Comprehensive Emergency Boarding & Temporary Repair Services
From broken windows after a break-in to roof tarping after a storm, we have the crew, materials, and expertise to protect your property within hours of your call.
Window & Door Board-Up
Broken windows and damaged doors leave your property open to weather, theft, and liability. We install heavy-duty OSB or plywood boarding over any size opening, providing immediate security and weatherproofing after vandalism, fire, or storm damage.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Storm-damaged, fire-damaged, or structurally compromised roofs need immediate protection. Our team installs industrial-grade roof tarps that prevent water intrusion and further structural damage while permanent roof repair or replacement is arranged.
Structural Shoring & Stabilization
Compromised walls, floors, and load-bearing elements require immediate stabilization to prevent collapse. Our licensed construction team deploys temporary shoring and bracing to stabilize structures safely, protecting occupants and enabling safe access for assessment.
Water Intrusion Barriers
Burst pipes, flood damage, or storm infiltration require fast temporary waterproofing to stop ongoing damage. We deploy moisture barriers, temporary drainage solutions, and waterproof coverings to halt water intrusion until permanent water damage restoration begins.
Post-Fire Securing & Cleanup
Fire damage leaves properties vulnerable on multiple fronts. After the flames are out, we board up compromised areas, address structural hazards, and coordinate with your insurance adjuster — providing a clear path from emergency securing to full restoration.
Insurance Documentation & Direct Billing
We photograph, document, and report every aspect of damage in a format your insurer accepts. Alta works directly with most major insurance carriers, handling the coordination and billing so you can focus on recovery — not paperwork. Learn about our insurance support.
