Board-up services provide temporary protection when windows, doors, walls, or other openings are damaged. Covering exposed areas helps keep out rain, wind, debris, and unauthorized entry until permanent repairs can be completed.
What the Job Involves
The damaged opening is inspected and measured before appropriate plywood or other temporary materials are cut and secured. Broken glass and loose debris may be cleared when it can be done safely.
Signs You Need It
- Broken windows
- Damaged doors
- Open wall sections
- Storm-damaged exterior areas
- Fallen tree impact
- Forced or accidental property damage
- Exposed interior areas
How the Work Goes
The technician assesses the opening and checks for immediate hazards. Appropriate boards are measured and cut, then securely fastened over the damaged area. Multiple openings may require separate boards and additional supports.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on the number and size of openings, materials required, accessibility, property height, amount of damage, and installation difficulty. Large structural openings may require additional temporary stabilization.
Board-up work is a temporary protective measure and does not replace permanent repairs. For board-up services in South Portland, ME, call Restore Pro at (951) 433-4147.
