Emergency Board-Up & Roof Tarping in Biloxi, MS
Closing the building the same night, before the weather finds it. Answered 24 hours a day for Biloxi and the surrounding area.
Board-up on the Biloxi peninsula has to secure more than the unit that burned. Openings cut through to an adjoining property, or a shared roof opened up by ventilation cuts, leave a neighbor exposed even where their own space was untouched.
Then there is the weather. Between June and November this is one of the most exposed stretches of coast in the country, and an unsecured building here is not waiting for rain in the abstract — it is waiting for the next named system. Tarping and boarding on the night is what keeps a fire claim from becoming a fire-and-flood claim.
Leaving it until morning. Most policies place a duty on you to protect the property from further damage, and overnight rain into an open roof is exactly the additional loss that gets questioned.
That covers 39530, 39531, 39532, 39534 — Point Cadet and the East End included.
Signs you are dealing with this
- Windows or doors removed or broken during the response
- Ventilation cuts left open in the roof
- Structural openings where walls burned through
- A property that will stand empty overnight
How emergency board-up is handled
Make it safe to approach
Hazards identified before anyone works on the building.
Board the openings
Windows, doors and wall openings secured with fixed panels rather than temporary sheeting.
Tarp the roof
Ventilation cuts and burn-through covered and battened so the next rain does not run straight into the structure.
Photograph it
Images of the secured property go into the claim file — insurers ask what was done to prevent further loss.

Questions we get asked
Is board-up covered by the policy?
Protective work after a loss is normally covered, and most policies place a duty on you to carry it out. Hold on to the invoice and the images; the adjuster will want both.
How quickly does mold become a question after a flood here?
Within a day or two at coastal temperatures. That window is why emergency drying is treated as urgent rather than merely inconvenient, and it is shorter in August than it is in February.
Who is actually going to do the work?
A licensed, insured restoration company working in your own county — not us. This is a referral service, and the reason it is set up that way is arrival time: somebody already on this ground beats somebody setting off for it.
