Emergency Board Up Services
After a break-in, storm, vehicle impact, or fire, we secure homes and businesses with 1/2- or 5/8-inch CDX plywood fastened with structural screws or carriage bolts. Every truck carries plywood, 2x4 lumber, and a generator, so we can lock down your property the same night. When permanent repairs are ready, we'll come back and pull the boards.

Window and Door Board Up
For broken windows and kicked-in doors, we cut plywood to fit the opening and either screw it into the frame or bolt it through to 2x4 strongbacks on the inside, so no one can pry it off from outside. If you still need a working door, we hang a plywood door on heavy strap hinges and secure it with a hasp and padlock.

Fire Damage Board Up
Once the fire department releases the scene, we board up burned-out windows, doors, and wall openings with plywood. Where the framing is charred or weakened, we add 2x4 bracing to hold everything secure.
-
Emergency Roof Tarping
We run heavy-duty poly tarps over the ridge and fasten them down with 2x4 battens and cap nails, keeping rain out of your home until the roof can be repaired.
-
Vacant Property Board Up
We protect vacant and foreclosed properties from squatters and vandals with plywood or polycarbonate window panels, bolted through with carriage bolts.
