- Windows, storefront glass and doors damaged in a break-in or attempted break-in
- Openings left by vandalism
- Fire, storm or accident damage, including vehicle impacts
- Vacant properties that need to be closed up and kept closed

Customer accounts and the retainer fee
What a customer account is: we keep your contact details, your properties and what usually needs securing on file, so a board-up can be arranged without starting from scratch.
Retainer fee: board-up customers can set up a customer account with a retainer fee to have service ready. The retainer is quoted individually, like all of our services: Click for a quote.
Once you're signed up as a customer, we provide 24-hour emergency response.
How to start: fill in the short form on our customer account setup page. No payment or login details are requested online; your account is confirmed by a follow-up from our team.
Pair it with guard or patrol protection
Boarding closes the openings. If a property needs to be watched until it is repaired, or stays vacant, add:
- Security guards, including short-notice coverage
- Mobile security patrols with scheduled property checks
- Alarm response & verification
We do not quote jobs of less than 12 hours per week. (guard services)
How board-up service works
Request, assess, secure, follow-up.
Request
Send the account setup form, or a quote request if you need a one-time board-up. Tell us the property type, the city and what needs securing.
Assess
We follow up to go over the property, the openings involved and anything else that needs attention.
Secure
Damaged or exposed windows, doors and other openings are covered to keep weather and intruders out until permanent repairs are made.
Follow-up
We check back with you about the work, and about guard or patrol coverage if the property needs watching.

What to expect when you sign up for board-up service
A general look at how board-up service usually works across the industry. These are common patterns among providers, not Savisa Security’s own terms.
- Across the industry, getting started is usually a quick call or a short form. Property managers can often enroll ahead of time in a free, non-binding priority program.
- Expect to share the property address, an on-site contact, after-hours contact numbers, the building’s size and layout, utility shutoff locations, and who can approve emergency work.
- Most providers quote by the job, often from photos. Some local firms price per opening, with a lower charge for each added one. Priority accounts often lock in agreed rates.
- Travel is commonly included within a set service area, with a distance or trip charge beyond it. Some providers fold travel into a minimum service-call price, and a few promise no extra charge for nights, weekends or holidays.
- Security assessments vary: guard companies often offer a free on-site visit and quote, while independent consultants usually charge and may bill travel beyond a local radius.
- Most providers advertise 24/7 answering and dispatch, but stated arrival windows range from under an hour to within a day. Most document the work for insurance, and some bill the insurer directly.
