. Larger openings, after-hours premium, and curtain-wall situations quote on the call.

Q: Do you bill the insurance company directly?
A: Yes for established accounts — we coordinate with major commercial carriers and provide all photo documentation and scope reports your adjuster needs.

Q: Will the board-up look terrible?
A: It's plywood — secure and weather-tight, not pretty. The point is to keep your store closed-up until we install real glass. Most replacements happen within 5–10 business days.

Q: Do you handle the permanent replacement too?
A: Yes. Same crew that boards you up measures, fabricates, and installs the replacement. One vendor, one invoice.
