Broken glass or broken door frames can make you more susceptible to vandalism if your property has already been attacked. Our skilled boarding-up crew will promptly evaluate the damage and high-risk locations and secure your property.
Weather damage
Unexpected property damage is frequently caused by weather-related events, such as storms, strong winds, or flying debris that can shatter glass or damage doors. Boarding up is a strong, short-term solution to prevent more damage.
Accidental damage
Trespassers frequently target vacant residences, businesses, or retail establishments. In these situations, it is strongly advised to board up the property to keep out unwelcomed guests and lower damage risk.
Empty properties
Empty buildings are a magnet for trespassers, squatters, and vandals. While they don’t necessarily steal anything, occupying somebody else’s property without their permission is hardly legal. Boarding up protects your property and also keeps away informal settlers or vandals.
