Emergency Board-Up Services

What We Do
An Open Building Gets Worse by the Hour
After a fire, storm, or break-in, your property has openings it was never meant to have — burned-through roofs, blown-out windows, forced doors. Until they're sealed, every hour adds risk:rain and snow soaking interiors, animals and intruders getting in, and an insurance carrier asking why the damage kept growing after the original loss.
Keystone's board-up crews respond around the clock with plywood, framing lumber, heavy-duty tarps, and the hardware to secure any opening — residential or commercial. We're typically on-site within 45 minutes anywhere on the Wasatch Front.
Done right, not just done fast
A proper board-up holds for weeks, not days. Window and door openings get fitted plywood anchored to framing — not screwed haphazardly into siding. Roof openings get tarps battened to structural members so canyon winds can't peel them. Where security matters (vacant properties, commercial storefronts), we install lockable access so adjusters and crews can get in while everyone else stays out.
The first step of the restoration, not a separate job
Board-up is usually hour one of a bigger recovery. Because Keystone also handles water mitigation, smoke cleanup, and full reconstruction, the crew that seals your building tonight feeds straight into the team that restores it — one company, one claim, no gaps.

Direct Insurance Billing
We Handle Your Insurance, Start to Finish
Emergency board-up is classic covered mitigation — your policy requires you to prevent further damage after a loss, and pays for the reasonable cost of doing it. Keystone photographs each opening, documents the securing work, and bills your carrier directly as part of the overall claim.
One call to (801) 948-2501 and the paperwork is our problem, not yours.
Straight Answers
Board-Up Questions, Answered
How fast can you board up my property?
Keystone responds 24/7 and is typically on-site within 45 minutes across Salt Lake, Utah, and Davis Counties. Most residential board-ups — windows, doors, and roof tarping — are completed within a few hours of arrival, any time of day or night.
Why does a damaged property need to be boarded up immediately?
Three reasons: weather, intrusion, and your insurance policy. An open structure takes on rain and snow damage fast, attracts theft and vandalism, and nearly every policy requires the owner to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss. Prompt board-up protects the property and the claim.
Is emergency board-up covered by insurance?
Yes — board-up and tarping after a covered loss are reimbursable as emergency mitigation under virtually all homeowners and commercial policies. Keystone documents the openings secured and bills your carrier directly as part of the claim.
Do you board up after break-ins and storms too, or just fires?
All of the above. We secure properties after fires, wind and hail storms, fallen trees, vehicle impacts, and break-ins — any event that leaves a structure open. If restoration work follows, the same company that secured your property handles the repairs.
