Emergency Board-Up

After a fire, a storm, a break-in, or a vehicle hitting your building, the damage is only half the problem. An open window, a broken door, or a hole in the roof leaves your property exposed to rain, wind, theft, and animals until it is secured. ZGreen Restoration provides 24/7 emergency board-up and roof tarping for homes and businesses in Campbell and throughout the San Jose area. Call (408) 212-6034 and we will send a crew to secure the property.

What Emergency Board-Up Involves

Board-up is the first step in protecting a damaged property. Broken windows and doors are covered with plywood cut to fit and fastened securely, damaged roof areas are covered with heavy-duty tarps, and any other openings are sealed so weather and intruders stay out. The goal is to stop the damage from getting worse while you sort out insurance and repairs.

Board-up also matters for your insurance claim. Most homeowners and commercial policies expect property owners to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss. Securing the property quickly, and documenting it, helps protect your claim. It also keeps a fire or storm loss from turning into a water damage or mold problem the next time it rains.

When You Need Board-Up Service

  • After a fire: firefighters often break windows and cut openings in the roof to vent smoke and heat. Those openings need to be closed up right away. See our fire damage restoration service for the full recovery process.
  • After a storm: fallen trees and high winds during winter storms can break windows and damage roofs.
  • After a break-in or vandalism: a broken door or window needs to be secured before the property can be left unattended.
  • After a vehicle impact: a car into a wall, garage door, or storefront can leave a large opening and structural damage.

Our Emergency Board-Up Process

Step 1: Rapid Response

We answer 24/7. Tell us what happened and where, and we dispatch a crew with plywood, tarps, and tools.

Step 2: Safety Check and Documentation

Before we start, we check the area for hazards and photograph the damage to document the property’s condition for your insurance company.

Step 3: Securing Openings

Windows, doors, and other openings are boarded with plywood cut to size and fastened securely. We take care not to cause additional damage to frames and siding.

Step 4: Roof Tarping

Damaged roof areas are covered with heavy-duty tarps and secured to keep rain out until permanent repairs can be made.

Step 5: Next Steps

Once the property is secure, we can assess the rest of the damage and walk you through water removal, cleanup, and reconstruction, so one team handles the project from start to finish.
