LA CONSULTING
Original Content
Yes, LA Consulting can help coordinate emergency board-up services and temporary repairs after a loss. These actions are critical in the hours and days following property damage because they prevent further destruction, protect your property from theft or weather exposure, and show your insurer that you acted responsibly. While we are not contractors ourselves, we work with trusted professionals who provide these emergency services quickly and effectively. We also make sure the costs are properly documented so they can be included in your insurance claim.
Why temporary repairs matter
Insurance companies expect policyholders to take reasonable steps to mitigate additional damage. If a storm rips off part of your roof and you do nothing, your insurer may reduce or deny coverage for subsequent rain damage. Temporary repairs like roof tarping, window board-up, or water extraction show that you took action to limit losses. These costs are typically reimbursable, so long as they are documented and connected to the covered event. By involving LA Consulting right away, you ensure that temporary repairs are handled correctly and strengthen your position with the insurer.
Types of emergency services we assist with
After storms, we often arrange for roof tarping, window board-ups, or debris removal. Following water damage, we can coordinate with mitigation companies for emergency drying, dehumidification, and mold prevention. For fire losses, we help with securing the property and preventing further contamination from soot and smoke. In commercial claims, temporary power, fencing, or security measures may also be needed. LA Consulting makes sure the right professionals are deployed promptly and that all invoices are collected for reimbursement.
Our role is to connect you with reputable providers while ensuring that every expense is tied back to your claim.
How we document emergency repairs
Documentation is just as important as the repairs themselves. Insurers will not reimburse vague or incomplete invoices. LA Consulting ensures that receipts, photographs, and reports are detailed enough to withstand scrutiny. We incorporate this documentation into your claim package so the insurer cannot question whether the repairs were necessary or reasonable. By managing the paperwork as well as the work itself, we protect you from one of the most common reasons temporary repair costs are denied.
We also confirm that contractors do not overcharge or perform unnecessary work that might create disputes later.
Peace of mind during a stressful time
Experiencing major damage is stressful, and arranging emergency repairs on your own can feel overwhelming. By calling LA Consulting first, you gain not only an advocate for your claim but also a partner who helps secure your property quickly. Our involvement ensures that nothing slips through the cracks—from hiring the right professionals to documenting costs properly. Clients often tell us that this support was one of the most valuable services we provided, because it gave them peace of mind while they focused on safety and recovery.
For businesses, timely board-up and security can also reduce downtime and protect inventory, which is critical for financial recovery.
The bottom line
Yes, LA Consulting assists with emergency board-up and temporary repairs by coordinating trusted professionals and documenting costs for your claim. These steps protect your property, meet your obligations under the policy, and strengthen your case for reimbursement. With our team handling the process, you can be confident that your property is secured and your insurer will be held accountable for covering these necessary expenses.
