Plenty of glass companies advertise "24/7 emergency service" while their own posted hours tell a different story: round-the-clock in the FAQ, then 8:00 am to 5:00 pm in the footer. Sonshine Glass & Mirror will not sell you a promise we can't keep after dark.
Same-day means something specific here. Call us or text photos of the break during business hours, and when a crew is available, we quote and schedule the repair the same day. We handle residential and commercial breaks across Orange County with our own technicians. If you reach us after hours, we book you for same-day service the next business day rather than leaving a phone ringing into voicemail.
We handle the breaks that leave you exposed and need glass back in the frame fast.
Get everyone out of the room first and close the door behind you, because glass injuries happen in the rush and shards can travel fifteen feet from the impact point. Put on thick leather or cut-resistant gloves, closed-toe shoes, and safety glasses before you touch anything. Leave any hanging shards alone, since tempered glass can collapse into thousands of pieces if you disturb it while it's still partly intact.
Once the area is clear, protect the opening. For a crack that hasn't broken through, wipe both sides dry and run clear packing or duct tape in a crisscross grid a couple inches past the crack. For a full break, cover the opening with heavy-duty 6-mil plastic sheeting for a day or two, or half-inch plywood screwed into the frame from the outside for longer stretches. Cardboard works in a pinch. Treat any covering as a stopgap, not a repair.
Photograph the damage from several angles before you finish cleaning up, including any water intrusion or damaged items nearby. Those photos protect an insurance record and let us quote accurately.
When you call Sonshine, have the window size, the glass type if you know it (single pane, double pane, or tempered), how it broke, and your photos ready. That information moves your same-day quote along faster.
Getting a broken window fixed comes down to three steps.
Most quotes are free when you send photos or details by text. Some on-site measurements may carry a small trip fee, and we tell you that before we come out.
Most glass companies cover their work with a "comprehensive warranty" that varies by product and installation type, explained only during the estimate. Read a few of these pages and you find no clear duration, no stated split between labor and materials, and no lifetime language. That vagueness leaves you guessing what happens if a seal fails or an install shifts.
Sonshine states the terms up front. You get a lifetime warranty on both labor and materials, which does not cover glass that breaks after installation. That commitment holds because Sonshine's own crew handles the measuring, fitting, and installation, so the same people who did the work stand behind it. When one team owns the whole install, accountability does not disappear into a subcontractor's schedule.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most from Orange County callers after a break.
Often, yes. Call or send photos during business hours, and if a technician and the right glass are available, we quote and schedule the install the same day. Complex sizes or specialty glass sometimes need an order first.
Yes. We secure commercial storefronts with temporary board-up, then replace the glass once the correct panel is on hand.
Most single-pane and standard double-pane residential replacements run roughly $250 to $650, depending on size, glass type, and frame condition. We confirm the exact price after seeing your photos or the opening.
No. We work business hours only, not a 24/7 line. Call or submit photos after hours, and we schedule same-day service for the next business day.
Call us or text photos of the break during business hours. We send a quote the same day when crew availability allows, then our own installers handle the work. Serving Costa Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and communities across Orange County.
