Emergency Board-Up and Roof Tarping
After a fire, storm, vehicle impact, or break-in, an open window, door, or roof leaves your property exposed to rain, wind, animals, and theft. Securing it quickly prevents more damage — and most insurance policies expect you to take reasonable steps to protect the property. Contractors in our network board up openings and tarp damaged roofs so your home or business is protected until repairs begin.

Worried About Cost or Insurance?
Straight answers to the questions people ask most before they call.
Will my insurance cover it?
Most property policies cover sudden and accidental damage — like a burst pipe, a failed water heater, or a fire. They often exclude damage from long-term leaks, neglect, or flooding from outside, which typically requires separate flood insurance. Check your policy or call your insurer to confirm.
Do I have to pay everything up front?
Contractors in our network offer a no-obligation estimate first. Many restoration contractors work directly with your insurance company and bill the claim, so you’re often responsible mainly for your deductible. Confirm payment terms with the contractor before work begins.
Should I call my insurance company or a contractor first?
Make the property safe and stop the damage first — most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Report the claim promptly. A restoration contractor can document moisture readings and damage, which helps support your claim.
Can I choose my own restoration contractor?
In most cases, yes — and it’s worth thinking about. Your insurer may suggest a contractor from its preferred-vendor program, but you’re generally free to choose who works on your property. Program contractors typically follow pricing and scope guidelines set by the insurance company, which can limit the work to what the program allows rather than everything your property needs. That’s why many property owners prefer an independent contractor who works for them and advocates for a complete, proper repair. Restore Your Property connects you with independent local contractors who work with every major insurance carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly should a damaged home be boarded up?
As soon as it’s safe. Open windows, doors, and roofs let in rain and wind and make a property easier to break into. Most insurance policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage.
Is emergency board-up covered by insurance?
Emergency measures to protect the property after covered damage are often reimbursed as part of the claim. Keep receipts and photos, and check your policy or ask your insurer.
Can I tarp my own roof?
Climbing onto a damaged roof is dangerous, especially when it’s wet or the structure may be weakened. A professional can install a properly secured tarp safely.
