When your home or business in Jacksonville experiences storm damage, break-ins, vandalism, or any event that compromises your property’s safety, securing exposed openings is critical. Emergency board-up services are about more than simply placing plywood over a broken window—they’re about restoring safety, preserving property value, and giving you peace of mind until permanent repairs can begin.
Jacksonville’s weather can swing from intense thunderstorms to rare tropical storms, all in a matter of days. When windows get shattered, doors break during break-ins, or roofs blow off in high winds, your property is at serious risk. Quick board-up services help prevent water damage, reduce theft risks, keep pests out, and maintain the structural safety of your building. Timely action also helps you remain in compliance with your insurance policy.
Locations including Riverside, San Marco, Arlington, Mandarin, and Jacksonville Beach have experienced damage requiring emergency protection. Our teams arrive quickly, often within an hour, with the tools and materials needed to safeguard your space.

As soon as you call, a trained technician is dispatched to your location anywhere in the area. Whether you’re in Orange Park or Baldwin, the goal is to reach your property quickly and carry out a thorough inspection.
Shattered windows, broken doors, or torn roof segments get covered with durable plywood. Teams precisely measure and cut to ensure a snug fit. Each board is securely fastened to withstand wind gusts, debris, or potential intruders.
In addition to boarding, technicians apply sealant around the edges to block rain or moisture. That’s especially important after heavy storms in coastal neighborhoods, where even a small leak can lead to mold, rot, or electrical risks.

Proper documentation supports your insurance claim. You receive a detailed report with date-stamped photos of the damage before and after boarding, along with a clear summary of services performed.
Once temporary protection is in place, coordination begins with roofers, glass repair specialists, remodelers, or your insurance adjuster. Because we stay involved with all restoration steps, you don’t have to manage multiple contractors. Whether you’re in Mandarin, San Marco, or the beachside communities, the process stays smooth and stress-free.
When permanent repairs are finished, professionals carefully remove the boards. They leave your property clean and ready to welcome back normal life.
Many companies offer board-up services, but not all are prepared to handle the unique challenges of emergency situations. Our difference lies in speed, experience, and respect for your property.
We operate 24/7 and serve neighborhoods across the region. Our teams know local building codes, weather patterns, and permit rules, so nothing slows us down. Every technician is trained, equipped, and focused on completing the job efficiently and thoroughly.
We also prioritize clear communication. Before we begin, we explain what will be done and give you a transparent quote. When the job is finished, we provide all documentation needed for your records or insurance provider. If you need follow-up services—from roofers to remodelers—we can recommend trusted local professionals to get your property fully restored.
Every week, we respond to emergencies in areas like Avondale, Southside, and Westside. Board-up is needed after various events, including storms, fires, break-ins, accidents, and even fallen trees. These incidents often leave glass broken, walls punctured, or roofs compromised, leaving your property open to more damage.
Without board-up services, moisture can get inside walls, wiring may be exposed, and intruders can gain easy access. What starts as a small problem can quickly become a costly repair. Our team steps in before that happens, limiting the damage and protecting what matters most.
Most emergency board-up jobs involve insurance claims. We help by providing everything your insurance provider needs to process your case. This includes detailed inspection notes, photos before and after, a list of materials used, labor documentation, and a formal invoice. This paperwork helps your claim move faster and reduces the chances of disputes or delays.
We also speak directly with your adjuster if requested. This saves you time and ensures your claim includes all the necessary details. Whether your provider is national or regional, we understand the information they look for and how to present it.
