A Car Drove Through My Storefront
As a glass company specializing in emergency board-ups and same-day glass replacement for homes and businesses we get this call more often than you would think.
What are your options and how much will it cost?
This last month we had 3 incidents where vehicles smashed into a business glass wall and or windows and doors. There was three different scenarios that ranged in price from a one visit service call, to just new doors, to all new doors and frames and glass.
Incident 1 we were able to salvage everything. Service call and repaired within hours.
Incident 2 we were able to replace just the doors and glass and re-use door frames and entrance.
Incident 3we had to replace the door, door frame and sidelight metal and new glass.
Truck Smashes into a business wall
Aluminum frame is pushed back about a foot. The glass doesn’t break. On assessing the situation it seemed we could remove the glass safely. Move the bent storefront back into place. Re-anchor it into the concrete and re-seal with construction sealant.
Car runs into commercial doors
This car smashed into the doors but the side jams were ok. We were able to just replace the doors and keep the existing frame and structure. We matched up the door hardware and style and re-used the customers mag locks and installed a fresh pair of doors.
Vehicle Breaks Through Door and Window at business
This vehicle broke through and smashed the whole commercial door and sidelights attached to the door. We were able to board up and remove the broken glass and storefront on the same-day. We then came back and removed the wood and installed the new single door storefront system. We spliced it in with matching storefront. Most storefront frames are either 4 or 4.5″ wide so it’s important to match up with the correct type.
