Emergency Board-Up Service
Same-day or next-business-day board-up where the call lands within business hours; opening secured with plywood, structural board, polycarbonate, or temporary glazing per opening size, access, and security exposure.
When a storefront fails after a Grand Strand storm, a vehicle hits a retail front, a break-in smashes a commercial entry, or hurricane-impact glass takes a hit above design threshold, you need two things on the same call: the opening secured today and a permanent proper-spec replacement on schedule. American Glass & Glazing handles both — four generations of glazing craftsmanship, three serving Myrtle Beach, backed by SC GC unlimited license #124400.
Same-day or next-business-day commercial board-up plus proper-spec permanent replacement across Myrtle Beach — storm, vandalism, vehicle-impact, break-in, and hurricane-impact damage handled end-to-end with insurance-claim documentation through one AGG crew.
Property managers and facility teams need one number that handles both the immediate secure and the permanent proper-spec replacement. Stage 1 is same-day or next-business-day board-up to secure the opening with plywood, structural board, polycarbonate, or temporary glazing. Stage 2 is permanent proper-spec replacement on schedule — typically 5–14 days from approved order depending on glass spec. Board-up vendors handle Stage 1; full-service glaziers handle Stage 2; AGG handles both, plus the insurance documentation that ties them together. SC GC unlimited license #124400 means we follow proper commercial-grade specs through every replacement — the storefront IGU your building expects, the ASTM-rated impact glass the coast demands, the YKK AP system your facility manager already approved. We prioritize emergency commercial calls during business hours and provide rapid response coordination. Hurricane season, tourism-market vandalism and accident exposure, and business-interruption insurance make repair speed materially matter on the Grand Strand.
Same-day or next-business-day board-up where the call lands within business hours; opening secured with plywood, structural board, polycarbonate, or temporary glazing per opening size, access, and security exposure.
Proper-spec replacement on schedule, typically 5–14 days from approved order. Standard storefront IGU runs faster than custom-spec laminated impact-rated. Storefront glazing installs in YKK AP systems (YES 45 FT, YES 60 TU, YHS 50 FI) — full product-line depth on Storefront Glass Repair & Installation.
When the existing frame supports the spec change, we upgrade to YKK AP ProTek hurricane-impact-rated glazing (ASTM E 1886, ASTM E 1996, Miami-Dade HVHZ TAS 201/202/203). The incremental upgrade is small relative to the install you're already paying for.
Documentation, photos, scope-of-loss assessment, and adjuster handoff included in the service quote with no separate fee. The carrier owns the coverage decision; the scope-of-loss your adjuster receives is clean and proper-spec.
Door closer, lock, panic device, hinge, and frame integrity verified during permanent replacement; security exposure restored to pre-incident state and, where applicable, upgraded to higher-rated laminated security glass.
Storefront broken glass after storm, vandalism, or vehicle impact; high-traffic shopping districts and tourism-market exposure.
Multi-tenant office storefronts, lobby curtain-wall, and interior partition glass damage from accidents or break-ins.
Storefront entry glass, patio dividers, and after-hours vandalism or break-in repair where Stage 2 turnaround is critical to reopening.
Hotel lobby glazing, oceanfront storefront damage post-storm, and guest-zone glass under coastal tourism exposure.
Ground-floor retail with residential above, common-area glass, and multi-tenant facade damage.
Clinic storefronts, medical office entries, and hospital-adjacent commercial glass where minimal-disruption replacement matters.
Homeowners across the Grand Strand looking for code-compliant, designer-grade glass work.
Interior designers coordinating glass scope with cabinet, paint, and finish trades.
Local businesses, HOAs, and property managers needing professional installation and code compliance.
Four generations of glazing craftsmanship, three generations serving Myrtle Beach, plus SC GC unlimited license #124400, a recent 21-story oceanfront precedent, and the restoration market as a core capability. Board-up vendors stop at the plywood; we follow through to the proper-spec permanent replacement — the storefront IGU your building expects, the ASTM-rated impact glass the coast demands, the YKK AP system your facility manager already approved.
The scope-of-loss your adjuster receives from us is clean, photographed, and proper-spec — documentation that makes the claim conversation easier without overpromising the carrier's coverage decision. A single AGG crew handles measure, board-up, fabrication coordination, and permanent install end-to-end. Hurricane season, salt air, and tourism-market exposure are real coastal differentiators, and the spec depth behind every replacement is built to match.
For calls that land within business hours, we prioritize emergency commercial dispatch and provide rapid response coordination — typically same-day or next-business-day board-up to secure the opening. Permanent replacement schedule depends on glass spec (covered in Q2). Service-call costs and replacement scope are quoted at consultation.
Yes — both stages. Stage 1 is same-day or next-business-day board-up using plywood, structural board, polycarbonate, or temporary glazing depending on opening size, access, and security exposure. Stage 2 is permanent proper-spec replacement on schedule — typically 5–14 days from approved order (standard storefront IGU about 5–10 days; custom-spec laminated impact-rated 10–14+ days). Industry pricing context: emergency board-up service calls run $300–$1,200+ depending on opening size, access, and after-hours; permanent commercial glass replacement runs $400–$1,500+ per pane depending on size, spec, and system. Board-up vendors handle Stage 1 only; AGG handles both, plus the insurance documentation that ties them together.
Yes — AGG handles documentation, photos, and scope-of-loss assessment for the carrier's adjuster, with coordination included in the service quote at no separate fee. The carrier owns the coverage decision (deductibles, exclusions, policy limits stay between the insured and the carrier). The proper-spec scope-of-loss the adjuster receives from us is clean and complete.
Often yes — when the existing storefront frame supports the impact spec, AGG can upgrade to YKK AP ProTek hurricane-impact-rated glazing during the replacement. ProTek meets ASTM E 1886, ASTM E 1996, and Miami-Dade/Broward HVHZ TAS 201/202/203 for coastal Wind Zones 3 and 4. Industry pricing context: hurricane-impact upgrade adds typically a 30–60% premium above standard spec. The incremental upgrade is small relative to the install you're already paying for.
Emergency commercial glass repair is time-sensitive — storm, vandalism, vehicle impact, break-in, or hurricane-impact failure that needs board-up plus replacement coordination on a fast workflow (this page). Non-emergency commercial storefront repair covers planned installations, scheduled repairs, tenant fit-outs, and new-construction storefront work — different scope, different timing, routed to Storefront Glass Repair & Installation →. AGG handles both, but the workflow and coordination differ.

Non-emergency commercial storefront work routes to Storefront Glass Repair & Installation; multi-unit post-storm restoration runs through Building Envelope Restoration; residential glass-door repair lives on Glass Door Installation & Repair.

I need to replaced a broken seal window pane. It was very easy to schedule the measurement and installation thru Loren. Trevor and Kevin did a fantastic job with the measurement and installation.

I highly recommend them and if we have another window go bad we absolutely will use them again ..
Your technician Trevor was wonderful! It was a very tough job but he removed the old glass, inserted the new and cleaned everything up. He is a tremendous asset to your company!
Trevor & Kevin were very professional & did a great job installing our shower door. Very personable & explained everything that was done. We would recommend this company 100%.
Trevor and Kevin took heat care of us. They came to my gym to replace a broken mirror. Everyone was friendly and professional all the way through the process. Mirror looks great and they cleaned up after themselves. Definitely recommend!!! Patrick Flynn - Owner Anytime Fitness Forestbrook
We chose American Glass & Glazing after speaking with Loren and she answered questions about their products and services. We were ready to replace the standard builders grade shower frame door that came with our home to something more elevated and easier to clean. From start to finish through on-site measurement, Loren and then the installers Trevor and Steven were very friendly and helpful. Work was done quickly - in only about two week turn around from start to installation. We would highly recommend American Glass & Glazing if you’re in the market for a shower upgrade or other glass project! I’ve added a before and after photo of the shower door. The frameless glass with black hardware really is a fabulous sleek look!
Trevor, Kevin and Lauren were all awesome. Professional and great craftsmanship. They installed a large mirror at my gym and did an amazing job! Definitely recommend. Patrick Flynn - Anytime Fitness Forestbrook
Trevor and Chip are seasoned professionals! They were timely, kind, and very knowledgeable. Our shower glass is absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything better. We know exactly who to call for all of our glass needs moving forward. Thank you for ending our renovation journey on a high note.

Great company and genuine people who are a pleasure to work with . We had an issue with leveling our store front door . I called Loren , she scheduled promptly. Trevor and his team came in , the next day , they went above and beyond in removing the front door and making sure the base is at a level then re-installed the door.
Best company!! The install guys to the office, a great experience!!!
The only company to go to for your glass needs! They just replaced our “builders grade” shower door with a semi-frameless door. They did a beautiful job! Highly recommended!
This company is the only glass company in the area that returned my call. They are fast, friendly and affordable. Loren and Trevor were both very knowledgeable and professional. They clean up before they leave as well. Highly recommend American Glass & Glazing for your glass repair or replacement needs!!
This company is amazing! I was so fortunate to have them replace the glass on a broken window rather than replace it!! Everyone is very courteous and their workmanship is exceptional. These folks really take pride in what they do. Thank you again!
I needed a small piece of glass, and was very pleased to have it done right there and then. Clean store, friendly service. Definitely will go there for all my glass needs.
American Glass & Glazing are the Best!!! From the start with Loren, she was fantastic answering all my questions and scheduling. Everything went perfectly with Trever and the install of a new tempered glass section on my oceanfront condo, window... fantastic! He also followed up and called me about checked about other patio doors on operation I asked for from Loren. This is what I want in a Window Contractor. Call them
Trevor and his assistants were on time, very courteous, and efficient in fixing our windows. They were truly a pleasure to deal with. My husband and I would highly recommend to others.
Super fast and friendly. Did a excellent job on our back doors glass replacement.
Very nice people and easy to work with! Measuring and installation went smoothly and they were very thorough with clean up. 5 stars for communication as well, this is hard to find!
Bifold shower door was installed with close attention to all details, no matter how small. They measured and remeasured to ensure that it was installed correctly and without flaws. Crew was highly professional, personable, and presented themselves that was a credit to their company. I highly recommend American Glass & Glazing for shower door update and install.
From start to finish our experience was perfect. The tech, Trevor, was tidy, polite, meticulous with his work. We had a couple of non-square pieces that needed precise patterns and he got them traced out exact. I'd highly recommend this company. Prior to calling we were stood up by one, then another came out and said they'd get us an estimate but never did. I was exasperated! Needless to say I was concerned but 3rd time was a charm.
Great job!!! Trevor and Justin were so friendly, courteous and professional. Installation was done in a timely fashion. This is a great company, from speaking with Loren who was very helpful all the way through to the installation. Love my shower door.!!!
Excellent Service! From scheduling to installation it was a great experience. Installers Trevor and Kevin were very professional, on time and Excellent work! We highly recommend this company!
The experiencing was amazing , they were quick and fairly priced. Was very pleased!
The entire process was easy from start to finish. The installer was courteous and quick to resolve issues with first install. Customer service department was polite and quick to respond as well.
Trevor and Kevin came to replace a bad glass panel, and did a great job replacing the glass. Thanks guys! On time, knew their job and cleaned up! Professional!
I had a window that needed to be replaced in a condo. American glass came out and measured, ordered, and replaced. I wasn’t able to be at the property when they did the work, but they kept me advised of their progress and made this project very easy.
Prompt and friendly small business. They were quick to come out and make a template for a custom glass top we will use to protect a coffee bar. Very happy with results, communication, and keeping appointments! Set it perfectly and cleaned spotlessly!
Trevor is very knowledgeable and does amazing work. I highly recommend American Glass & Glazing to everyone.
Looking for glass replacement for broken window seal. I wasn’t up for replacing the entire window and called for pricing and info. American Glass & Glazing responded promptly. I appreciate that they sent the same technicians to quote the job and perform the installation. They were on time, kind and courteous. I appreciate craftsmen working on my home having patience and not being in a giant rush to do a job. That is what I got with this company. I’ve decided to add another window for glass replacement that appears to be on its way out. I highly recommend calling American Glass & Glazing for your broken window seals if you have cloudy glass. I wasn’t up for trying to figure out who the window manufacturer is then pay shipping, removing interior shutters and having it installed myself then re-installing shutters & caulk which is how window warranty works. No thanks! If you’re considering a solution for your windows with broken seals, give them a call.
This company and their employees I had interaction with, were the best. Lauren, Trever and Keven were very professional, very respectful and just a true blessing to work with!! I thank each of them for making this an easy transaction. They were there when they said they would be! Everything was on time! I was never waiting to see when they would show up. They give you an hour window and they were there inside that window! Always with a call they were on their way! I love their communication with the customer!! ♥️
Staff was very easy to work with and are very respectful. The install took most of the day but was worth it! Love the new shower doors!’
Loren was responsive and easy to work with. Our delivery team, Trevor and Kevin, were awesome — professional, prompt, and super accommodating. Give these guys a raise! I’d definitely use American Glass again.
Just received delivery of our glass top for dining room table and could not be happier. What a pleasure working with Lauren and Trevor. From placing the order to delivery, true professionals. Would highly recommend.
Trevor and Kevin did a great job installing our new balancer, locks, and window glass. Very professional, punctual, and kind. We didn’t know the balancer was broke and Trevor told us about it which we appreciated. They ordered the part and installed it along with the other items. Thank you Trevor and Kevin. We would highly recommend this company and will use them again if needed.
Trevor from American glass did a great job replacing a difficult window with mutins that needed to line up exactly. Highly recommend.
Can’t say enough good things about this company! They are so friendly and do an amazing job! They came in under everyone else on price and had it installed in 2 weeks where everyone else was 3-4 weeks out. I will be referring them to everyone I know who needs glass installed. Thank you!!!
A professional, courteous and pleasant experience from start to finish. Loren in the office was thorough and communicative. We had a very clear idea of what to expect the day of measurement, the lead time to manufacture, and what the day of install would be like. Trevor and Kevin arrived, on time, and performed a seamless install, left our home in better condition than they found it, and did it with a smile. After our experience today, our family won’t consider using any company other than American Glass & Glazing, and neither should yours!
Excellent experience from my call to completion of the job. I needed to replace a damaged panel on my sliding glass door. The technicians were on time, did a great installation, and cleaned up when done. Would highly recommend.
Excellent. New glass made a huge difference. Trevor and Kevin were great - worked around drywall installers on site. Installed quickly and completely cleaned up.
