INSURANCE-PREFERRED CONTRACTOR
When a fire, storm, break-in, or vehicle impact leaves your property exposed, every hour matters. Open roofs, broken windows, and unsecured doors invite water intrusion, theft, and further structural damage.
Ask specifically for our commercial project manager when you call.
Available 24/7 for emergency response in the Sacramento, CA area only.
EMergency Board-Up
Emergency board-up is the right call immediately after any loss that compromises the building envelope:
Don’t wait for the insurance process to start protecting your property. Most policies cover emergency board-up costs as part of the loss. DH Construction documents everything, so it’s included in your claim.
WHO WE SERVE
From single-story homes to large, multi-unit properties, DH Construction handles the full range of property reconstruction.
Plywood or polycarbonate boarding of broken windows, doors, and frames
Heavy-duty temporary tarps installed over compromised roofing to prevent water intrusion
Perimeter security fencing for fire-damaged or structurally compromised properties
Temporary door and door-frame reinforcement after break-ins or impact damage
Temporary containment and covering of debris piles pending asbestos and leaf testing, coordination of materials testing through qualified inspectors before removal begins
Pre- and post-board-up photography for the insurance claim file
For DH Construction clients, emergency board-up is often the first step in a full reconstruction project. We document the board-up scope, photograph all pre-existing damage, and hand that documentation to the estimating team as they prepare the reconstruction scope for your adjuster.
Because we’re a full reconstruction service provider, the board-up crew and the reconstruction project manager are connected. There’s no handoff gap where documentation gets lost or damage goes undocumented between service providers.
The differentiators that matter to homeowners, property managers, and commercial adjusters.
Carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and finishers on staff, not subcontracted. Faster mobilization, better quality control, single accountability.
Active project volume means experienced crews and established carrier relationships across all major commercial markets.
Dedicated project management protocols for high-dollar, multi-system, or multi-tenant events.
Estimates prepared in the format carriers require, with proper commercial pricing and code upgrade documentation.

How quickly can you respond to emergencies?
We provide 24/7 emergency response ONLY from our Sacramento location. We unfortunately do not cover Chico or the Sparks/Reno area for emergency services. Call us at any time. Response times vary by location and crew availability, but our goal is to have a crew mobilizing within the hour for active emergency situations.
If any opening exists in the building envelope, such as a broken window, a compromised door, or a hole in the roof, you have an active vulnerability. Even small openings allow water intrusion, animal entry, and unauthorized access, all of which expand the scope of your loss and your insurance claim. Board-up is low-cost relative to the damage it prevents.
Board-up and temporary protection are emergency measures to stop additional damage; they’re not permanent repairs. Once your insurance claim is moving and the scope is approved, DH Construction transitions to full fire damage reconstruction, water damage reconstruction, or the appropriate service for your loss type. Many clients use us for both the emergency response and the full rebuild, which keeps the documentation and project continuity in one place.
