Garage Door Exposed or Insecure? Get Emergency Board-Up & Secure Service 24/7

When your garage door suffers physical damage or mechanical failure that leaves it open, stuck, or compromised, your home or business becomes an easy target for weather, theft, and pests. Whether the damage happened during a storm, break-in, or accident—securing the opening immediately is critical.

That’s why 313 Garage Doors offers rapid-response, professional emergency garage door board-up and securement services across Metro Detroit. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we show up when others won’t—to protect what matters most.


Why Board-Up and Securement is a Garage Door Emergency

Garage doors don’t just open and close—they also provide a barrier between your valuables and the outside world. When that barrier is broken, time is of the essence.

Leaving a garage door open or exposed can lead to:

  • Theft or unauthorized entry

  • Weather damage (rain, snow, wind, heat)

  • Pest infestation (rodents, birds, insects)

  • Injuries or liability issues

  • Insurance complications if left unsecured

  • Reduced security for your entire home or building

Whether you need to protect your residential property, storefront, or warehouse, we provide professional board-up and securement that lasts—until permanent repairs are done.
