The Emergency Board-Ups We Perform Most in Gilbert

From monsoon damage to post-fire vulnerabilities, our board-up expertise prevents secondary damage while maintaining code compliance and insurance requirements throughout the Valley.

Storm and Wind Damage Security

Monsoon microbursts create widespread damage across Gilbert neighborhoods – those 70+ mph winds shatter windows, rip off doors, and tear holes in roofs. We’ve boarded hundreds of properties after summer storms when flying debris turns windows into openings. Desert dust storms following initial damage infiltrate through any gap. Our emergency crews work to secure properties before additional storms hit. Proper board-up prevents rain intrusion that causes mold and structural damage.

Fire Damage Board-Up

Fire-damaged properties need immediate securing – those blown-out windows and compromised doors invite weather, vandals, and liability issues. We board-up after structure fires where windows shattered from heat, firefighters breached entry points, and roof ventilation holes expose interiors. Gilbert’s post-fire properties face unique risks – our extreme heat warps temporary coverings while monsoons test every seal.

How We Handle Board-Up Services

Flow State Restoration provides code-compliant board-up solutions to meet Gilbert’s requirements for safety and permits.

Step 1: Damage Assessment

We evaluate all compromised openings determining appropriate securing methods. Structural stability gets verified before boarding – unsafe conditions require additional support. Photo documentation captures pre-board conditions for insurance.

Step 2: Professional Installation

We measure all fire-damaged windows, doors, and structural openings while preparing appropriate board-up materials Measurements ensure materials cut on-site fit perfectly first time. Carriage bolts secure boards from inside preventing easy removal.

Step 3: Monitoring

Lock changes maintain security as needed during restoration. Coordination with restoration crews ensures timely removal when repairs begin. Most emergency board-ups complete within 2-4 hours with ongoing maintenance as needed through project completion.

Frequently Asked Questions About Board-Up Services in Gilbert

Does insurance cover board-up services?

Insurance companies not only cover board-up – they expect you to do it immediately. It falls under “mitigation,” which means preventing additional damage. Failing to board up can actually void coverage for any secondary damage. Take pictures of the board-up work, keep every receipt, and email them to your adjuster right away. This expense gets reimbursed pretty quickly compared to other claim elements.

Why are board-up services important?

Gilbert city code gives you 24 hours to secure fire-damaged buildings or face fines. But beyond legal and insurance requirements, proper board-up protects your neighbors too – loose debris becomes dangerous projectiles in our desert windstorms.

Who provides board-up services?

Full-service restoration companies usually handle board-up as part of their emergency response. Some smaller operators specialize only in board-up and work as subcontractors. The key is finding someone who responds immediately and carries proper liability insurance – the last thing you need is a worker getting hurt on your property. Get proof of insurance before they start hammering. Local Gilbert companies know our weather patterns and building codes better than national chains.
