CIPCO Boarding FAQ's
An emergency board-up service involves securing a property that has been damaged by fire, flood, vandalism, or a natural disaster. Our team installs heavy-duty plywood or other materials over broken windows, doors, or damaged roofs to prevent further damage from weather, theft, or unauthorized entry, ensuring the property is safe and secure until permanent repairs can be made.
No your insurance company will completely take care of the cost.
No, you should call us immediately. Preventing further damage is crucial for your insurance claim. Most insurance policies require property owners to take reasonable steps to protect their property after a loss. Our work is documented and we can work directly with your adjuster to streamline the process.
Yes, for emergency services only, outside of an emergency regular business hours.
Yes, absolutely. As noted on our website, we handle both residential and commercial boarding. We are equipped to secure properties of all sizes, from single-family homes to large retail centers, multi-tenant buildings, and industrial facilities.
Not necessarily. While it is helpful to have someone on-site to provide access, we can often work with a property manager, insurance adjuster, or contractor. In many cases, especially with fires or police incidents, the property may already be under a “hold” order, and we can coordinate entry with the responsible party over the phone.
Your safety is paramount. If it is safe to do so, ensure that all people and pets are out of the building. Do not re-enter a fire-damaged or structurally compromised building. Wait for our professionals to perform a thorough and secure board-up.
In situations where law enforcement or the fire marshal has secured the scene, we will coordinate with them to gain access as soon as they release the property. We monitor these situations closely and are typically among the first vendors allowed on-site once the hold is lifted, ensuring your property is secured without any delay or conflict with official protocols.
We work directly with your insurance company on your behalf. After we complete the board-up, we provide detailed documentation, including photos and itemized invoices, which we can send directly to your adjuster. This helps streamline the claims process so you don’t have to act as the middleman during a stressful time.
Absolutely. Vacant properties, construction sites, and foreclosed homes are especially vulnerable to vandalism, theft, and weather damage. We provide board-up services for property managers, real estate agents, developers, and investors to secure unoccupied structures and protect their investment until permanent repairs or construction is completed.
