Storm damage doesn't wait. Neither do we. Phase III secures your property the moment we arrive, then builds the insurance case for full restoration.
Storm projectiles, hail impact, fallen trees -- we board every opening to stop weather and unauthorized entry until glass replacement begins.
Wind-lifted shingles, tree punctures, collapsed sections -- we tarp and board roof breaches immediately to stop interior water damage from compounding.
Blown-in garage doors, kicked-in entry doors, damaged sliding doors -- secured fast so your home stays protected while repairs are scheduled.
Post-fire structural openings need immediate closure. We board up fire-damaged areas, document the scene for insurance, and begin restoration planning.
How It Works
24/7 dispatch. SE Michigan crews respond within 2-4 hours in most cases. We assess the breach on arrival and secure it immediately.
Before we touch anything, we photograph and document all damage in insurance-grade detail. This documentation protects your claim value.
Code-compliant plywood board-up of all openings. Your property is weather-tight, pest-resistant, and secure until permanent restoration begins.
We submit board-up costs as part of your claim, work directly with your adjuster, and manage the full restoration from board-up to finished product.
Scope of Service
Phase III boards up any structural breach that leaves your home exposed. We don't cut corners -- every opening is secured before we leave the site.
Every hour a structural opening sits exposed, additional damage compounds. Water intrusion warps flooring, soaks insulation, and creates mold conditions within 24-48 hours. What starts as a broken window becomes a $20,000 interior remediation job. Board-up stops that clock immediately -- and insurance typically covers the cost.
Before you cover, move, or clean up anything: photograph it. Every piece of debris, every impact point, every breach. Phase III does this professionally when we arrive -- but if you're there first, document it on your phone. That documentation is your claim evidence.
Insurance Coverage
Emergency protective measures -- including board-up -- are standard coverage under most Michigan homeowner policies. We know exactly how to document and submit it.
Standard homeowner policies cover emergency protective measures to prevent further damage. Board-up falls squarely in this category.
We photograph every opening pre- and post-board-up, itemize materials and labor, and submit directly to your adjuster as part of the full claim.
Phase III works directly with your insurance company. You shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for emergency protective measures that are already covered.
By stopping additional damage immediately, board-up protects the full value of your claim. Delayed board-up means delayed damage that carriers can dispute as neglect.

Common Questions
How fast can Phase III respond for emergency board-up in Michigan?
Phase III offers 24/7 emergency board-up response. In most SE Michigan service areas we can have a crew on-site within 2-4 hours of your call, often faster depending on location and current demand. During high-volume storm events like the September 2026 storm, we triage by severity -- call (734) 237-7322 and describe the exposure.
Does insurance cover emergency board-up costs?
In most cases, yes. Emergency board-up is considered a necessary protective measure and is typically covered under your homeowner's policy as part of the property damage claim. We document everything and submit the cost as part of your claim so you're not paying it separately out of pocket.
What does emergency board-up service include?
Our board-up service covers broken windows, damaged doors, roof breaches, open walls, garage door failures, and any structural opening that exposes your home to weather, pests, or unauthorized entry. We use code-compliant plywood secured to protect the structure until permanent repairs begin.
Do I need board-up service after a storm even if the damage looks minor?
Yes. What looks like minor damage on the surface can mean a compromised weather barrier. Even a cracked window or a small roof breach allows water, wind, and pests to enter and worsen the damage before your permanent repairs begin. Delayed board-up also gives your insurance carrier ammunition to argue that additional damage was caused by neglect, not the storm -- which can reduce your settlement.
Can Phase III handle the full restoration after board-up?
Yes, and this is exactly our model. Phase III is a full restoration contractor, not just a board-up company. We document damage before, during, and after board-up, submit it all to your carrier, and manage the complete repair process -- roofing, windows, doors, structural framing, interior work -- from board-up through final walk-through.
