What's included
What Our Board-Up and Roof Tarping Includes
Our board-up and roof tarping service covers everything needed to secure your property after a fire, storm, or accident. We handle the materials, labor, and documentation so you can focus on your family and your claim.
Roof Tarping
We cover damaged roof areas with heavy-duty polyethylene tarps, secured with lumber and screws. Tarps overlap the damage by at least 3 feet to ensure a watertight seal. This protects your interior from rain and debris.
Window and Door Board-Up
We cut and install 5/8-inch plywood over broken windows, doors, and other openings. Each panel is screwed into the framing for maximum security. We also secure any doors that can't be locked.
Structural Shoring
If fire or impact has weakened walls or roof supports, we install temporary shoring to prevent collapse. We use lumber and adjustable posts to stabilize the structure until permanent repairs can be made.
Debris Removal
We clear loose debris from the immediate area to reduce hazards and allow safe access. This includes broken glass, fallen branches, and charred materials. We leave the site safe and ready for the next phase.
Photo Documentation
We take detailed photos of all damage and the completed board-up and tarping. This documentation supports your insurance claim and provides a record of the work performed. You receive a copy for your files.
Service overview
Board-Up and Roof Tarping Services in west palm beach
Board-up and roof tarping is the first line of defense after a fire, hurricane, or any event that leaves your building open to the elements. We use plywood, lumber, and heavy-duty tarps to seal broken windows, doors, and roof damage. This stops rain from pouring in, keeps looters out, and buys you time to file an insurance claim and plan permanent repairs. Our crews work fast because every hour your property sits open, damage gets worse.
In west palm beach, the risk is real. Summer storms roll in off the Atlantic with little warning, and a roof fire can leave your home exposed to torrential rain within hours. We've secured everything from historic homes in El Cid to commercial buildings on Clematis Street. When you need emergency board-up after fire damage, we're the local crew that shows up with the right materials and gets it done.

The service timeline
Our Board-Up and Roof Tarping Process
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Emergency Call
You call our 24/7 line. We ask for your address, the extent of damage, and any safety concerns. Within minutes, we dispatch a crew to your west palm beach location. We arrive in fully stocked trucks with tarps, plywood, and tools ready to work.
On-Site Assessment
Our team walks the property with you. We identify all openings, roof damage, and structural risks. We use thermal imaging cameras to spot hidden hotspots and moisture meters to check for water intrusion. You get a clear explanation of what we'll do and why.
Roof Tarping
We cover damaged roof sections with heavy-duty polyethylene tarps, secured with lumber and screws. Tarps are sized to overlap the damage by at least 3 feet on all sides. This creates a watertight seal that holds up to Florida wind and rain.
Board-Up
We cut 5/8-inch plywood to fit every broken window, door, and opening. Each panel is screwed into the framing, not just nailed, for maximum security. We also install temporary locks or braces on doors that can't close. The goal is a secure, weather-tight envelope.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the property with you again. We check every tarp and board for tightness, take photos for your records and insurance, and give you a written summary of the work. You'll know exactly what was done and what to expect next.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Used to detect hidden hotspots and moisture behind walls after a fire. This helps us find damage that isn't visible to the naked eye.
Moisture Meters
We use these to measure water content in building materials. They tell us where water from firefighting has penetrated and if drying is needed.
Air Scrubbers
These machines filter airborne particles, including soot and smoke residue. We run them during and after board-up to improve air quality.
Ozone Generators
Ozone generators neutralize smoke odors at the molecular level. We use them after board-up to eliminate lingering smells.
Hydroxyl Generators
Hydroxyl generators are safe for occupied spaces and remove odors without ozone. We often use them in homes with sensitive occupants.
HEPA Vacuums
HEPA vacuums capture fine soot and dust particles. We use them to clean surfaces before and after board-up.
Drywall Saws and Pry Bars
These tools help us access hidden areas behind walls to check for fire damage and water intrusion. They allow precise cuts for inspection and repair.
