Emergency Board-Up & Tarping Services in St. Louis: Why Timing Matters

Storms, accidents, and property damage don’t wait for business hours - and neither should you. If your home is left exposed after a storm, fire, or break-in, emergency tarping and board-up services are your first line of defense.

At San Juans Restoration, we provide 24/7 emergency response across St. Louis to keep your home secure and dry - before things get worse.

When to Request Emergency Tarping or Board-Up

You don’t have to wait for an official inspection to protect your home. Call for emergency services if:

• Your roof is damaged or missing shingles after a storm

• A tree or object has punctured your roof or siding

• Windows or doors are shattered or compromised

• You’ve had a fire and need to seal the structure

• There’s visible water intrusion during or after heavy rain

In areas like Hazelwood, Affton, and University City, we've helped homeowners minimize damage just hours after weather events.

What Happens If You Wait Too Long

Every hour your home is open to the elements increases the risk of:

• Water damage to insulation, drywall, and flooring

• Mold growth within 24–48 hours

• Animal or pest entry

• Vandalism, looting, or trespassing

• Higher out-of-pocket insurance costs

Quick mitigation protects not just the structure - but your belongings, health, and financial future.

How the SJR Emergency Response Team Works

Here’s what to expect when you call San Juans Restoration:

1. Immediate dispatch within St. Louis County and nearby areas

2. Arrival with heavy-duty tarps, plywood, fasteners, and lifts

3. Roof and structural assessments to identify unsafe zones

4. Secure tarp or board-up based on your structure and damage type

How Tarping & Boarding Help With Insurance

Insurance companies expect you to “prevent further damage” once an event occurs. Emergency mitigation like board-up or tarping helps:

• Prove you took action to protect your home

• Prevent secondary damage that may not be covered

• Establish a clear damage timeline for the claim

• Justify emergency service reimbursement

Our crews also create photo logs, itemized estimates, and claim-ready reports to simplify your recovery process.

Protect First. Repair Later.

When damage hits, don’t just wait for a contractor - get your home protected immediately. San Juans Restoration is trusted across St. Louis for same-day tarping and board-up services that keep families safe and claims moving forward.
