A forced door leaves you exposed twice over.
A smashed window or kicked-in door isn't just property damage — it's an opening anyone can walk back through tonight. We prioritize emergency calls and coordinate securing the opening against weather and another entry.
It's not just a broken window. It's a door left open behind them.
A break-in leaves you exposed on two fronts at once. There's the weather, same as any opening — but there's also the plain fact that the way in is still open. The same broken door or window that let someone in once will let the next person in just as easily, and that's hard to sit with when it's time to lock up for the night.
Securing it closes both. We keep plywood and framing lumber staged at our Limerick shop to support emergency response. We're typically on-site within 2 hours for emergencies. We leave the opening framed, fastened, and solid, and document it so your claim starts with a clean record.
The openings a forced entry leaves behind.
If any of these are true right now, the property is still open — and that's a reason to call before you try to settle in for the night.
A kicked-in or pried door
A door forced off its frame or strike plate no longer latches — it looks closed but it isn't secured.
A smashed window or glass door
Broken glass leaves an opening at ground level that anyone can reach through or climb back into.
A back or basement entry left open
Intruders often leave a second way out. We check the whole perimeter, not just the obvious front damage.
A property you don't feel safe in
If you can't lock it and don't feel right staying, tell us when you call. We're typically on-site within 2 hours for emergencies.
Secured tonight, repaired on schedule.
Our own crews handle emergency mitigation start to finish. For rebuilds, we manage every trade under one accountable team. We manage securing and permanent repair as one coordinated job.
We coordinate the response
Materials are staged locally to support emergency work. We're typically on-site within 2 hours for emergencies.
We secure the entry point
The forced door or broken window gets plywood or OSB, framed and fastened into solid structure — a real barrier, not cardboard and tape over the hole.
We check for other openings
Break-ins often leave more than one point of entry. We confirm the whole ground floor is shut before we call it secured, so nothing's left open behind you.
We document it same-day
Timestamped photos of the damage and the secured property, sent the same day — the timeline your insurer and, if needed, the police report want to see.
Post-break-in board-up, honestly answered.
Emergency calls are prioritized at any hour, with materials staged in Limerick. We're typically on-site within 2 hours for emergencies.
Usually, yes. Securing the property to prevent further loss is emergency mitigation, which standard policies expect you to perform — and that's generally covered. We document everything the same day so the cost is easy to substantiate on your claim.
That's the goal. Once the entry point is framed and fastened into solid structure, the opening is a real barrier again — not something you have to lie awake watching. If you'd rather not stay, that's your call, but a proper board-up is meant to let you rest.
If police are documenting the scene, let them finish first — we don't want to disturb anything they need. Once they've released it, we coordinate the securing work. We'll photograph the damage as we found it, which helps both the police report and your insurance claim.
Yes. Our own crews handle emergency mitigation start to finish. For rebuilds, we manage every trade under one accountable team. We manage board-up and permanent door or window repair on one schedule.
