SERVICE PILLAR

Break-In Board-Up Service

Break in Board Up is for you if you run or manage retail storefronts, restaurants and bars, pharmacies and banks, or landlords of commercial units anywhere across Canada. Every visit centres on the forced door or window and the damage left by the break-in, and we get the site secured fast after a break-in, then document everything so the loss report and claim line up. Most people call us because a break-in that has left your door or window open to the street kept happening with a previous contractor, and the fix usually starts with a short conversation about your address, the damage, and how soon you need the site secured. Below, you will see exactly what a visit covers, how your first dispatch gets booked, and how the break-in board-up adapts as your property changes through the year.

// GETTING STARTED

What We Sort Out On Your First Call

When you plan your service, we start with your current traffic, how often the forced door or window needs attention, and whether Canada access fits a standard crew or needs a ladder or lift. Because we get the site secured fast after a break-in, then document everything so the loss report and claim line up, you are matched to the right crew on the first call instead of waiting on a drawn-out proposal. Expect one quick follow-up after the first visit once your real numbers are clear, and know that small schedule tweaks then are normal, not a sign anything was set up wrong.

// HOW A VISIT WORKS

From Dispatch Call to Handover

01

Dispatch Call & Intake

Tell us your site type, roughly what is broken or open, and whether you need Canada service today or on a set schedule. We lock in an arrival window.

02

Site & Opening Check

We confirm how the crew can reach the opening, where the damage sits, and whether a break-in that has left your door or window open to the street has been a recurring problem, so the crew arrives with the right plywood, glass or hardware.

03

Secure & Board Up

The crew handles the forced door or window, the damage left by the break-in and the temporary secure barrier on site, since we get the site secured fast after a break-in, then document everything so the loss report and claim line up.

04

Documentation & Handover

We log the install, hand you any insurance or security paperwork you need, and set your next visit if you want one. After that, changes are a quick call, not a new setup.

// BEFORE YOU CALL

What You Will Sort Out Before You Call

  • Whether this fits you better than a general contractor if you run retail storefronts or restaurants and bars.
  • How the forced door or window gets handled, secured, and documented across Canada.
  • Why we get the site secured fast after a break-in, then document everything so the loss report and claim line up, and what that means for a cleaner, longer-lasting fix.
  • What usually causes a break-in that has left your door or window open to the street, and how a proper dispatch keeps it away.
  • When it makes sense to move from a one-time call to a recurring security plan.

// SERVICE DETAILS

What A Standard Visit Actually Covers

A visit starts with the forced door or window, then moves to the damage left by the break-in and the temporary secure barrier, scaled to your site rather than a generic checklist. If you run retail storefronts, the job looks different than it does for pharmacies and banks, so what the crew brings and how long they stay reflects the building in front of them, not a flat template.

We Get The Site Secured Fast After A Break-in, Then Document Everything So The Loss Report and Claim Line Up. That matters most if you have already dealt with a break-in that has left your door or window open to the street, because it is usually a scheduling or access problem rather than a one-off fluke. Fixing the routine, not just clearing today's mess, is what tends to keep it solved.

If you manage more than one location, you can run every site through a single dispatch account, with each address on its own visit frequency instead of one blanket schedule. When your traffic or vacancy changes, adjusting a site is a quick call, not a renegotiated contract, and every visit is logged so your records stay clean for inspectors, insurers, or head office.

You usually get a crew on site the same week you call, since teams already run routes through most regions we cover. When a spike, a storm, or a break-in wave hits, we can absorb it without reworking your whole account, because the break-in board-up is built to flex around your site rather than lock you into a fixed cadence for the year.

// COMMON QUESTIONS

Good to Know

Q1

Should I start with a service or my city?

If you want the full picture of how a board-up or glass visit works, start with the service page. If you already know your location and just need a crew out, jump straight to your city.

Q2

Do you cover emergencies?

Yes. The emergency pages cover same-day and after-hours board-up, glass and door response. Call and we will give you a real arrival window.

Q3

Can I just call instead of picking a page?

Yes. Call us, tell us your site type and what is broken, and we will point you to the right service and get a crew moving.
