C2C Restoration offers emergency board up during hurricanes and floods throughout Florida. We will board up windows and doors on your home or business. Our team is ready to protect your property from further damage from water. Another benefit of boarding up is it will prevent vandalism especially when your property is inaccessible by road during major Hurricanes. The board up process can take hours or days depending on the access we have to your property and access to boarding materials.
Top FAQs about boarding up your home and business property:
Q 1. Why do I need to cover my windows for an upcoming storm or hurricane in Florida?
A 1: Covering windows during a storm minimizes the threat of projectile damage: storm-force winds can pick up debris, tree limbs, and construction material and send it through the air into your home or business.
Q 2. Can I just use tape or tarp on my windows instead of boarding them up?
A 2. No. A storm is no time for tape or a tarp; it calls for hard-core covering with plywood. Tape and tarps will not protect your windows from wind-borne debris, and the idea that taping windows helps is a myth. If anything, tape holds together large chunks of glass that are more dangerous than small shards.
Q 3. What’s the best thickness of plywood to use?
A 3. Use plywood at least 5/8 inch thick. Impact tests show a two-by-four traveling at 34 miles per hour plows right through a 1/2-inch-thick piece of oriented strand board, a cheaper alternative, but bounces off a 5/8-inch-thick piece of plywood.
