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.
Local staging is why our Long Lake 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 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.
Meeting local code on temporary securing isn't just about doing a thorough job — in many Long Lake, MN areas, it's actually required.
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 Long Lake 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.
We flag any opening that looks like it's tied to a bigger structural issue rather than just boarding over it.
Our +1-866-484-1409 line is staffed 24/7 specifically for this kind of time-sensitive call.
A board-up crew, loaded with plywood, tarp, and fencing materials, typically reaches Long Lake properties within the hour.
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.
