Emergency Board-Up Services in Colorado Springs, CO

Protecting Your Property After Storms, Fire, and Structural Damage, Around the Clock

Anatom Restoration provides 24/7 emergency board-up and tarping services throughout Colorado Springs and the surrounding Pikes Peak region. We use heavy-duty materials and proper fastening techniques to protect your home or business until permanent repairs can be completed.

When You Need Emergency Board-Up in Colorado Springs

Board-up and tarping calls in Colorado Springs come from a predictable set of events, most of them tied to the city’s climate and the hazards that come with it. Severe hailstorms are the most frequent trigger. A storm cell that drops large hail across neighborhoods like Briargate, Pine Creek, or Northgate can break multiple windows and skylight panels in a single pass. With another storm potentially building the next afternoon, an unboarded window is an open invitation for more water damage. Fire damage routinely creates board-up needs, because fire can burn holes in roof sections, exterior walls, and eaves that need to be covered immediately to prevent weather intrusion while the site is assessed. High-wind events, which can reach dangerous speeds when storms funnel through the Palmer Divide and down toward Colorado Springs, blow in doors and windows even without hail present. In the older neighborhoods of Old Colorado City, Ivywild, and the historic downtown area, deteriorated window frames and aging wood siding can fail under wind loads that newer construction handles without issue. Break-ins and vandalism create board-up needs in both residential and commercial settings. And winter freeze events can cause sudden pipe failures that spray water through walls, sometimes creating structural damage that requires temporary securing until repairs begin.

What We Do When We Arrive for a Colorado Springs Board-Up Call

When we receive a board-up call, we dispatch a crew immediately regardless of the time of day. We carry pre-cut plywood panels, heavy-duty tarps, strapping materials, and fastening systems on every service vehicle. When we arrive, we assess all openings that need to be secured. For window board-up, we use structural-grade plywood cut to fit each opening and fastened in a way that does not further damage the window frame or surrounding trim. For roof openings and damaged sections, we use reinforced poly tarps secured with wood battens and screws rather than simple weights or rope, which do not hold in Colorado Springs wind conditions. We also board doors that have been damaged or kicked in, using framing lumber secured across the door frame on the interior side. Before we leave, we confirm that all openings are fully covered and that the building is weather-tight. We photograph the completed board-up, which provides documentation for your insurance company showing that protective measures were taken promptly after the loss event. If you are dealing with both board-up needs and water or fire damage at the same property, we can address all of it as part of the same response.

Board-Up Services for Colorado Springs Businesses and Commercial Properties

Commercial board-up calls in Colorado Springs often come after break-ins, vandalism, or severe weather events that affect storefronts, office parks, and light industrial facilities. The Powers Corridor, Interquest Parkway area, and the commercial districts along North Nevada and Academy Boulevard see commercial property damage calls after major hail events or wind events. Securing a commercial property after damage matters both for the structure itself and for liability. An unsecured commercial building with broken windows or an open entryway creates an attractive hazard for trespassers. We handle commercial board-up with the same urgency as residential, and we can deploy additional crews for larger commercial properties or multi-unit buildings. For businesses in the Northgate and Interquest areas that serve military families and personnel from the US Air Force Academy or Schriever SFB, we understand the need for fast, professional service that does not leave a property looking neglected. Call Anatom Restoration at (720) 356-0945, and we will have someone on the way within the hour.

Board-Up Services FAQs

We provide emergency board-up services throughout Colorado Springs and all surrounding communities. We serve all Colorado Springs ZIP codes from 80903 through 80951, as well as Fountain, Monument, Black Forest, Woodland Park, Falcon, Peyton, Cimarron Hills, and Manitou Springs. If your property is in the Pikes Peak region, call (720) 356-0945 and we will get there.
We aim to be on site within 60 minutes for emergencies within Colorado Springs city limits. Response time to surrounding communities is typically 60 to 90 minutes. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. The faster we can secure the building, the less additional damage occurs.
A properly installed board-up with plywood panels fastened to structural framing can withstand Colorado Springs wind conditions reliably for several weeks. Roof tarps secured with wood battens and screws rather than loose weights hold through typical summer thunderstorms. Neither board-up nor tarping is a permanent solution, but they provide solid short-term protection while permanent repairs are arranged. We recommend scheduling permanent repairs as soon as possible, especially heading into monsoon season or winter.
Yes. Most homeowners insurance policies include a requirement that you take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss event. This is called the duty to mitigate. Documenting that you had professional board-up done promptly demonstrates that you fulfilled that duty. We photograph the completed work and can provide documentation for your claim file. If we also perform restoration work on the property, that documentation becomes part of the overall project record.
Yes. We use fastening techniques designed to minimize damage to existing window frames and trim. For windows that will be permanently replaced, minor fastener holes in the frame are acceptable. For windows that may be reusable, we can use exterior frame attachment methods that avoid penetrating the frame itself. We assess each situation and use the least invasive approach that still achieves a secure board-up.
Board-up refers to using plywood panels to cover window and door openings. Tarping refers to covering roof damage or large open areas with heavy-duty polyethylene tarps. The right approach depends on what needs to be covered. Roof damage gets tarped. Window and door openings get boarded. In many storm or fire situations, we do both in the same visit.
Yes. Vehicle impact damage to storefront glass, garage doors, or building walls is another board-up scenario we handle in Colorado Springs. If a vehicle has struck a building and created an opening that exposes the interior to weather or unauthorized entry, we can secure it with plywood and temporary framing until repairs can be completed.
In most cases, yes. Emergency board-up performed as a direct result of a covered loss event, such as a storm or fire, is typically covered under the protective safeguards or loss mitigation provision of your policy. We recommend notifying your insurer at the same time you call us, so there is no question that the board-up was performed in response to the covered event.
Yes. We work with property managers, landlords, HOAs, and commercial building owners throughout Colorado Springs. We understand that multi-unit buildings and rental properties require quick response and clear communication with property management, and we are experienced working within those workflows. Call (720) 356-0945 and let us know the nature of the property.
Keep people away from the damaged area, especially if there is broken glass or structural damage. If water is entering through the opening, place towels or plastic sheeting as a temporary measure to reduce water intrusion, but do not put yourself in danger to do so. Leave the damaged area otherwise undisturbed so our crew can assess and photograph it accurately when we arrive. If the property has been burglarized, notify the police before moving or touching anything.
