Board Up & Tarping
Secure Your Property Now

Board-up and tarping is the process of securing a property immediately after it has been damaged by fire, storm, vandalism, or any event that leaves the structure exposed. When windows are broken, roofs are compromised, or walls are breached, the building is vulnerable to weather, animals, theft, and further structural deterioration. Board-up and tarping stops that exposure quickly so the property is protected while restoration work is planned.

Most insurance policies require the property owner to take reasonable steps to prevent additional damage after a loss. Failing to secure the building can result in denied claims for secondary damage. This is why board-up and tarping is often the very first step in the restoration process, sometimes within hours of the initial event.

Five Star Restoration provides emergency board-up and tarping services 24 hours a day. Our crews arrive with plywood, fasteners, heavy duty tarps, and the tools needed to secure openings of any size. We board up broken windows and doors, tarp damaged roof sections, and brace compromised structural areas to prevent collapse or further exposure. Every job is documented with photos and measurements to support the insurance claims process. This service is available as a standalone emergency response or as the first phase of a full restoration project.
