When Emergency Securing Is Needed
Board-up and tarping are often the very first step after a disaster—before cleanup, drying, or repairs can begin. We’re called most often after:
-
Fire damage — broken windows and doors, damaged roofing, and openings left after firefighting (see fire damage restoration)
-
Storm damage — missing shingles, torn roofing, and broken windows from wind or hail (see storm damage restoration)
-
Vandalism and break-ins — smashed windows and forced doors
-
Vacant or foreclosed properties — securing properties before they become a liability
-
Vehicle impacts — damage to walls, garages, and entryways
Without securing, the next rainstorm or intruder can turn a manageable loss into a major one.
What Our Emergency Securing Service Includes
Emergency board-up. Broken windows, doors, and other openings are covered with professional-grade plywood and secured so the property is weather-tight and protected from entry.
Roof tarping. Damaged or missing roofing is covered with heavy-duty tarps, properly weighted and secured, to keep rain out until permanent repairs can be made. (Permanent roofing repairs fall under storm damage restoration.)
Temporary fencing. Perimeter fencing secures the property and keeps unauthorized people out, especially on larger or vacant properties.
Additional security (as needed). For high-risk properties, we can coordinate surveillance or monitoring to protect the site until repairs are complete.
Documentation. We photograph and document all securing work for your insurance claim.

FAQs
How quickly can you board up or tarp my property?
We respond 24/7 and aim to secure properties the same day—often within hours—because the longer a property is open, the greater the risk of further damage.
Will my insurance cover board-up and tarping?
In most cases, yes—emergency securing is typically covered as part of a fire, storm, or vandalism claim. We document everything and bill your insurer.
How long can a tarp stay on my roof?
A properly installed tarp can protect a roof for weeks or months, but it’s a temporary measure. Permanent repairs should be scheduled as soon as possible.
Do you secure vacant properties?
Yes. We secure vacant and foreclosed properties to prevent vandalism, trespassing, and weather damage.
What if the property is unsafe to enter?
We assess safety first. If structural damage or other hazards make entry unsafe, we’ll advise you and coordinate the safest approach.
