When a fire, severe storm, or vehicle impact shatters your windows or damages your roof, your home is left completely exposed. Emergency board-up and tarping isn't just about privacy; it's a critical step in protecting your property from further disaster.
Preventing Secondary Damage
A broken window during a storm invites torrential rain into your living room, turning a simple glass replacement into a massive water damage and mold remediation project. Securing the envelope of your home immediately stops the elements from compounding your losses.
Deterring Vandalism and Theft
An open, damaged home is an easy target. Unfortunately, vacant or damaged properties frequently attract looters and vandals. Professional board-up services use heavy-duty materials and secure mounting techniques that make unauthorized entry extremely difficult, protecting your remaining belongings.
Insurance Compliance
Almost all homeowner insurance policies require you to mitigate further damage after an incident. If a fire breaks your windows and you fail to board them up, and a subsequent rainstorm ruins your hardwood floors, the insurance company may deny the claim for the water damage.
Not a DIY Job
"Nailing a flimsy piece of plywood to your window frame might seem easy, but if done incorrectly, you can cause severe structural damage to the framing, voiding warranties and creating expensive repair bills. We use specialized, non-destructive mounting systems." — Xavier
