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 Manville rather than dispatched from a distant regional office.
Emergency board-up is priced the same regardless of the hour you call.
A detail Manville 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.
Manville, NJ municipalities in many areas have specific requirements for temporary securing of a fire-damaged structure, including minimum plywood thickness and fastening standards.
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.
A typical Board Up Services visit, from arrival to a fully secured property, usually wraps within two hours for Manville calls, which is fast enough to beat an incoming storm in most cases.
Every open window and door gets boarded with material sized and secured to actually hold, not just cover the gap.
We tarp exposed roofing immediately to stop water intrusion into the attic and living space below.
Perimeter fencing keeps unauthorized foot traffic off an unstable Manville 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.
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.
We don't consider the job done until the structure is genuinely weathertight and access-controlled.

Our emergency Board Up Services crews cover Manville and extend across Manville, NJ, with materials staged locally for immediate dispatch.
Board-up materials are staged in bulk locally so a multi-property loss, like an apartment building, doesn't create a materials bottleneck across Manville. We document every completed Board Up Services job with photos, giving Manville property owners a clear record of the work performed.
