If your business or home has been affected by stormy weather, water damage, fire, or even a vehicle accident, your building will benefit from board-up services during the restoration process. Board-up services help insulate and protect your property before and after repairs, preventing additional issues from happening during the clean-up.

Reasons to Use Board Up Services

Board-up your property after a disaster may be helpful for a number of different reasons.

Severe weather conditions

Natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, thunderstorms, floods – all of these can create problems for homeowners and property managers that can potentially shatter windows, destroy shingles, or rip off siding. Emergency board-up services can help keep flying debris from damaging your property further.

Vehicle impact damage

Vehicle damage doesn’t just have to happen on the street. Vehicles can damage your property creating structural damage, including shattering windows and demolishing walls.

Vacant buildings

Even if your property is empty, board-up services will protect it from vandals or storms until it is sold, occupied, or repaired.

Fire damage

Board-up services can protect your property from heat caused by fire, ultimately preventing broken windows.

Overall preventative measures

These services can help prevent issues to your home if severe storms are on the rise, potentially causing flooding and building damage. Boarding up windows will help prevent damage from starting in the first place.

Cost Savings

The reasons above are just the beginning perks for board-up services. Cost savings not only comes from keeping your property fortified as discussed above, but there are additional ways that board-up services can save you money.

Keep your homeowner’s insurance

After an accident, insurance companies are called and claims are filed. Once you call your insurance company, call for board-up services. This will help keep your property safe and sound from additional issues and damage. Your insurance company will appreciate the additional protection and safeguard you from your insurance company dropping you or refusing to cover any damage.

Prevention of vandalism

Board-up services keep vandals out of your property. After a fire, storm, or vehicle accident, your building is vulnerable to the public. Protect your property from theft, squatters, and criminals by sealing it up tight.

Protection from other natural disasters

Covering your windows and other vulnerable areas of the building from the elements will save you time and money later on. This can also save you from filing an insurance claim and replacing broken windows down the line.
