Emergency board-up & roof tarping in King County

Request a callback

After a fire, a tree falls through the roof, or a vehicle hits the house, the structure is open to rain, wind, vandals, and animals. King County doesn't wait - the next Pacific front rolls in within hours. Emergency board-up and tarping is the first mitigation step: secure the envelope so the real repair can happen on your timeline, not the weather's.

What a visit covers

• Plywood boarding over broken windows, doors, garage doors, and wall openings
• Roof tarping with reinforced poly and furring strips - not blue tarps that shred in the first gust
• Shrink-wrap encapsulation for large openings or total roof loss
• Temporary shoring if structural stability is compromised
• Documentation (photos, video) for the insurance claim

When it's a bigger problem

A single broken window is a 30-minute board-up. A kitchen fire that blew out two windows and charred the roof deck needs full tarping plus structural assessment. A tree through the ridge beam needs shoring before anyone climbs the roof. The crew that calls you back brings the right materials (plywood, poly, strapping, lumber) and the manpower to do it fast - often within 60 minutes of dispatch.

What it costs

Board-up is priced per opening (window/door) plus materials. Roof tarping is per square foot of roof area covered. Both are "emergency mitigation" line items covered by virtually all property policies. The crew invoices insurance directly and the cost is typically a fraction of the subsequent repair claim.
