Tucson Board Up Experts provides emergency board up services throughout Tucson for homeowners, landlords and businesses. We secure broken windows, garage door openings and skylights after storms, break-ins, vehicle impacts or fires. From a single window to a full storefront, we cover every opening with sturdy plywood to keep out rain, dust, intruders and further damage. Contact us for a free quote today.

If someone broke in through a window or door
A smashed slider or kicked-in door leaves your house open until replacement glass or a new frame arrives, and ordering one often takes a week or more. We bolt plywood through to an interior brace, so it can't be pried off the way a nailed sheet can. Book the board-up tonight rather than waiting on the glass shop, because an open window invites a second visit.

If a storm blew out windows or dropped a tree
Wind and impact damage usually means several broken windows at once, plus a hole in the roof or wall where rain is getting in. We board the windows, then tarp and batten down the torn roof so water stops reaching your insulation and drywall. Schedule the board-up and tarp for the same visit, because every hour of rain soaks more of the ceiling below.

If there's been a fire in the building
Burned-out windows and doors forced open by firefighters leave the structure exposed to weather and to anyone who wanders in. Charred framing often won't hold a screw, so we anchor boards back to sound wood or brace them from inside. Once the fire department releases the scene, call us to secure every opening before the first night.

If the property is vacant or between tenants
With nobody around to notice a broken pane, an empty house or rental unit can sit open for days before anyone finds out. We fit exterior-grade plywood inside the frame of each ground-floor window and through-bolt it, which holds up for weeks while you line up repairs. Plan on a sturdier long-term board-up instead of a nail-on sheet, since it may stay in place for a month or more.

If your storefront glass broke and you need to open
A shattered display window shuts your business down until it's covered, and full-size storefront glass often takes days to fabricate. We cut panels to the frame and fasten them so the entry door still locks and swings normally. Get the opening boarded overnight so you can open on schedule, then have the glazier measure for the replacement.

How Much Does Emergency Board Up Cost?
Emergency board-up typically costs $285 to $2,450 per call-out, and the number of openings to cover drives most of that range. Securing one kicked-in door costs far less than boarding up a storefront or a house with every ground-floor window blown out. After-hours dispatch, oversized panels cut to fit custom frames, and roof tarping on the same visit all push the bill toward the high end.
