Emergency Board-Up & Tarping Services
When windows break or a roof is exposed, the priority is simple: secure the opening, prevent weather intrusion, and document conditions so repairs (and insurance, if involved) can move forward with clarity. NDR responds 24/7 across Utah County and Salt Lake County—call us first so we can document and help you navigate the claim.
Emergency Board-Up
We board broken windows, doors, and exposed entry points to reduce unauthorized access and additional damage while the next steps are planned.
Roof Tarping & Temporary Covers
We install tarps and temporary coverings to limit water intrusion after wind, hail, tree impact, or fire-related openings—buying time for proper repairs.
Documentation + Repair Coordination
We document affected areas with photos and notes, then coordinate the handoff to repairs—so you’re not stuck between emergency work and reconstruction.
Common Emergency Board-Up & Tarping Situations We Handle
Whether it’s a broken window after a break-in or a roof opening after wind damage, the priority is the same: secure the structure, reduce weather exposure, and document conditions clearly. NDR responds 24/7 across Utah County and Salt Lake County—call us first so we can document and help you navigate the claim if insurance is involved.
- Broken Windows & Forced Entry
- Roof Damage & Missing Shingles
- Fire-Damaged Openings & Vents
Water damage often spreads beyond what you can see. We use moisture mapping and daily readings to find hidden moisture in walls, floors, and insulation—then verify dry-out before repairs begin.
In an emergency: prioritize safety first.
Do This
- Make sure everyone is safe first and keep kids/pets away from the damaged area.
- Stay clear of downed lines or sparking outlets—if you suspect electrical danger, wait for the utility company.
- If it’s safe, shut off water if rain is entering through a roof opening or broken window.
- Take a few quick photos/video of openings, broken glass, and interior exposure—call us first so we can document and help you navigate the claim.
- Close interior doors to limit wind, dust, and moisture spreading into other rooms.
- Move valuables away from the opening and place a towel/blanket barrier under the edge if water is tracking in.
- Cover the opening temporarily (only if safe) with plastic sheeting and painter’s tape until a crew arrives.
- Call NDR for emergency board-up & tarping so the property can be secured and protected from weather.
Don't Do This
- Don’t climb on a wet, steep, or damaged roof—falls happen fast; leave tarping to trained crews.
- Don’t touch hanging wires, panels, or scorched outlets—assume power may still be live.
- Don’t move structural debris (rafters, trusses, sagging sections) that could shift or collapse.
- Don’t tape a tarp with duct tape alone—it usually fails in wind and can trap water where you don’t want it.
- Don’t nail or screw into unknown areas (hidden wiring/plumbing) to “secure” a cover.
- Don’t leave broken glass or sharp debris exposed—block access and mark hazards until cleanup is safe.
- Don’t throw away damaged materials/contents before documentation—keep items staged until photos are captured.
- Don’t wait overnight if the home is exposed—wind and moisture can expand the affected area quickly.

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.
