An open window, a missing door, or exposed roofing after a fire is an invitation for weather damage, theft, and liability, all before the sun goes down. 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.
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 Long Lake rather than dispatched from a distant regional office.
There's no after-hours premium tacked onto Board Up Services emergency dispatch.
A detail Long Lake 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.
Long Lake, MN 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.
Most Long Lake 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.
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 Long Lake property while repairs are pending.
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.
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 Long Lake and extend across Long Lake, MN, 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 Long Lake. We document every completed Board Up Services job with photos, giving Long Lake property owners a clear record of the work performed.
