Call us right away if you see:
- Exposed sheathing, house wrap or insulation
- Panels or boards missing after a storm
- Holes from fallen limbs or flying debris
- Rain in the forecast with an open wall
Why this happens in Annapolis
Chesapeake-area storms can strip panels in minutes and drive rain sideways into any gap. Once sheathing is wet, the clock starts on rot and mold, which is why the first job is closing the wall, not debating the finish.
How our emergency repair works
- Call or send photos so we can confirm what is exposed.
- We check the forecast and decide how fast the opening must be closed.
- We cut away loose material and make the edges safe to fasten to.
- We cover the opening with a fastened, sealed weather barrier.
- We photograph everything and schedule the permanent repair.
Where we work
We handle emergency siding board-up and sealing across Annapolis, including Eastport, Historic Downtown, Parole and Annapolis Neck. See all service areas.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a temporary board-up stay on?
Board-up is meant to buy time until materials arrive and the permanent repair is scheduled. We give you a realistic timeline for your wall, because leaving a temporary cover through a whole winter lets moisture work in at the edges.
Does insurance cover board-up?
Many homeowners policies include reasonable steps to prevent further damage, but coverage depends on your policy. We document what we did and why, and you confirm coverage with your insurer.
Do I need board-up if only a few panels are missing?
If sheathing or house wrap is showing and rain is coming, yes, because even a small opening lets in water. If the wall underneath is covered and intact, a quick panel replacement may be enough.
Can you board up a wall at night or on a weekend?
Emergencies do not keep office hours, so call any time and we will tell you the earliest we can be there.
