Emergency Board-Up Services for Homes and Businesses in Colorado
in Colorado
When fire, storms, or structural damage leave your property exposed, board-up services help secure windows, doors, and vulnerable entry points to reduce the risk of further loss while restoration plans are put in place.
What Are Board-Up Services
Board-up services are an emergency step designed to protect a structure - not a full repair. When windows, doors, or parts of the building envelope are damaged, securing openings helps reduce exposure to weather, unauthorized entry, and additional damage while the next phase of restoration is coordinated.
In many cases, the goal is to stabilize the situation quickly and give you breathing room. A properly secured property can help protect valuables, reduce safety and liability risks, and limit secondary damage like wind-driven rain, debris intrusion, or temperature exposure. If you would like to learn more about our team and how we support emergency recovery, visit HRS Restoration Services.
Once the structure is secured, we can help outline the next steps - whether that is fire and smoke restoration, storm damage recovery, or water mitigation if moisture has entered the space.

How Board-Up Protects Your Property
When a building is exposed, the risk is not just the original damage - it is what can happen next. Prompt board-up helps create a safer, more controlled environment and can reduce the chance of secondary loss while restoration and repair plans move forward.
Board-up can help:
- Reduce weather intrusion by limiting exposure to wind, rain, debris, and temperature extremes.
- Deter unauthorized entry by securing common access points after windows or doors are compromised.
- Support safety and liability control by limiting access to damaged areas that may be hazardous.
- Minimize secondary damage that can occur while waiting for repairs, materials, or inspections.
- Improve documentation clarity by establishing what was secured and when, which can be helpful during the recovery process.
Once the property is protected, the focus shifts to restoring the structure - whether that involves fire and smoke damage restoration or storm damage restoration.

How fast can you respond for emergency board-up?
Response time depends on conditions and call volume, but our team is available 24/7 to help secure exposed openings as quickly as possible. If the situation is urgent, calling is the fastest way to get help dispatched.
What does a board-up service typically include?
Board-up commonly includes securing damaged windows and doors, protecting exposed entry points, and adding temporary covering when needed to reduce weather intrusion and unauthorized access.
Do you provide board up after a fire?
Yes. After a fire, board-up is often an important first step to secure broken windows, doors, or exposed areas while the next phase of restoration is planned.
Do you provide board up after a storm or hail damage?
Yes. Storms can expose the structure through broken glass or compromised exterior areas. Temporary securing can help reduce secondary damage from wind-driven rain and debris.
Will board-up prevent theft or vandalism?
Board-up can help deter unauthorized entry by reducing obvious access points, but it is not a guarantee. The goal is to improve security and reduce exposure while repairs move forward.
Is board-up the same as repairing windows or doors?
No. Board-up is temporary protection intended to secure the property. Permanent repairs are handled as part of the restoration and reconstruction process.
Can you help with insurance documentation?
We can document what areas were secured and when, which can be helpful during recovery and claim coordination. Coverage and claim decisions depend on the policy and carrier.
What should I do before your team arrives?
If it is safe, avoid entering unstable areas, keep people away from damaged openings, and secure valuables if accessible. If there are safety concerns such as structural instability, wait for professional guidance and emergency responders if needed.
