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: The purpose of covering windows during a storm is to minimize the threat of projectile damage. That is, storm-force winds picking up something — a piece of debris, a piece of the trees and construction debris and it flying through the air and impacting your house.
Q 2. Can I just use tape or tarp on my windows instead of boarding them up?
A 2. [T]his is no time for tape or tarp. This is time for hard-core covering — plywood.... Putting a tarp over your windows or putting tape on your windows are not going to protect your windows if they get hit by something. You won’t get much out of tape. Hillsborough County calls the benefits of taping up windows a myth and tells residents not to bother. 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. Pinellas County recommends 5/8-inch thickness. There are tests of two-by-four traveling at 34 miles per hour plowing right through a 1/2-inch-thick piece of oriented strand board — cheaper than plywood — but bounces off a 5/8-inch-thick piece of plywood.
