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.

Overnight calls get the same live response and urgency as a weekday afternoon call.
We use construction-grade plywood and proper fasteners, not scrap material, so the board-up survives wind and rain.
Board-up materials and crews are staged locally in Windermere rather than dispatched from a distant regional office.
There's no after-hours premium tacked onto Board Up Services emergency dispatch.
A detail Windermere 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.
Several Windermere jurisdictions require board-up work to meet a documented minimum standard, which is part of why we don't treat this as a quick, informal fix.
We've been called out to re-secure properties where a previous board-up attempt, done by a well-meaning family member, didn't hold through the first storm — which is the exact scenario proper materials and fastening are meant to prevent.
Most Windermere board-up jobs are completed start to finish in under two hours, even for a multi-window loss, 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.
Perimeter fencing keeps unauthorized foot traffic off an unstable Windermere property while repairs are pending.
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.
A board-up crew, loaded with plywood, tarp, and fencing materials, typically reaches Windermere properties within the hour.
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.
"They had every window boarded before it even started raining that night."

"The tarping held through a full week of storms until our roofer could get out."

"I appreciated that they didn't just board over a problem without mentioning it looked serious."
