Break-In Repair
After the police report, the door still gapes. Same-visit securing is the part we can fix tonight.
What this service actually involves
A break-in leaves two problems: the damage and the fact that the address no longer feels safe. The visit answers both, splintered frames get stabilized and boarded where needed, broken locks replaced, bent strikes and latches renewed, and every lock rekeyed on the honest assumption that keys may have walked. The goal is a household that locks tonight, not next week.
The rebuild conversation follows the securing: reinforced strikes and longer screws where the frame gave, a real deadbolt where a knob-lock failed, and upgrades matched to how the entry actually happened rather than to a catalog. Insurance documentation, photos and an itemized invoice, comes standard.
Questions, answered straight
They kicked the frame apart. Can tonight be safe?
Yes, stabilizing and securing a kicked frame same-visit is the core of this service, with the finish carpentry scheduled after. You sleep behind a locking door tonight.
Should everything be rekeyed after a burglary?
Yes. Assume keys were taken even if you cannot prove it; rekeying every cylinder is cheap insurance against a return visit.
Do you handle the insurance paperwork side?
You get an itemized invoice and clear documentation of damage and work done, which is what adjusters ask for.
