    What We Need From You:

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Quick answers for Utah County and Salt Lake County—what to do first, how we secure the property, and how documentation works when insurance is involved.

    We’re available 24/7/365 and prioritize emergency board-up and tarping dispatch. Response time depends on location and current conditions, but we’ll confirm an ETA and immediate next steps on the phone.

    Any time windows, doors, or exterior openings are compromised—after a break-in, storm damage, or fire. Board-up helps reduce weather intrusion and unauthorized access while next steps are coordinated.

    If shingles are missing, decking is exposed, or water is getting in, tarping creates a temporary barrier to limit additional intrusion until permanent repairs can be scheduled.

    No—tarping is a temporary protective measure. We’ll document conditions, secure the area, and help coordinate the repair plan that follows.

    Yes. We work with insurance-related projects regularly and support the process with photo documentation, moisture readings, and clear notes. If you already filed a claim, have your claim number ready.

    Only remove items that are unsafe or creating an immediate hazard, and take photos first. Avoid major cleanup or tear-out until the damage is documented and a plan is set.

    Sometimes. For window/door board-up we may only need exterior access, but interior access helps us document impacts, confirm safety concerns, and protect vulnerable areas.

    If it’s safe, keep people and pets away from the damaged area, move valuables out of the weather path, and take a few photos. Avoid climbing on the roof or entering unstable areas.

    It’s meant to reduce exposure and stabilize conditions, but outcomes depend on weather severity and site conditions. We install protection carefully and document what was secured.

    We can coordinate the next steps—temporary protection, documentation, and repair planning—so the job stays organized from emergency response through restoration.
