Emergency Board-Up & Roof Tarping in Tacoma, WA

Why the first few hours matter

An unsecured building has nothing to stop the next rain band, and damage that starts at one broken window spreads into floors, ceilings and belongings. Board-up and tarping are emergency mitigation, so we dispatch immediately, 24 hours a day, with the materials needed for the openings on the truck.

How the securing work is done

Openings are measured and covered with cut plywood fastened to the framing, and roof breaches are covered with heavy-duty, wind-rated tarps fastened so wind cannot peel them loose. Where framing or a roof structure has been damaged, we shore or brace it before anyone works underneath.

Break-ins, vandalism and fire damage

The same service covers vandalism, break-ins and fire-damaged buildings, including protection for doors and windows that must be replaced later, temporary perimeter fencing where a site is exposed, and a lock-up so the property can be left safely.

What happens after the property is secure

Tarping and boarding are temporary measures that stop the loss from getting worse. We document what was secured and why, then move straight into water extraction, drying or reconstruction with the same crew, so the repair does not wait on another company.

Board-Up & Tarping in Tacoma: local conditions

Tacoma sits on Commencement Bay, with the port and tideflats on the water and steep residential hills climbing up behind them. The housing is old — a large share of the North End, Stadium District and Proctor homes date to the early 1900s — while the tideflats hold warehouses and light industry on flat ground close to the water table. For board-up & tarping work in Tacoma, the condition we plan around most is aging supply and drain lines.
