Board-Up

Definition

Board-up is an emergency service that involves securing a damaged property by covering broken windows, doors, and other openings with plywood or other protective materials. Board-up prevents further damage from weather, intrusion, or animals and provides security until permanent repairs can be made. It's commonly needed after fires, storms, vehicle impacts, and break-ins. Many restoration companies offer 24/7 board-up services as part of their emergency response capabilities.
