Storm-Ready: Protect Your Property with Glass Board-Up or Reinforced Entry Doors

Wisconsin storms are unpredictable. High winds, heavy rain, flying debris, and sudden temperature swings can turn a routine weather alert into serious property damage within minutes. For homes and businesses in Janesville, preparing before the storm is the most effective way to protect your building—and avoid the overwhelming cost and stress that follow severe weather events.



City Glass Company has long been the community’s trusted partner for storm protection and emergency response. Whether you’re safeguarding your storefront, rental property, or primary residence, the right preventive measures can make all the difference.

Two Smart Storm-Protection Options: Board-Up Services and Reinforced Entry Doors

When storms threaten, you have two reliable paths to securing your property: temporary board-up protection or investing in durable, reinforced entry doors. Each has its own strengths depending on your building, risk level, and long-term plans.

Glass Board-Up Services: Fast, Effective, and Essential in Emergencies

Board-up service is the first line of defense when severe weather is on the horizon. It’s ideal for vulnerable properties, buildings under renovation, vacant locations, or for business owners with large storefront windows.

Why Board-Up Protection Matters

• Shields windows and glass doors from flying debris
• Reduces the risk of interior water damage
• Prevents break-ins during power outages or after storm damage
• Provides temporary safety until permanent repairs can be made

City Glass Company responds quickly with professional board-up support—covering windows and glass panels securely so your property has the best chance of withstanding the storm.

When Board-Ups Are the Right Choice

• Sudden weather alerts
• Broken or compromised windows needing immediate coverage
• Vacant properties at risk
• Properties with large glass surfaces exposed to high winds

Board-ups give peace of mind when time is short and conditions are unpredictable.

Reinforced Entry Doors: A Long-Term Investment in Safety and Security

For property owners seeking year-round protection—not only from storms but also from break-ins—reinforced entry doors are a smart, high-value upgrade.

Advantages of Reinforced Doors

• Stronger structural frame resists wind pressure and impact
• Premium locking systems deter forced entry
• Insulated construction improves energy efficiency
• Durable materials (steel, fiberglass) stand up to weather far better than standard wood doors
• Enhanced security glass options resist shattering

A reinforced entry door acts as a security barrier, giving your building a critical layer of defense during both severe weather and everyday use.

Ideal for:

• Homes in open or wind-exposed areas
• Businesses with high traffic and security concerns
• Property owners seeking long-term storm resilience
• Anyone wanting a stronger front line of protection without sacrificing design

Modern reinforced doors come in a range of styles and finishes, ensuring safety doesn’t come at the expense of curb appeal.

Why Storm Preparedness Matters in Janesville

South-central Wisconsin sees its share of severe storms throughout the year—windstorms, hail, ice, tornado threats, and sudden downpours. Preparing early prevents:

• Broken or shattered windows
• Water intrusion and interior damage
• Safety hazards from broken glass
• Security vulnerabilities after structural compromise
• Expensive emergency repairs

The cost of preventive protection is always lower than the cost of storm recovery.
