Commercial Board Up in Little Rock

Storefronts, offices, warehouses, and multi-tenant buildings.

Commercial securing has a second job beyond closing the opening: keeping the business presentable and, where possible, operating. Describe the frontage, the tenant situation, and whether the space is still occupied when you send the request.

What this service covers

  • Boarding of storefront glazing and entry systems
  • Securing of loading doors, service entries, and roll-up doors
  • Securing of multi-tenant and mixed-use openings
  • Boarding of vacant or partially occupied commercial space
  • Documentation prepared for property managers and insurers

Common warning signs

  • Broken storefront glass on a street-facing unit
  • A service or overhead door that will not secure
  • Openings in a building where tenants are still operating
  • Repeated entry attempts at an empty suite

Typical causes

  • Storm damage to glazing and exterior systems
  • Break-in and forced entry at commercial entrances
  • Vehicle impact at storefronts and entry vestibules
  • Fire and suppression damage in a tenant space

What to do first

  • Secure the interior and account for inventory if it is safe
  • Notify affected tenants and building management
  • Photograph the frontage and each opening
  • Send the request with the property type and occupancy

What a provider may assess

  • Frontage, glazing, and entry systems affected
  • Openings that affect tenant access or continued operation
  • Structural condition around large commercial openings
  • Scheduling constraints around business hours

Speak with a local service coordinator to describe the situation. A provider can assess the issue and recommend next steps. Emergency service requests are reviewed based on availability.
