Someone from the fire department is telling you that the house needs to be boarded up now to minimize damage and prevent injuries to people. Who do you call in the middle of the night to perform emergency board up services?

There are a number of contractors both local and nationwide that offer emergency board up services. Some offer to respond within an hour after the homeowner or business owner calls. There are companies that charge the insurance company only, and take no money from the victims. Always be sure to ask first.

The services they provide are for damage mitigation which means that by covering the hole(s) in the roof, boarding up the windows and doors the structure and property inside are protected from the elements. They’re also protected from vandals or looters. And people are protected from the dangerous building. (Curiosity is a powerful attractant to some individuals.)

Most companies work closely with insurance companies to help provide a quicker pay out, thus helping the homeowner or business owner get on their feet sooner. In addition, while they might not do the repair work on the structure themselves, they may coordinate with other contractors to repair the house or building.

They also reduce the likelihood that the victim would hire a solicitor from the street. These people often show up at fires and other disasters, handing out cards for lawyers offices and guaranteeing a “large and fast” payout from the victim’s insurance company. They often ask for large sums of money for retainers, take the insurance money and disappear, leaving the victim with a damaged building, no home, no money. Hiring legitimate emergency board up services contractors will save many people from con artists such as these.
