Does KDT provide emergency board-up services?
Emergency Board-Up & Site Securing
Yes.
KDT provides emergency board-up and site securing, covering broken windows, doors and storefronts with plywood, closing off damaged buildings and putting up temporary fencing so property is protected after storms, fires or unrest.
Typical configuration
- Material
- Plywood or OSB, about 1/2 or 5/8 in thick, typical
- Fastening
- Screws or through-bolts depending on the frame and security need
- Coverage
- Windows, doors, storefronts, wall and roof openings
- Site securing
- Temporary fencing, gates and locks
- Power
- Crews bring generators and tools; no site power needed
A building with broken windows, doors blown in or a wall open to the weather is exposed to rain, theft and squatters. Board-up closes it fast: plywood cut and fastened over windows, doors and storefronts, holes in walls and roofs covered, and the site closed off with temporary fencing where needed.
KDT sends crews with plywood, fasteners, tools and generators, so the work doesn't depend on local power or a lumber yard being open. We secure the building, clean up glass and loose debris at the openings, and photograph each site for the owner and insurer. For larger or higher-risk sites, the same team can add patrols, cameras and access control.
Crews can board up ahead of a storm, after one, or after a fire, break-in or civil unrest, for one storefront or a whole portfolio of properties.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide emergency board-up services?
Yes. Our crews board up windows, doors and storefronts with plywood, cover openings and secure damaged sites with fencing and locks.
Can you board up before a hurricane?
Yes. Pre-storm board-up protects windows and doors from wind and debris. Book it early, because crews and plywood get scarce as a storm gets close.
Do you need power on site?
No. Crews bring generators and their own tools, so we can work in areas with no grid power.
Can you also guard the property?
Yes. Board-up can be paired with security patrols, mobile camera towers and access control for sites at risk of theft or vandalism.
