Can you respond at night?

Yes. Our dispatch line takes calls 24/7 and crews are deployed as conditions allow.

Do you work with retail and commercial property?

Yes. We regularly secure storefronts, office entries, and multifamily access points.

Will the board-up hold until permanent repairs?

Yes. Crews install board-up to protect the opening until glass, doors, or frames can be permanently restored.

Can you document the damage for insurance?

Yes. We document visible damage, secured openings, and site conditions for owners, managers, and adjusters to support the claim file. We are restoration contractors, not public adjusters.

Break-In & Vandalism

Break-In & Vandalism Board-Up

After a break-in or vandalism event, the property needs to be re-secured quickly to prevent further loss. We board damaged doors, windows, and entry points and document conditions for owners and adjusters.
