Storefront Glass Repair in Vancouver
Repair and replacement for shop windows, restaurant fronts, and ground-floor office glass. If the store is open to the street, the opening is boarded first. Vancity Glass Ltd is at 1289 Hornby St and is open 24 hours for that call.
How a storefront repair is done
- The opening is measured, including the bite of the frame and the glass thickness
- Loose glass is cleared off the sidewalk before the board goes on
- Tempered or laminated glass is set in the existing frame when the frame is reusable
- A bent frame or a broken door rail is quoted separately from the lite
Overnight calls start on the emergency board-up page. Wider commercial work, including partitions and entrances, is on the commercial glass page.

Questions about storefront glass
Can you board up a storefront after a break-in?
Yes. Emergency board-up is available 24 hours. The opening is secured so the business can lock up, and the glass is replaced once the size and thickness are confirmed. Call 778-239-6052.
What glass goes back into a storefront?
Most shop windows are tempered safety glass. Laminated glass is used when the pane should stay in the opening after an impact. The existing aluminium frame is reused when it is straight and the glazing pocket is intact.
Which Vancouver shopping streets do you cover?
Regular storefront work includes Robson, Granville, Davie, Denman, Main Street, Commercial Drive, and Broadway. Outside Vancouver, common strips include Columbia Street in New Westminster, King George in Surrey, and No. 3 Road in Richmond.
Do you repair office and restaurant glass as well as retail?
Yes. The same crew handles street retail, restaurant fronts, and ground-floor office glass. Interior office partitions are quoted as commercial work rather than as an emergency storefront.
