As a business owner, you may face serious issues protecting your property after a natural or man-made disaster. When your business is forced to close due to water intrusion, fire, or another type of property damage, it may be left vulnerable not only to stormy weather, but also to vandalism, theft, and graffiti. It is during these times—as you fight to keep your business running—that emergency board-up services can prove the most useful.

Scenarios where board-up services may be essential include:

Board-up services serve to insulate and protect a building after a disaster—acting as a shield to prevent further damage.

Why Use Board Up Services for Your Business?

Proactively using board-up services not only protects your property, it can also have a positive impact on your insurance claim. Insurance companies often view these preventative measures favorably, as they demonstrate your commitment to minimizing damage. Failing to secure your property can, in some cases, result in reduced claim payouts or even a denial of coverage.

ATI Restoration has a strong relationship with the nation’s top insurance companies. They know that when their clients reach out to ATI, the property in question will be protected quickly and completely.

Protection From Fire & Water Damage

Fire can leave your property in a vulnerable state, with broken windows, weakened structures, and exposed interiors. Emergency board-up services can secure openings, preventing water damage from rain and other environmental factors to ensure that your property is stabilized and ready for the restoration process.

2

Preventative Measures From Severe Weather

Severe weather conditions can cause significant damage to your business, especially when windows and doors are compromised. Boarding up your property before a storm or immediately after damage occurs can prevent water and wind intrusion, reducing the risk of additional harm to the structure.

3

Protecting Against Vandalism & Theft

Unprotected properties are prime targets for vandals and thieves. When your business is temporarily closed, the last thing you need to suffer is a break-in or vandalism. Emergency board-up services offer a quick and effective solution to seal off entry points, deter potential criminals, and preserve your property.

Professional Board-Up Services vs. DIY Solutions

Following a disaster, it might seem more cost-effective to handle board-up tasks on your own. However, while the DIY approach can save you a few bucks upfront, it can also come with significant risks that may lead to higher costs and larger headaches down the line.

Professional board-up services offer numerous advantages, far outweighing any potential cost benefit of doing the project yourself. These include:

Expertise & Materials

One of the primary benefits of hiring a restoration company for board-up services is the expertise that skilled technicians bring to the table. Securing a commercial property requires more than simply nailing a board over broken windows. Professionals are trained to assess the specific vulnerabilities of your building, taking into account factors such as structural integrity, potential entry points, and the demands of the local environment.

Professional board-up services are completed with high-quality, durable materials—such as reinforced plywood, metal sheeting, and specialized polycarbonate panels—which are designed to withstand harsh conditions. Installed with industry best practices, these barriers ensure a tight, secure fit, and minimize the risk of wind, rain, and intruders. Many business owners lack the tools, experience, and knowledge to perform work of a similar quality.

Rapid Response

The faster your property is secured after a disaster, the less damage it will sustain and the sooner you can begin the process of recovery. Professional board-up services are available 24/7/365, ensuring your property is quickly sealed and protected, and helping to avoid additional issues.

Attempting to handle these situations on your own can lead to delays in sourcing materials, gathering tools, and figuring out the best approach to take. A professional restoration company will arrive on the scene equipped with everything they need to secure your building quickly and efficiently.

Long-Term Benefits

The DIY approach is often temporary, producing fixes that need to be revisited and repaired over time. Inadequate materials, improper installation, and a lack of thoroughness can leave your property exposed to further damage, leading to costly repairs and potential insurance complications.

When you rely on experienced professionals, you help to ensure your property is secured to the highest standards. This not only reduces the likelihood of additional damage but also helps in preserving the structural integrity of the building over time. This can save you money in the long run by preventing small issues from escalating into major problems that require extensive repairs.

Another long-term benefit is the peace of mind that comes with knowing your property is protected by experts. You can rest assured that your business is secured according to best practices, freeing you to focus on the more pressing issues of recovering day-to-day operations.
