Why a fast board-up matters
A fire, a fallen tree, or a broken-out window leaves openings that let in rain, wind, animals, and anyone who wanders by. Until those openings are covered, the loss keeps growing — water gets into what the fire spared, and an unsecured home is an easy target for theft and vandalism. Insurers also expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, which is exactly what a proper board-up does.
Metro Detroit weather does not wait for a convenient time — a home left open overnight in a Michigan rain or snow can take on far more damage than the original event. Dry Pros responds 24/7 to board windows and doors, tarp compromised roofs, and secure entry points, so the property is stable and protected while the claim and the full restoration get underway.

Emergency Board-Up FAQ
Is emergency board-up covered by insurance?
Emergency measures to prevent further damage are typically covered, and most policies expect you to take them. Dry Pros documents the board-up and bills your insurance directly, so in most cases you only pay your deductible.
How fast can you get here?
We are available 24/7 and are typically on-site within about 2 hours across Macomb and Oakland County. With board-up, speed is everything — the sooner the home is closed up, the less secondary damage you face.
Can you handle the full restoration after the board-up?
Yes. Board-up is the first step. As an IICRC Certified Firm, Dry Pros carries the same job through water and fire cleanup, drying, and restoration, so you are not handing off to a different company mid-claim.
