The Data

Why This Matters

Unsecured property after damage leads to: water intrusion causing mold and structural damage, vandalism and theft, animal entry, and potential insurance claim denial. Most insurance policies require you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage — board-up and tarping fulfills this obligation.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Board-Up

How quickly can you board up my property?

Resto Experts responds within 60 minutes throughout the Memphis metro area, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our emergency crews carry board-up materials and tarps so we can secure your property immediately upon arrival.

Does insurance require board-up after damage?

Most insurance policies require policyholders to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Failing to secure your property after damage could result in denied claims for secondary damage. Board-up and tarping costs are typically reimbursed as part of your insurance claim.

How much does emergency board-up cost?

Emergency board-up ranges from $100-$250 per window and $300-$1,500 for roof tarping. Full property board-up typically costs $500-$3,000. These costs are usually covered by your insurance as part of the mitigation requirement.

What materials are used for emergency board-up?

Resto Experts uses 3/4-inch plywood cut to fit window and door openings, secured with exterior-rated screws to minimize structural damage to frames. Large openings receive structural bracing. Roof tarping uses 6-mil or heavier polyethylene tarps with battens and fasteners rated for Memphis wind conditions. All materials and installation are documented with photos before and after for your insurance claim.

How long can emergency board-up and tarping stay in place?

Board-up is a temporary measure designed to hold until permanent repairs begin — typically 2 to 8 weeks for most insurance claims. Properly installed tarps can last 30 to 90 days, though Memphis weather warrants earlier inspection after significant rain or wind. If the claims or repair timeline extends beyond 90 days, Resto Experts will reassess and re-secure as needed. We coordinate directly with your adjuster to ensure your property stays protected throughout the entire process.
