Emergency Board-Up Services
An open building is an exposed building. Pro Max Restoration provides emergency board-up 24 hours a day to help secure properties after fire, storm damage, impact or break-in.
When a fire, storm, vehicle impact or break-in leaves a window, door or wall open, the loss does not stop there. Rain, wind, snow, animals and unauthorized entry all become new problems on top of the original damage — often overnight, and often while the owner is trying to arrange everything else.
Board-up is the fast, temporary step that closes the property back up. Pro Max Restoration provides emergency board-up around the clock so a damaged building is secured before the next weather event or the next night.
What We Secure
Window openings covered to help keep weather, animals and intruders out.
Entry points secured when a door or frame has been damaged or removed.
Holes created by fire or by firefighting access, including forced-entry damage.
Openings from fallen trees, wind, debris or vehicle impact.
Damaged glass, doors and frames covered so the property is not left open.
Secure coverage for damaged commercial glass, doors and openings.
Call for Board-Up When
- Fire has left the structure open
- Windows or glass doors are broken out
- A storm has opened a wall or roofline
- A vehicle has struck the building
- A break-in has damaged doors or glass
- The property will sit vacant while repairs are arranged
- Weather is coming and the building is exposed
- A commercial storefront needs to be secured overnight
Board-up is a temporary protective step, not the repair. It buys time so the building is not taking on additional damage while the restoration and reconstruction scope is being sorted out — and Pro Max Restoration can handle those phases too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you board up my property?
Our line is answered 24 hours a day and board-up is treated as an emergency call. We do not publish a guaranteed arrival window, because it depends on the property location and current conditions — call us and we will tell you what we can do for your situation.
Is board-up a permanent repair?
No. It is a temporary measure to secure and protect the property. The permanent fix is the repair or reconstruction that follows, which we also provide.
Do you board up commercial buildings?
Yes. We secure both residential and commercial properties, including storefronts and other commercial openings.
Should I call my insurance company first?
Securing the property to prevent further damage is generally a priority in a property loss. Notify your insurer as soon as you are able and check your policy's requirements. We can document the condition of the property and the work performed.
