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.
Call +1-866-484-1409 Now
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.
Board-up materials and crews are staged locally in Philadelphia rather than dispatched from a distant regional office.
There's no after-hours premium tacked onto Board Up Services emergency dispatch.
A detail Philadelphia 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.
Philadelphia, PA 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 Philadelphia 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.
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.
An exposed fire-damaged property is a target; our board-up specifically closes off easy entry points.
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.
Pricing for the full Board Up Services scope is confirmed on-site, in minutes, not over a callback.
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."

"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."

Our emergency Board Up Services crews cover Philadelphia and extend across Philadelphia, PA, 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 Philadelphia. We document every completed Board Up Services job with photos, giving Philadelphia property owners a clear record of the work performed.
