Complete 24/7 Emergency Board-Up & Site Security
From fire and storm board-up to vandalism response, vehicle impact stabilization, roof tarping, and temporary fencing, every emergency securing scenario handled across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts by licensed crews within 60 minutes of dispatch.
Fire Damage Board-Up
First-on-site board-up after a residential or commercial fire. Plywood secured over damaged windows, doors, and compromised openings within 60 minutes of dispatch. Photo documentation of scope and condition is started before the first screw goes in, so the loss file begins on arrival.
60 min arrival · Photo-documented
Storm And Wind Damage Board-Up
Microbursts, nor'easters, hurricanes, and straight-line wind damage secured against the next weather front. Blown-out glass replaced with plywood, torn cladding tarped, compromised roof sections covered with reinforced tarp, and the structure sealed before the next rain line arrives.
Weather-front ready · Roof tarped
Vandalism And Break-In Board-Up
Break-in and vandalism response with police-report coordination and insurance photo log. Smashed locations, residential windows, and forced-entry doors boarded to a secure-and-weatherproof standard, then handed off to the glazier or locksmith on the owner's timeline.
Police-coord · Glazier handoff
Additional Emergency Board-Up Services
Vehicle Impact Board-Up
Car-through-garage, car-through-location, and car-through-living-room impacts stabilized and secured. Structural assessment by a licensed contractor before any framing is touched, compromised openings boarded, and the scope documented for the at-fault carrier subrogation.
Emergency Tarping (Roof)
Reinforced 6-mil tarp secured to sound framing with battens and galvanized fasteners, not a shingle patch dropped over a hole. Holds through the next weather front and the carrier inspection, then handed off to the roofer for permanent repair on scope.
Window And Door Secure-Up
Residential window and door secure-up with properly sized plywood, not scrap. Frames protected, hinges preserved, and interior-side trim masked so the opening is ready for the replacement unit without extra demo when the glazier or carpenter arrives.
Commercial Location Board-Up
Retail, restaurant, and office locations secured on an accelerated timeline with attention to signage, ADA pathways, and leaseback condition. Branded temporary facade printing available for national-tenant portfolios that need the location presentable while restoration continues.
Temporary Fencing And Site Security
Chain-link temporary fencing, site security lighting, and no-trespass signage around the full footprint when interior board-up is not enough. Keeps kids, animals, and secondary-theft risk out of the property while restoration and adjuster timelines run in parallel.
Post-Board-Up Full Restoration Coordination
One team from the first screw to the final paint stroke. Board-up handoff goes directly to the same crew chief who owns mitigation, content pack-out, structural rebuild, and carrier documentation, so the property owner does not manage a chain of subs on the worst day of their year.

What Untreated Fire Damage Costs Your Home
Most homeowners don't realize fire damage keeps spreading after the flames are out. Soot bonds chemically, smoke embeds in structure, and firefighting water creates mold risk within 48 hours. Across the tri-state's older housing stock, every hour of delay multiplies restoration costs.
Soot Bonds Within 72 Hours
Permanent Staining Sets Fast
Acidic soot residue bonds chemically to paint, metal, fabric, and finishes within hours. After 72 hours, affected surfaces often require replacement, not cleaning. Every hour of delay multiplies the scope.
Smoke Embeds In Structure
Odor Saturates Framing & Drywall
Smoke penetrates drywall, insulation, subfloor, and framing at the molecular level. Surface cleaning alone leaves embedded odor that resurfaces months later. Complete deodorization requires professional equipment.
Firefighting Water Damage
Hundreds Of Gallons In Walls & Floor
Fire suppression dumps hundreds of gallons into the home. Water-saturated framing, subfloor, and insulation create mold risk within 48 hours if not extracted and dried professionally.
Hidden Damage In Attic & Walls
Fire Travels Where You Can't See
Flames and heat move through wall cavities, attic spaces, and HVAC ducts. Damage often extends far beyond the visible burn area. Thermal imaging is the only way to map full scope.
Toxic Residue & Health Risks
Carcinogenic Particulates In Air
Modern homes contain plastics, electronics, and synthetic materials. Combustion creates hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, and carcinogenic particulates that linger in dust and HVAC until professionally remediated.
Structural Compromise From Heat
Framing & Electrical May Be Unsafe
High heat weakens structural framing, damages wiring insulation, and compromises drywall even in areas without visible burn. A licensed contractor must assess before any reoccupation.
Why Tri-State Properties Need Professional Fire Damage Restoration
New England's older housing stock, harsh winters, and coastal weather create unique fire recovery challenges from Long Island Sound to the Berkshires, challenges that require local expertise and rapid response from crews who work these homes every week.
24/7 Emergency Fire Response Across The Tri-State
Fire doesn't wait for business hours. Our team answers calls 24/7 and dispatches a board-up crew from the nearest office across Connecticut, Westchester, NYC, and Western Mass. Crews reach most homes within 60 minutes, day or night, so soot containment and roof tarping begin before wind and weather widen the loss.
Serving CT, NY & Western Mass
Physical offices in Fairfield County, Orange, New Haven, Stratford, Westchester, and Queens anchor our response, with dedicated crews covering Greenwich, Westport, Hamden, and Western Massachusetts. One call reaches the right local team, with the right equipment staged nearby, so no matter where the fire happens you get a board-up truck on-site in under an hour.
Older Housing Stock & Plaster Walls
Most of New England's housing predates 1970, with balloon framing, horsehair plaster, knob-and-tube wiring, and tight attic cavities. Fire and smoke travel differently through these structures. We've restored 1890s Victorians in New Haven, 1920s Cape Cods on Long Island, and 1880s mill houses in Western Mass where heat had compromised framing two rooms away from the origin.
Full-Service Restoration, Start To Finish
A fire loss involves boarding, water extraction, soot cleaning, odor removal, structural demo, electrical, drywall, and paint. Most homeowners end up juggling five contractors across three states. We handle every phase under one roof, with one point of contact, one licensed contractor of record, and one direct insurance bill regardless of which tri-state office is dispatched.

What To Do Immediately After A Fire
The first 48 hours after a fire determine whether contents and structure can be saved. Follow these steps while waiting for our IICRC-certified crew to arrive, typically within 60 minutes anywhere across CT, NY, or Western Mass.
What To Do Immediately
Stay out of the structure until the fire department clears it for re-entry. Even small fires leave carbon monoxide, structural weakness, and toxic residue behind.
File your claim within 24 hours. Most policies cover emergency board-up, temporary lodging, and content cleaning when reported promptly.
Take timestamped photos and video of all visible damage before any cleanup. Your adjuster will require this to process the claim and approve scope.
Get a board-up crew on-site within 60 minutes from the nearest office to secure openings, tarp the roof, and prevent weather or theft from adding secondary damage to your loss.
Once the fire department authorizes entry, grab medications, ID, passports, and critical documents. Do not attempt to salvage damaged contents, professional cleaning is often possible.
Start a written inventory of damaged contents for your adjuster. Include make, model, and approximate purchase date wherever possible.
What NOT To Do
Structural framing, ceilings, and floors may be compromised. Carbon monoxide and toxic combustion byproducts can linger for hours after flames are out.
Damaged wiring can reignite fire. HVAC operation circulates soot and toxic particulates through undamaged areas of the home.
DIY cleaning smears soot into surfaces, bonds residue permanently, and voids most insurance coverage for content restoration. Specialized cleaning chemistry is required.
Smoke, soot, and extreme heat contaminate food, canned goods, and sealed containers. Toxic residue can penetrate packaging.
Fire and smoke damage internal components. Powering them on often causes permanent damage that could have been prevented with professional cleaning.
Be cautious of storm-chasing contractors who arrive unannounced at fire scenes. Always verify licensing, insurance, and local credentials before signing anything.

Emergency Board-Up FAQs
Clear answers about response time, residential and commercial scope, temporary fencing, insurance coverage, and full-restoration handoff across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts.
Board-up crews are dispatched from the nearest of our ten tri-state offices and typically arrive within 60 minutes of the call, 24/7/365. Response is measured from the first call to crew on site, not from job start to job finish. Night, weekend, holiday, and weather-event response is standard rate, not an emergency upcharge, so property owners are not making a cost decision during a crisis.
Yes. Residential single-family, multi-family, condo, apartment, retail location, restaurant, office, warehouse, and industrial board-up are all in our regular scope. Property managers, HOAs, building owners, and homeowners all get the same 60-minute response standard and the same documentation package formatted for their carrier.
Properly installed plywood board-up with exterior-grade fasteners holds through the full weatherization period, typically 30 to 120 days, depending on exposure and weather. Reinforced 6-mil tarp over compromised roof sections holds through the next two to three weather fronts. Temporary fencing and site security can run as long as the job needs, with scheduled condition checks.
Yes. Virtually every homeowner and commercial policy across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts covers emergency board-up, tarping, and site security as part of mitigation-duty scope after a covered loss. Green Restoration bills your carrier directly with photo documentation, timestamped scope of work, and itemized invoice formatted for adjuster submission.
Yes. Chain-link temporary fencing, site security lighting, and no-trespass signage are installed around the full footprint when interior board-up alone is not enough. Commonly used after total-loss fires, vehicle impact with exposed structural, vandalism on commercial property, and storm events where perimeter integrity is compromised.
