Emergency Board-Up Services in Toronto
24/7 emergency board-up to secure your property after fire, storm, or break-in damage
What is emergency board-up?
When a property suffers damage from a fire, storm, break-in, or vehicle collision, broken windows, damaged doors, and holes in the structure leave it exposed to weather, theft, and further damage. Emergency board-up service is the first line of defense securing every open point of entry quickly so the property is protected while repairs and insurance claims move forward.
Board-up involves covering broken windows, damaged doors, and structural openings with plywood or specialized boarding materials, along with tarping any exposed roof sections. It’s often the very first step in the restoration process, done immediately after our team arrives on-site, before extraction, cleanup, or repair work even begins. Acting fast here matters an unsecured property left overnight is at real risk of weather damage, vandalism, or theft. Our technicians can typically secure a property within an hour of your call, 24 hours a day.
We work directly with your insurance provider, since board-up costs following a covered event are usually included in your claim.
