24/7 Security for Your Home or Business

A broken window or door leaves your property exposed to theft, vandalism, and the elements. Whether it's 2 AM or a holiday weekend, you cannot leave your home open. Installix provides rapid response emergency board-up services across the GTA. We arrive quickly, clean up the dangerous glass debris, and secure the opening with sturdy plywood, giving you peace of mind until a permanent glass replacement can be installed.

When to Call for Board-Up

Break-Ins & Vandalism

If your storefront or patio door has been smashed, immediate security is the priority. We secure the site so police reports can be filed and you can sleep safely.

Storm Damage

High winds and fallen branches can shatter windows. A board-up prevents rain, snow, and wind from causing secondary damage to your interior floors and furniture.

Fire Recovery

After a fire, windows are often broken by heat or by firefighters. We secure the shell of the building during the remediation process.

The Solution: Professional Security Boarding

We don't just nail plywood to your siding (which causes more damage). We use proper framing techniques to secure the board into the window opening whenever possible, minimizing damage to your frames and exterior finishes.

Why Choose Installix?

  • Rapid Response: We have technicians on call for after-hours emergencies.
  • Glass Cleanup: We remove the shattered glass safely so no one gets hurt.
  • Transition to Repair: We measure for the replacement glass immediately while on-site, starting the repair process instantly.

Technical Specifications

Material Usage
1/2" or 5/8" Plywood Standard for residential and small commercial openings. Strong and weather resistant.
2x4 Framing Used to brace the plywood against the frame for larger openings (e.g., patio doors).
Safety Film If glass is cracked but intact, we may use heavy-duty collision film to hold it together instead of boarding.

Our Process: Secure & Measure

Step 1: Arrival & Assessment

We assess the stability of the remaining glass. We document the damage with photos for your insurance claim.

Step 2: Clean Up

We sweep and vacuum glass from inside and outside. Safety is paramount.

Step 3: Secure Boarding

We cut plywood to fit and secure it. We ensure it is tight against weather but removable when the new glass arrives.

Pricing Factors

  • Time of Day: After-hours and weekend calls incur an emergency call-out fee.
  • Size of Opening: Larger openings require more materials (multiple sheets of ply).
  • Height: Second-story board-ups require ladders and two technicians.

Our Service Promise

We secure your property first, then we fix it. One call solves the immediate crisis and plans the permanent solution.

What Our Clients Say

"Tim came by to assess a bay window that had lost its seal. Instead of pushing a full replacement, he measured for just the glass. The internal grid match was exact. He saved us about $2,000 compared to the other quote."

Ihor Kovalchuk

Etobicoke

"We had a landscaping rock go right through our sliding patio door. Danyil arrived to board it up and measured immediately. He was meticulous about cleaning up the broken glass shards from our hardwood and the deck. The new tempered unit was installed a week later and looks perfect."

Oksana Boyko

North York

"We needed a large custom mirror for our home gym. The team handled the tight turn in our basement stairwell perfectly. The mirror is distortion-free and really opens up the room. Professional work."

Vasyl Melnyk

Mississauga

"Tim is a true craftsman. We have old wood casement windows that were foggy and drafty. He replaced the glass carefully without chipping the paint or damaging the stops. It's rare to find tradespeople who treat your home with this much respect."
