Emergency Board-Up Services

Arrange board-up services in Toronto

Board-up services in Toronto provide temporary protection for damaged windows and doors after a fire, storm or break-in. First, keep people away from loose glass and unstable surfaces. Call 416-400-3076 with the address and the damage you can describe safely.

Tell us whether occupants still need access and who can approve the work. Then we can discuss the opening, site conditions and availability. Temporary protection helps manage exposure while a lasting repair is arranged.

Checks before temporary protection

The size of the opening, frame condition and height affect the work. Therefore, share photos only when you can take them safely. Do not climb onto a damaged roof or enter an unsafe building to measure it.

Follow Ontario’s flood safety advice when water is also involved. If the site presents immediate danger, contact emergency services. Board-up work does not establish that the rest of a damaged building is safe.

Board-up services in Toronto: next steps

Window Board-Up Services

First, assess the frame and broken opening. Loose glass and damaged supports need care before a panel can be fitted.

Door Protection

Board-up work can protect an opening after a door is damaged. Therefore, describe its location and whether it is also a required exit.

Weather Exposure

Wind and rain may worsen an open loss. Choose temporary protection to suit the structure and expected conditions.

Safe Entry

If people still use the premises, discuss access first. Also keep escape routes clear of tools, panels and debris.

Fire Cleanup

Once authorities allow entry, fire restoration can address soot, heat and firefighting water inside the property.

Water Cleanup

If rain has entered, the interior may need water removal and drying. A covered opening alone will not dry wet materials.

Share the address, type of opening and safe access details. Also mention any occupants.

Can I clear loose glass myself?

Keep away from the hazard and discuss safe handling with the team.

Who decides whether insurance pays?

Your insurer decides coverage. Keep records of damage and temporary work.
