Emergency Window Repair in Ottawa

This page is for homeowners dealing with a broken window right now in the Ottawa area. Call us any time, day or night — we secure the opening first, then replace the glass while keeping your frame.

What we do during the emergency visit

First, we make the window safe. We remove loose and dangerous shards, clean up the glass around the opening, and close the hole properly — with a solid board-up or a temporary transparent sealing depending on the window. Your home is protected from weather, animals, and intruders that same visit, whether it happens at noon or at 2 a.m.

Then we replace the glass — not the whole window

While we are on site, we measure the exact dimensions and thickness of the broken unit. Sealed thermos units and tempered glass are custom manufactured, so the permanent glass is installed on a second visit as soon as it is ready. Your frame, trim, and walls stay untouched — you pay for new glass, not a new window.

Emergencies we handle

Break-ins and attempted break-ins, storm and wind damage, a ball or rock through the pane, glass that cracked from a temperature swing, shattered patio door glass, and any broken window that leaves your home open. If you are not sure whether your situation is urgent, call — we will tell you honestly what it needs.

What to do while you wait

Keep children and pets away from the area. Do not pull glass out of the frame — shards above the opening can fall. Do not try to remove large cracked panes yourself, especially patio door glass, which is heavy. If glass is on the floor, wear shoes and work gloves to clear a path, and leave the rest for us. Take a few photos before we arrive if you plan to make an insurance claim.

We respond to window emergencies across Ottawa, Nepean, Kanata, Stittsville, Orleans, Gloucester, Barrhaven, and Manotick, plus Gatineau, Hull, and Aylmer on the Quebec side. Service is available in English and in French, 24/7.

Questions about this service

Do you really answer at night and on weekends?

Yes. Broken windows do not wait for Monday morning. Call 343-204-0366 any time — if a window in your home is open to the outside, we treat it as an emergency.

Can you replace the glass on the spot?

Usually we secure the opening first. Sealed thermos units and tempered glass are custom manufactured to your window's exact size, so the permanent glass is installed as soon as it is ready. Our board-up keeps your home safe and weather-tight in the meantime.

How much does an emergency visit cost?

It depends on the size of the opening and the time of the call-out. We give you a clear price on the phone before we drive out, and the emergency visit is credited toward the glass replacement when you do it with us.

Will this work for my insurance claim?

Yes. We document the damage, provide a detailed receipt for the emergency securing and the glass replacement, and can supply photos — everything your insurer typically asks for in a claim.
