Emergency Board-Up Services San Francisco Bay Area
Emergency board-up and tarping services for fire-damaged, storm-damaged, and vandalized properties across the San Francisco Bay Area. 24/7 response. Call (415) 529-5637.
Emergency board-up is often the first critical step after a fire, storm, or other property damage event. An unsecured structure is exposed to weather, vandalism, and theft — and creates significant liability for the property owner. Allied Restoration Company provides 24/7 emergency board-up and tarping services across the San Francisco Bay Area, protecting your property within hours of the loss event while restoration planning begins.
Board-Up & Emergency Stabilization Services
Residential and commercial windows, doors, and storefronts secured with structural plywood. Fire-rated boarding available for commercial properties. All openings sealed to prevent weather infiltration and unauthorized access.
Heavy-duty polyethylene tarps secured over fire-damaged, storm-damaged, or structurally compromised roof areas. Prevents rain infiltration that would compound interior damage. Commercial tarp systems for large roof areas.
Temporary shoring and bracing of structurally compromised elements. Coordination with structural engineers for complex stabilization requirements. Essential for fire and earthquake-damaged buildings before restoration work begins.
Temporary fencing installation for large commercial or multi-unit residential loss sites. Prevents unauthorized entry, reduces liability, and preserves the evidence necessary for insurance documentation.
PG&E utility disconnection coordination for fire-damaged properties. Gas shutoff verification. Coordination with San Francisco DBI (Department of Building Inspection) for red-tagged or yellow-tagged structures.
Full photographic documentation of the structure before and after board-up. Board-up costs are covered under most property insurance policies as "protective safeguard" expenses. Allied Restoration provides documentation in Xactimate format.
