An open structure invites weather, theft and liability — we secure it in hours, 24/7
📞 CALL NOW: (800) 792-0212 🔍 Request Free InspectionWhen a storm, fire, or break-in leaves your De Pere property with an unprotected opening, the clock starts immediately — and the damage compounds fast. Within the first few hours, wind-driven rain and debris enter through broken windows, compromised doors, and open roof sections, soaking insulation, flooring, drywall, and structural framing. What starts as a manageable repair quickly escalates into a water damage, mold, and rot situation that costs tens of thousands more to remediate.
By the first night, a visibly damaged structure becomes a target. Theft of copper wiring, HVAC components, appliances, and personal property spikes dramatically once a property is visibly open. Vandalism and squatting are real risks, especially in properties that appear abandoned or unmonitored after a storm event. In densely populated neighborhoods and near De Pere's commercial corridors, these risks materialize quickly.
Beyond the physical damage, your insurance policy almost certainly contains a duty-to-mitigate clause. An unsecured property can give your insurance carrier legitimate grounds to dispute or reduce your claim on the basis that you failed to take reasonable protective action after the loss. Animals, opportunistic trespassers, and weather events compound the repair scope daily — turning a one-week job into a six-week project.
An open structure is also a legal liability. Injuries on your unsecured property — even by trespassers — can expose you to personal injury claims under Wisconsin premises liability law. Don't wait. Call Allied Emergency Services right now: (800) 792-0212. We respond in one hour.
De Pere, Wisconsin is a vibrant city of approximately 25,000 residents situated along both sides of the Fox River in Brown County, directly south of Green Bay. The city is characterized by a strong mix of established residential neighborhoods and a growing commercial base, making storm damage response a complex and community-critical service. Neighborhoods like Westwood Estates, Deer Run, Fox Hills, and the historic West De Pere districts contain a wide variety of housing stock — from post-war ranch homes with aging rooflines to newer subdivisions with modern construction — each presenting unique board-up and restoration challenges when storms strike.
De Pere's geography plays a significant role in storm damage patterns. The Fox River corridor creates a natural wind channel that can amplify gust speeds and funnel tornado-warned storms through the city's core. Properties near Voyageur Park, along the riverbank, and in low-lying areas adjacent to Baird Creek face compounding risks from both wind and water when major storm systems push through northeastern Wisconsin. The communities of Ledgeview and Ashwaubenon border De Pere to the south and west, and our coverage area encompasses all of these surrounding areas as well.
St. Norbert College, one of De Pere's most recognizable landmarks, anchors the east side of the city along the Fox River. The surrounding residential areas include older brick construction and historic buildings that require careful, expert board-up techniques to avoid additional structural damage. Commercial properties along Main Avenue, Lawrence Drive, and the retail corridors near Oneida Street represent a significant portion of our commercial board-up work in the De Pere area. Our teams understand the specific construction methods, material types, and code requirements relevant to Brown County properties — local knowledge that separates Allied from generic national contractors.
De Pere's climate brings dramatic seasonal weather swings that are ideal storm damage territory. Severe spring and summer thunderstorms regularly produce baseball-sized hail, straight-line winds exceeding 70 mph, and tornadoes. Winter ice storms, heavy snow loads, and freeze-thaw cycles stress roofing systems. The transition months of October and April frequently produce the most damaging storm events in Brown County. Allied Emergency Services monitors active weather systems across northeast Wisconsin and positions resources ahead of forecast severe weather to ensure the fastest possible response.
Ready to dispatch to De Pere now
(800) 792-0212We handle every type of property securing emergency across De Pere and Brown County — residential, commercial, and everything in between. Call (800) 792-0212 for immediate dispatch.
Northeast Wisconsin severe weather — including the powerful thunderstorm complexes that roll across Lake Michigan and Lake Winnebago — can shatter windows, blow off roofing sections, collapse walls, and scatter debris through your home or business in minutes. Our storm board-up teams respond immediately, securing every opening and installing heavy-duty roof tarps to stop water infiltration while permanent repairs are arranged.
After a fire, your property faces a second wave of threats: weather entering through burned-out windows and walls, looters targeting unmonitored structures, and curious neighbors or children wandering into unstable areas. Fire board-up is more complex than storm board-up — burned framing may not support standard fastening, and smoke-compromised materials require careful handling. Allied's fire board-up teams are trained for post-fire environments and work safely amid compromised structures.
A burglarized property with smashed doors and broken windows is an immediate security and safety emergency. Whether your De Pere home was targeted overnight or your business storefront was broken into, Allied responds the same day to restore your property's security perimeter. We work directly with the police report timeline to document the breach and secure every entry point, giving you peace of mind while permanent repairs are scheduled.
Commercial properties in De Pere — from retail storefronts along Main Avenue to office buildings, restaurants, and industrial facilities — face unique challenges when storm or vandalism damage occurs. Large plate glass panels, aluminum storefronts, roll-up doors, and overhead openings require specialized equipment and expertise. Downtime means lost revenue, so Allied prioritizes after-hours commercial response and fast turnaround to get your business secured and operational again as quickly as possible.
De Pere and Brown County sit in one of the most active severe weather corridors in Wisconsin. Understanding the regional storm history helps property owners recognize why immediate board-up response is so critical in this area.
The peak storm season for De Pere brings organized convective systems tracking northeast from the Mississippi River valley. Supercell thunderstorms capable of producing large hail (one inch diameter and larger), damaging straight-line winds exceeding 70 mph, and tornadoes are a regular feature of Brown County summers. The Fox River valley acts as a natural storm corridor, and properties near the river and in low-lying areas face elevated wind and water exposure. Hail storms from this season historically account for the largest single-event insurance claim volumes in the region, shattering windows, denting siding, and perforating roofing membranes across entire neighborhoods simultaneously.
Spring in northeast Wisconsin is characterized by rapidly developing severe weather as warm Gulf moisture collides with cold Canadian air masses over Wisconsin. Derecho events — long-lived, bow-shaped storm systems producing wind damage corridors hundreds of miles long — have repeatedly impacted Brown County during spring transition months. These events produce widespread window breakage, roof damage, and structural openings across large swaths of residential and commercial property simultaneously, creating high demand for emergency board-up response. Properties with older roofing systems and aging window frames are particularly vulnerable.
As the Great Lakes reach their maximum stored heat in October and November, the temperature differential between the warm lake surface and invading cold air masses produces some of the most powerful non-thunderstorm wind events of the year. These post-frontal wind events can generate sustained winds of 40–55 mph with gusts topping 70 mph — enough to peel roofing materials, drive rain horizontally through window seals, topple trees onto structures, and damage soffits, fascia, and gutters. Properties that survived summer storms may suffer wind damage in fall when a powerful cold front sweeps across the Lake Michigan shoreline and into Brown County.
Northeast Wisconsin winters bring ice storm events that coat surfaces in one to two inches of glaze ice, adding hundreds of pounds of weight to roofing systems and snapping tree limbs onto structures. Heavy snowfall events — often measured in feet rather than inches when lake-effect snow from Green Bay and Lake Michigan combines with synoptic storms — can overload aging roof structures. The freeze-thaw cycles of late winter create ice dams along eaves that force water under shingles and into wall cavities, gradually compromising window frames and wall openings. Spring snowmelt combined with rain creates rapid water infiltration events that can require emergency response on a scale comparable to summer thunderstorm damage.

(800) 792-0212 — 24/7 ResponseIn the immediate aftermath of a storm, fire, or break-in, the instinct to handle things yourself is understandable. Hardware stores sell plywood. Most homeowners own a hammer. But DIY board-up introduces risks and complications that frequently cost more to resolve than professional service would have cost in the first place — and that's before considering the safety hazards involved.
Professional board-up uses materials and fastening methods specifically engineered for temporary property protection. Where a homeowner with plywood and nails risks splitting window frames, punching through drywall, and creating fastener holes that invite water infiltration later, professional technicians use properly sized lumber, hurricane-rated hardware, and fastening patterns that distribute load without damaging the surrounding structure. This matters enormously when it's time to install permanent replacement windows — a clean, undamaged frame is far easier and less expensive to work with than one that's been compromised by DIY board-up attempts.
Roof tarping is perhaps the most dangerous DIY temptation after storm damage. Climbing onto a damaged roof — especially one with weakened decking, missing shingles, or saturated insulation — is a serious fall hazard that kills and injures homeowners every year after major storms. Our crews have the harnesses, ladders, and experience to work safely on compromised roofing surfaces, installing properly weighted and secured tarps that won't blow off in the next wind event.
From an insurance standpoint, professional board-up documentation is essential. Insurance carriers want to see time-stamped photographs, detailed work logs, and itemized invoices from licensed contractors — not photos of DIY plywood and a handwritten materials list. Allied provides insurance-grade documentation as a standard part of every board-up job, giving you a clean, defensible record of your mitigation efforts that supports your claim rather than complicating it.
For commercial properties in De Pere, the stakes are even higher. Wisconsin building codes and local Brown County ordinances regulate temporary coverings on commercial structures. A DIY board-up that doesn't meet code requirements can result in citations, mandatory removal, and re-installation by a licensed contractor — a sequence that costs more and creates additional delays. Allied's commercial board-up work is done to code from the start, eliminating this risk entirely.
🔴 DO NOT enter a structurally compromised building. If storm, fire, or impact damage may have weakened floors, walls, or roof structure, stay outside until a professional assesses stability. The danger is not always visible from the exterior.

(800) 792-0212Emergency board-up is step one. Allied Emergency Services handles every phase of your recovery — from the moment we arrive to board up your De Pere property through the final restoration inspection. Here's the full process.
The moment you call, our dispatch team routes the nearest crew to your De Pere property. Within one hour, our technicians are on-site performing a rapid exterior assessment to identify all openings, structural risks, and immediate hazards. We begin boarding windows and doors, installing roof tarps, and clearing debris from entry points to halt further damage immediately. We work through any weather conditions — rain, darkness, cold — because stabilization cannot wait for daylight or dry skies.
Once the property is secured, our team conducts a comprehensive damage inspection and documentation process. We capture time-stamped photographs of every affected area — exterior and interior — from multiple angles. We produce detailed written damage logs identifying each damaged component, estimated scope of repair, and affected square footage. This documentation package is specifically formatted to meet the requirements of major Wisconsin homeowners and commercial insurance carriers, giving you a solid foundation when you present your claim.
We work alongside you as you navigate the insurance repair process. Our detailed documentation and itemized estimates are designed to align with what insurance adjusters need to approve restoration scopes. We communicate directly with your carrier's adjuster when invited to walk the damage together, ensuring that all affected areas are properly noted. We help you understand your restoration scope and timeline without pressure or exaggeration. Remember: we repair damage — your insurance carrier determines coverage and payment amounts.
With the insurance scope approved, Allied executes the full restoration using licensed crews, quality materials, and workmanship backed by warranty. Roofing restoration uses manufacturer-certified installation methods. Window replacement meets or exceeds original specifications for energy efficiency and impact resistance. Siding, soffit, fascia, and structural repairs are done to Brown County code. Interior water damage — drywall, insulation, flooring — is addressed comprehensively. We don't patch and walk away; we restore to pre-loss condition.
Before we consider a job complete, our project manager conducts a final walkthrough with you — the property owner — to inspect every repaired area, confirm all work meets your expectations, and address any remaining concerns. We provide documentation of completed work for your records and insurance file. Our goal is not just a repaired structure but a satisfied De Pere homeowner or business owner who knows exactly what was done and why. Our work is backed by warranty, and we stand behind it.
Reviews represent typical customer experiences.
"A summer thunderstorm blew through De Pere around midnight and took out two of our front windows — glass everywhere, rain pouring in. Allied was at our door in under an hour. The crew was professional, had everything boarded up tight before the next band of rain came through, and their documentation made our insurance claim process incredibly smooth. I can't say enough about how much stress they saved us."
"We had a hail storm punch through our roof in multiple spots during a severe weather outbreak last spring. I called Allied at 6 AM and they were there by 7:15. They got heavy tarps over the entire damaged section before more rain came through, and their inspection found additional soffit and shingle damage we hadn't even noticed. Their report was exactly what our insurance adjuster needed. Highly recommend for any emergency."
"Our storefront on Main Avenue was broken into overnight, and we couldn't open for business with shattered plate glass and a kicked-in door. Allied responded within the hour, secured everything professionally, and worked around our business hours so we could reopen the next morning. They coordinated directly with our commercial insurance carrier and handled all the documentation. This is the company you want on speed dial in De Pere."
