Storm-Proof Your Business: The Smart Way to Board Up Windows Before Disaster Strikes

June 18, 20252 min read

When storms roll in, preparation makes all the difference between a temporary inconvenience and a costly catastrophe. For commercial properties, window boarding isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Whether you're facing hurricanes, high winds, or flying debris, unprotected glass can turn your building into ground zero for damage. That’s where window boarding steps in as your first—and best—line of defense.

At Enviro USA Inc., we know that protecting your investment starts before the storm hits.


🛑 Why Board Up? The Real Risks of Waiting

Unprotected windows are vulnerable to:

  • Shattering from flying debris

  • Water and wind infiltration

  • Interior damage to floors, furniture, and equipment

  • Theft or vandalism during post-storm chaos

Once a window is compromised, damage spreads fast—and repairs get expensive. Boarding up is your insurance policy against the unpredictable.


💡 Who Should Be Boarding Up?

If you manage any of the following, window boarding should already be on your emergency prep checklist:

  • Retail stores and shopping centers

  • Medical or dental offices

  • Commercial offices and corporate buildings

  • Warehouses and distribution centers

  • Educational or childcare facilities

Basically—if it has glass and gets foot traffic, it needs protection.


🔨 What Does Professional Window Boarding Include?

While DIY is tempting, professional storm prep ensures safety, speed, and compliance.

Enviro USA Inc. provides:

Custom-fit plywood installation – Secured with proper anchors and fasteners
Quick deployment teams – Ready to mobilize before the storm
Safe removal and storage options – For easy reinstallation next time
Damage assessments post-storm – So you know what needs repair vs. replacement

You’ll get peace of mind knowing it’s done right—before the first drop falls.


⏰ When Should You Schedule Boarding Services?

Before the forecast becomes a frenzy.
The moment a storm warning is issued, emergency service demand skyrockets.

We recommend:

  • Creating a pre-approved emergency response plan

  • Scheduling standby or pre-storm contracts

  • Acting early—before the scramble begins

Let’s be real: plywood shortages are a thing. Be on the schedule before everyone else gets in line.


🧼 Bonus: Cleanup After the Storm

Once the weather clears, you’re not out of the woods. That’s why we offer post-storm services including:

  • Window board removal

  • Debris cleanup

  • Water extraction & drying

  • Full janitorial and facility restoration

From prevention to recovery, we’re your one-call solution.
