Emergency Property Securing After Storm, Fire, or Break-In Damage in Centennial
When a storm blows out a window, a fire burns through an exterior wall, or a break-in leaves your Centennial home exposed, every hour that goes by without securing the opening means more risk: additional weather damage, theft, vandalism, and safety hazards. Anatom Restoration provides emergency board-up and property securing services across Centennial 24 hours a day. We install structural plywood over openings, apply heavy-duty roof tarps, and secure damaged areas to stop ongoing damage while permanent repairs are planned. One call to (720) 356-0945 gets a crew moving to your address.

When Centennial Homes Need Emergency Board-Up Service
The most common triggers for emergency board-up in Centennial are hailstorms that shatter windows or skylights, high-wind events that remove sections of roofing or siding, fires that burn through exterior walls or rooflines, and break-ins that leave doors or windows damaged. Centennial’s storm season, running roughly from April through September, generates frequent board-up calls because the hail events here are serious. In neighborhoods like Smoky Hill, Heritage Village, and Piney Creek, it is not unusual for a single hailstorm to break window glazing on multiple homes on the same block. After a fire, boarding up is often the first task before any cleanup work begins, since firefighting activities frequently leave windows broken and structural openings exposed. The DTC South area along the 80112 corridor also generates board-up calls from commercial properties after after-hours incidents. Whatever the cause, we respond the same way: promptly, professionally, and with the materials and equipment to do the job correctly.
How We Board Up and Secure Properties in Centennial
Our board-up process uses structural-grade plywood cut to fit each opening and secured with appropriate fasteners that protect the structure without causing additional damage. For windows, we install plywood in a way that maintains some airflow where appropriate and prevents water infiltration. For roof openings, we install heavy-duty polyethylene tarps that extend well beyond the damaged area, secured with roofing nails or battens to prevent wind displacement. We do not use contractor-grade tarps that blow off in the next wind event, and we do not cut corners on coverage area. Every board-up job we do is photographed before and after for your insurance documentation. We provide you with a copy of the documentation package so your insurer has a clear record of the condition of the property when it was secured. If you need someone to communicate with your adjuster about the securing work, we can do that as well.
Board-Up as Part of a Broader Restoration Plan in Centennial
Emergency board-up is not the end of the process. It is the beginning. After securing the property, the next steps are damage assessment, insurance documentation, and then the actual restoration work. Anatom Restoration handles all of these stages, which means when you call us for a board-up, you are also starting the relationship with the company that will take you through to a fully restored home or business. There is no gap between the securing crew and the restoration crew. We do not hand you off to another company. This matters because continuity of documentation is important for insurance claims, and because the people who secured your Centennial property have seen the full extent of the damage and can describe it accurately when the adjuster arrives. Call (720) 356-0945 any time, day or night, and we will be on our way.

Board-up is treated as an emergency service. Our crews typically reach most Centennial addresses within 60 to 90 minutes of the call, with priority given to properties with weather exposure or security risk. Call (720) 356-0945 at any hour.
Board-up service is needed any time the exterior envelope of a property is compromised in a way that allows weather, unauthorized entry, or safety hazards. This includes broken windows from hail or break-ins, damaged or missing sections of roofing after a storm, fire-damaged walls or roof areas, and garage doors or entry doors that have been damaged and cannot be secured normally.
Yes, in most cases. Board-up and emergency securing costs are typically covered under the mitigation provisions of a standard homeowners policy. The reasoning is that securing the property prevents additional damage, which the insurer has an interest in. We document the board-up work thoroughly for your claim and can coordinate with your adjuster on cost and scope.
We take care with fastener placement to avoid causing additional damage to the structure. We use appropriately sized fasteners for each surface type and avoid over-penetrating frames or siding. In most cases, the fastener holes are minor and well within the scope of the eventual repair. We document the condition of the surrounding surfaces before boarding so there is no question about pre-existing damage.
Board-up is a temporary measure, not a permanent solution. Plywood boards degrade with UV exposure and weather cycling, and tarps can shift or degrade over time. For most storm damage in Centennial, we recommend beginning permanent repairs within 2 to 4 weeks of the board-up. Insurance policies may also have requirements about prompt repair. We will advise you on timeline during the assessment.
Yes. We serve commercial properties throughout Centennial, including the 80112 DTC South and Dry Creek corridor. Board-up needs for commercial properties after break-ins, storm events, or fire are handled with the same 24/7 availability and the same documentation standard we apply to residential jobs.
Board-up refers specifically to covering openings in walls and windows with structural plywood to prevent weather and unauthorized entry. Tarping refers to covering damaged roof areas with heavy-duty polyethylene tarps to prevent water intrusion. Most emergency responses after significant storm or fire damage involve both. We carry the materials and equipment for both on our trucks.
Yes. We provide board-up as a standalone service. That said, many homeowners who call us for emergency securing do end up working with us through the full restoration because it is a natural continuation of the process. There is no obligation attached to the board-up call.
Have your property address ready, a brief description of what happened and what openings are exposed, whether the fire department or police have already responded (for fire or break-in events), and whether the property is occupied or vacant. You do not need to have all the answers, but the more information you can provide, the better we can prepare the crew before arrival. Call (720) 356-0945 any time.
