Fire, Storm, Break-In, Vehicle Impact & Property Securing
When a property becomes exposed due to fire, severe weather, forced entry, vehicle impact, or structural failure, immediate action is critical. Broken windows, compromised doors, and damaged walls leave buildings vulnerable to theft, weather intrusion, liability risks, and escalating structural damage.
RCS Builders provides 24/7 emergency board-up and property securing for both residential and commercial properties throughout Greater Phoenix. Our rapid-response team stabilizes structures, protects assets, and prepares properties for safe restoration.
Whether securing a home, retail storefront, senior living facility, office building, or multi-family community, we deliver fast, professional protection when it matters most.

When Emergency Board-Up Is Critical
Property exposure creates immediate financial and safety risks. Professional securing should begin as soon as damage occurs to prevent secondary loss.
Common situations requiring emergency board-up include:
- Fire-damaged buildings
- Storm and wind damage
- Vehicle impact into structures
- Break-ins and forced entry
- Vandalism and malicious damage
- Structural compromise
- Broken storefront glass
- Vacant property protection
- Garage door failures
Fast stabilization protects both the structure and the insurance claim.
Why Immediate Property Securing Matters
Delaying board-up services can lead to serious consequences, including:
- Secondary water damage
- Theft or trespassing
- Weather intrusion
- Liability exposure
- Animal entry
- Mold risk
- Increased reconstruction costs
- Insurance claim complications
Insurance carriers typically expect property owners to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss. Emergency board-up helps satisfy this requirement while protecting the long-term value of the property.

Fire Board-Up Services
After a fire, buildings are frequently left exposed due to heat damage, broken windows, roof ventilation cuts, or access points created during firefighting efforts.

Storm Damage Board-Up
Severe weather and monsoon storms can expose structures within minutes. Broken glass, lifted roofing materials, and debris impact allow water inside and accelerate damage.
Professional board-up services help stop secondary issues before they begin and support a smoother restoration process.
Board-Up After Vehicle Impact
When a vehicle crashes into a building, immediate stabilization is critical to protect occupants and prevent further structural compromise.
RCS Builders secures impacted areas including storefronts, garages, exterior walls, and structural openings to prepare the property for safe reconstruction.
