Do You Need Board-Up Services After a Fire or Storm?
When a fire, storm, break-in, or structural accident damages your home, securing the property is one of the most important steps you can take. Open windows, shattered glass, roof damage, and compromised doors expose your home to weather, theft, pests, and safety risks. They can also complicate your insurance claim if the property is not protected quickly.
National First Response provides emergency board up services and roof tarping services throughout Mesa, Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, and surrounding Arizona communities. With 24 hour board up service and decades of command-level experience, our team responds fast and protects your home with urgency and precision.
What Are Board-Up Services?
Board up services involve securing a damaged property by covering openings with weather-resistant materials such as plywood and reinforced tarps. This includes:
- Windows
- Doors
- Broken walls
- Attic or roof openings
- Compromised entry points after fire, storm, or impact damage
Board up and tarping services are a critical first step in any emergency restoration plan. They protect the structure, stabilize the site, and prevent secondary damage that insurance may refuse to cover if the home was left unsecured.
Why Acting Fast Matters
When you need board up service, timing is everything. Immediate action protects your home from additional damage that can occur even hours after the event.
1. Protection From Weather
Monsoon storms, rain, dust, and wind can enter through openings and cause deeper structural or moisture damage.
2. Prevention of Theft and Vandalism
A damaged property can attract trespassers. Emergency board up services block access and protect your valuables.
3. Preservation of Insurance Evidence
Insurance adjusters need to see the original damage. Additional destruction from exposure can complicate the claim or reduce coverage.
4. Safety for Families and Neighbors
Broken glass, unstable framing, and exposed roofing create dangerous conditions. Board up services create a safe environment until repairs begin.
5. Faster Restoration
Securing the property allows restoration crews to work safely and begin cleanup, drying, and repairs sooner.
Homeowners in Mesa and the surrounding cities choose National First Response because we handle board up services with professional precision and immediate response.
