A damaged structure left unsecured overnight often suffers more from weather and vandalism than it did from the original fire. Fire Damage Laser Cleaning's Board Up Services crews respond fast specifically to close that window.
We board windows and doors with weather-rated plywood, tarp compromised roofing sections, and where needed set up temporary fencing to keep the property secure until repairs begin from further exposure.

A dispatcher answers +1-866-484-1409 around the clock, because fires don't wait for business hours.
Our tarping and board-up materials are rated to withstand real weather, not just look secure temporarily.
Local staging is why our Crofton response times consistently beat crews driving in from out of the area.
There's no after-hours premium tacked onto Board Up Services emergency dispatch.
A detail Crofton homeowners don't always think about is that a poorly secured board-up can actually violate local code or void certain insurance provisions if it's not installed to a minimum standard — plywood alone, loosely nailed, often doesn't meet that bar.
Crofton, MD municipalities in many areas have specific requirements for temporary securing of a fire-damaged structure, including minimum plywood thickness and fastening standards.
More than once we've arrived to reinforce a board-up job that looked fine but wasn't actually fastened to withstand real wind load — which is the exact scenario proper materials and fastening are meant to prevent.
A typical Board Up Services visit, from arrival to a fully secured property, usually wraps within two hours for Crofton calls, which is fast enough to beat an incoming storm in most cases.
Broken or missing windows and doors get sealed with weather-rated plywood cut to fit and properly fastened.
Compromised roofing sections get covered with heavy-duty tarp anchored to withstand wind before the next storm arrives.
For larger losses, we install temporary fencing to control site access and reduce liability exposure.
We prioritize the entry points most likely to invite unwanted access when securing a property overnight.
Before boarding, our crew checks whether the opening itself indicates a larger structural concern that needs flagging.
Calling +1-866-484-1409 connects you to a live coordinator who dispatches a board-up crew immediately, any hour.
Materials come pre-loaded on the response vehicle so there's no delay picking up supplies en route.
The crew lead evaluates every opening and gives you a same-visit price before any boarding begins.
The property isn't left until every window, door, and roof opening is properly secured.
"Called at 10pm after a garage fire, and the whole property was secured within the hour."
