What is Emergency Board Up?

Emergency Board Up mitigates damage, restores structural integrity, and returns your property to pre-loss condition. Our trained professionals address the root cause and repair the affected areas.

When is it needed?

Call us immediately after discovering damage. Delaying treatment leads to secondary issues like mold growth, structural failure, and increased repair costs. The sooner we arrive, the more property we save.

How do we fix it?

We inspect the damage, contain the area, and mitigate immediate threats. We then use commercial-grade equipment to restore your property and rebuild any damaged structures.

Does insurance cover it?

Sudden and accidental damage is typically covered by homeowners insurance. We work directly with your insurance adjuster, provide detailed documentation, and bill them directly.

How long does it take & cost?

Timelines and costs vary based on the severity of the damage. Minor mitigation takes 3-5 days, while full reconstruction takes weeks. We provide transparent, upfront estimates before any work begins.

What should I do immediately after a fire?

Ensure everyone is safe and wait for the fire department's clearance before re-entering. Do not attempt to clean soot yourself, as you can cause permanent damage. Call us immediately for emergency board-up.

Can you get rid of the smoke smell permanently?

Yes. We use advanced techniques like ozone treatments and thermal fogging to neutralize smoke odor molecules at the source, rather than just masking them.

Do you handle the structural rebuilding too?

Absolutely. We are a full-service restoration company, meaning we handle everything from the initial cleanup to the final reconstruction.
