Emergency Board-Up and Storm Damage Repair in Palmyra, MO — Call Us, Let's Fix It.

Call (314) 310-6688 first. ShowMe Doors & Windows will respond to board up all damaged window and door openings, photograph and document each damaged opening before board-up, measure each opening for the replacement specification, and provide the written damage assessment for your insurance claim. Do not attempt to remove broken glass from window openings before the documentation visit — the pre-board-up photographs establish the storm damage origin for the insurance claim and should capture the opening in the post-storm condition. If the opening is creating a safety hazard from broken glass exposure, move away from the area and wait for the board-up visit.

Hail damage to window glass in Palmyra, MO is typically covered under the dwelling structure coverage of a standard homeowner's insurance policy — the hail impact damage to double-pane IGU outer panes and storm door glass and panels is treated as dwelling damage in the same category as hail damage to roofing and siding. ShowMe Doors & Windows documents hail damage to window and door glass in the per-opening format that insurance adjusters use to evaluate hail damage dwelling claims. Whether a specific policy covers hail damage to window glass depends on the policy terms and the coverage amounts — contact your insurance agent for the specific coverage applicable to your policy.

ShowMe Doors & Windows holds the board-up openings until the insurance claim approval is confirmed and the replacement glass or door is ready for installation. For single-pane glass replacement, the board-up is typically in place three to seven days — the glass is cut to dimension and re-glazed on the return visit within that window. For double-pane IGU replacement, the board-up may be in place seven to fourteen days while the replacement IGU is fabricated to the existing opening dimension. For storm door and entry door replacement, the lead time depends on the replacement door specification and stock availability. We communicate the timeline at the board-up visit and update the homeowner when the replacement is ready to schedule.

Not necessarily. ShowMe Doors & Windows inspects each west-facing double-pane window at hail damage calls and assesses the impact damage at each position individually. Minor outer pane impact stars that have not cracked through the outer pane or compromised the IGU inner pane seal may not require immediate replacement — we document the impact site and advise on the monitoring approach where the damage does not yet warrant replacement. Where the outer pane has cracked through or the IGU seal has been compromised by the impact shock, IGU replacement is appropriate. The insurance claim documentation covers all impacted positions regardless of the replacement recommendation.

ShowMe Doors & Windows provides the damage documentation that supports the homeowner's insurance claim — photographs, written damage assessments, and per-opening replacement specifications and pricing in the format that insurance adjusters use for claim evaluation. We communicate with the homeowner on the documentation and timeline and provide the documentation the homeowner submits to the insurance company. We do not negotiate directly with insurance companies on claim settlements or provide assignment of benefits — the claim relationship is between the homeowner and the insurance company.

Emergency board-up pricing in Palmyra runs $85 to $195 per opening for plywood board-up at standard residential window and door opening sizes — the pricing varies by the opening dimension and the number of openings at the same property. Multi-opening board-up at the same property call reduces the per-opening cost versus single-opening emergency calls. Storm damage documentation for insurance claims is included in the board-up visit at no additional charge. Call ShowMe Doors & Windows at (314) 310-6688 for the emergency response and the specific assessment and pricing at your Palmyra storm damage call.
