Residential Board Up and Tarping Services

Residential Board Up for North Brooklyn Homeowners

A break-in, a storm-shattered window, or a fire that's torn a hole in the roof leaves a home exposed the moment it happens, to weather, to theft, and to further damage if it isn't closed up fast. Rainbow Restoration of North Brooklyn provides residential board up and tarping for homes, apartments, and rental properties across North Brooklyn and Kings County. We respond around the clock because every hour a window or a section of roof stays open is another hour your home and belongings are at risk. Our crew handles the full scope of the loss, from the first board going up to the final repair, so you don't have to coordinate separate companies for securing your home, cleanup, and rebuild. We document conditions on-site and can coordinate directly with your homeowner's insurance carrier, so your home gets secured and your claim moves forward at the same time.

How Our Residential Board Up Process Works

Every residential board up call starts with a crew being dispatched as soon as you reach us, day or night, to assess broken windows, damaged doors, and any roof damage. We board openings with plywood and tarp damaged roofing so wind and rain can't get further into the house. We photograph the damage before and after board up, giving you what you need to file your insurance claim. If the damage came from a fire, we can move directly into smoke and soot cleanup, which you can read more about on our residential fire and smoke damage restoration page. If water got into the home through a broken window or damaged roof, our residential water damage restoration team steps in once the property is secure. Either way, board up is the step that stops the damage from spreading while the rest of the repair plan comes together.

  • Our emergency line is answered 24/7, and we send a crew to your home as soon as you call. For a house or apartment in East Flatbush or elsewhere in North Brooklyn, getting a crew out quickly is what keeps a broken window or storm-damaged roof from turning into a much larger repair. We assess every opening, from a shattered door to storm damage on the roofline, before deciding what to board or tarp first.

  • Plywood boarding goes up over broken windows and damaged doors, and any exposed roofing gets tarped to keep the inside of your home dry. The materials and methods we use are chosen to protect your home's existing structure, so nothing about the board up itself adds to your repair list once the boards come down. For vacant homes, rental units between tenants, or properties mid-renovation, the same process keeps the space secure against weather and trespassing.

  • Once your home is secure, board up becomes the first phase of a larger repair rather than a standalone fix. We can coordinate directly with your insurance carrier using the documentation gathered on-site, and if the damage requires it, move into water extraction, fire and smoke cleanup, mold prevention, or full reconstruction services without bringing in a second contractor. That handoff is what keeps a residential board up call from turning into weeks of coordinating separate vendors.

    A break-in or a storm doesn't wait for a convenient time, and neither should your response. Call Rainbow Restoration of North Brooklyn for residential board up and tarping across North Brooklyn, Greenpoint, and the surrounding Kings County communities. Our crew is available 24/7 to start securing your home the same day you call.
