Boarding and Reglazing Replacing the pane of glass in a window.

 

Broken windows that allow access or elements into the property may need to be boarded or reglazed.

 

Boarding or reglazing broken windows may be needed to further protect a property from unwanted entry. Potential damage due to the elements is also a concern. For P&P properties boarding and reglazing must be completed per appropriate HUD / VA guidelines.

 

If the entire property has been boarded or screened, before/after photos of the entire front, entire back and both sides are needed (a total of 8 photos). Please do not take a separate photo of each single window. In addition, each boarded window must have an interior photo taken showing the bolts secured to 2x4's across the frame.

 

Removal of broken glass is part of the boarding / reglazing process.

 

If individual windows have been boarded, before and after photos are needed (2 photos). In addition, each boarded window must have an interior photo taken showing the bolts secured to 2x4's across the frame.

 

Reglazing photos must show a hand or rag through the broken window. For P&P properties, After photos should show the new window glass with either a taped "X" on the glass, or the glass can be marked with soap or a grease pencil.
