An open vacant property is a liability, not a pause.
A vacant, inherited, or between-tenants property left open draws weather, squatters, and the kind of liability that lands on whoever owns it. We secure the openings and document the condition — so it's protected and on the record while you decide what's next.
No one's watching it — which is exactly the problem.
A vacant property left open exposes the owner on three fronts that only get worse with time: the weather gets in and quietly rots what it touches; squatters and vandals read an open, empty building as an invitation; and you're liable for anyone who wanders onto an unsafe property, invited or not. An empty house doesn't pause — it deteriorates.
Securing it closes all three, and documenting its condition protects you beyond the board-up itself. We seal the openings with framed, fastened plywood, then photograph and record the state of the property the same day — so there's a dated record of exactly how it looked when it was secured. Materials are staged at our Limerick shop to support response across the service area.
The openings that turn an empty house into a target.
If you own or just inherited a property sitting empty, any of these means it's exposed — and the risk sits with you until it's closed.
An inherited or between-tenants home
A property with no one living in it and no one watching it is exposed the whole time it sits — securing it is what stops the slow losses.
Doors or windows that won't lock
Broken, missing, or forced entry points leave the building open to squatters and weather alike — the first thing to close.
A property you're now liable for
Whoever owns it is responsible for anyone who wanders in and gets hurt. Securing and documenting it is how you limit that exposure.
A condition you want on the record
Before cleanup or a sale, a dated photo record of how the property looked protects you against later disputes about its state.
Secured, documented, and on the record.
Our own crews handle emergency mitigation start to finish. For rebuilds, we manage every trade under one accountable team. We manage securing, cleanup, repairs, or a full rebuild as one coordinated job.
We coordinate the property visit
Materials are staged at our Limerick shop to support the response. For emergencies, we're typically on-site within 2 hours for emergencies. You don't have to be there.
We assess every opening
We walk the property and confirm every way in — doors, windows, basement and cellar access, damaged roof — because a vacant building only stays secured if all of it is closed, not just the front.
We secure it properly
Plywood or OSB, framed and fastened into solid structure — built to hold for the long stretch a vacant property often sits, not just look closed for a week.
We document the condition
Timestamped photos and a written record of the property's state and what we secured — a dated record that protects you against liability and disputes down the line.
We post the TRC sign
Our sign tells passersby the property is being handled, not abandoned — which is often enough on its own to make it a less appealing target.
Vacant-property board-up, honestly answered.
No. Tell us where the property is and what's open, and a crew can go secure it. We'll document everything with timestamped photos and send you the record, so you know exactly what was done without having to stand on-site while we do it.
Because an open, empty building is a standing risk that only grows: weather gets in and rots what it touches, squatters and vandals treat it as an invitation, and you're liable for anyone who wanders onto an unsafe property. Securing it closes all three at once.
Yes — that's a core part of this job. We take timestamped photos and record the state of the property and what we secured, the same day. A dated record protects you against liability claims and disputes about the property's condition down the line.
As long as you need — vacant properties often sit for months while an estate settles or a sale goes through. A properly framed, weather-sealed board-up is built to hold for that long stretch, not just overnight.
Yes. Our own crews handle emergency mitigation start to finish. For rebuilds, we manage every trade under one accountable team. We manage securing, cleanup, repairs, or rebuild on one schedule.
