Property damage often creates an urgent security problem. A fire may leave windows broken. Severe winds may damage a roof. A fallen tree may expose part of the structure. Vandalism or forced entry may leave a door, storefront, or access point unsecured. In these situations, professional board-up services help protect the building while the next step is arranged.
Thompson responds to emergencies day or night. Our crew works to stabilize vulnerable areas, install temporary coverings where appropriate, and help prevent damage from rain, wind, debris, or unauthorized entry. We provide emergency board-ups, preventative board-ups, and professional tarping for damaged roofing areas.
Our board-up process may include:
When your property is open to the elements, do not wait. Contact Thompson for immediate emergency protection.
After there is property damage or any number of other incidents that may happen, board-up and tarping services in Columbus, OH or elsewhere in our service area may be needed. They do not replace permanent repairs, but they can reduce exposure and help protect the property before full restoration begins.
Common reasons to request board up or tarping include fire damage, storm damage, fallen limbs, vehicle impacts, vandalism, burglary, broken glass, roof damage, and delayed reconstruction. Even a small opening can allow rain, pests, or intruders inside. If water enters through a damaged roof or broken window, the original problem can quickly lead to water damage, mold concerns, odor issues, or additional structural repair needs.
With professional tarping, damaged roofing areas can be temporarily covered to help reduce water intrusion. With board-up services, broken doors, windows, storefronts, and other openings can be secured until repairs are completed. If your property has visible openings or exposed materials, schedule emergency service as soon as possible.
Emergency Response
Our experienced crew is standing by 24/7 to help when you need us. Thompson works to arrive onsite quickly, assess the exposed areas, and begin securing your home or business. Day or night, our goal is to reduce the chance of additional damage and help you move into the restoration process with confidence.
Mitigation
Once the property is secured, mitigation can begin when needed. The timely beginning of mitigation processes helps avoid escalating damage. This may include water extraction, drying, smoke cleanup, debris removal, odor control, or mold removal in Columbus, OH and its neighboring areas.
Rebuild and Restore
After mitigation is complete, Thompson can help restore your property to its pre-loss condition. Because we also provide reconstruction and home remodeling services in areas such as Marysville, our team can support the process beyond the initial emergency response.
Insurance Claims Assistance
Insurance paperwork can feel overwhelming after a disaster. From submitting industry-standard estimates to following up with your insurance carrier, we have decades of experience helping property owners navigate the insurance claim process.

Board up and tarping are often the first part of a larger recovery process. Thompson provides emergency restoration services in Columbus, OH for residential and commercial properties, making it easier to work with one company from emergency response through repairs.
Our related services include:
For example, if a fire damages a home, our team can help board up openings, address smoke and soot, remove odors, pack out affected belongings, and complete reconstruction. If a storm damages a roof and water enters the building, we can tarp the roof, begin water mitigation, monitor moisture, and repair affected materials.
When emergencies involve multiple types of damage, a coordinated restoration plan can save time and reduce confusion. Contact Thompson to discuss the right next step for your property.
Residential and commercial properties have different needs after a loss, but both require quick protection. For homeowners, board up and tarping can help protect personal belongings, reduce weather exposure, and provide peace of mind while repairs are scheduled. For business owners, securing the building can also help protect inventory, equipment, records, and customer areas.
Commercial board up may be needed after storefront glass damage, break-ins, fire department access, storm damage, or structural impact. Thompson understands that business interruption matters, so we work efficiently to help protect the property while restoration plans move forward.
Whether you own a single-family home, multi-family property, office, retail space, or commercial building, our team is ready to respond. Call any time for emergency board up and tarping services in Columbus, OH.
Some basic steps may help reduce risk before professionals arrive, but safety should always come first. Do not climb onto a damaged roof, enter an unstable structure, handle broken glass without protection, or walk through areas affected by fire, smoke, sewage, or electrical hazards.
If it is safe to do so, you may:
DIY boards or tarps can fail if they are not installed correctly, especially during wind or rain.
For exposed roofs, broken windows, damaged doors, or unsecured structures, call Thompson at (614) 831-1369 for professional help.
Board up and tarping can be important for insurance claims because property owners are often expected to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss. Temporary protection may help show that you acted quickly to secure the property and reduce additional exposure.
Thompson can communicate directly with insurance companies and provide documentation related to the work performed. This support can be valuable when the loss involves multiple services such as fire damage cleanup, water mitigation, mold removal, pack out, deodorization, or reconstruction.
Environmental conditions also matter. Rain entering through a damaged roof can lead to hidden moisture. Smoke and soot can spread through HVAC systems. Mold can develop when wet materials are not addressed properly. By securing the property quickly and beginning the right mitigation steps, you can help protect both the structure and the indoor environment.
