Commercial Board Up in Bloomington

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

Commercial board-up has a second job beyond securing the building: keeping the business presentable and operable where possible. Describe the property type, the frontage, and whether the space is still occupied when you make the request.

What this service covers

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

Common warning signs

  • Broken storefront glass on a street-facing unit
  • A service or loading door that will not secure
  • Openings in a building with tenants still operating
  • Repeated entry attempts at a vacant unit

Typical causes

  • Break-in and smash-and-grab entry
  • Vehicle impact at storefronts and bollards
  • Storm damage to glazing and exterior systems
  • Fire and suppression damage in a tenant space

What to do first

  • Secure the interior and account for inventory if safe
  • Notify affected tenants and building management
  • Photograph the openings and the frontage
  • Request board-up and describe the property and occupancy

What a provider may assess

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