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.
Our Board Up Services scope covers plywood board-up, roof tarping, and temporary fencing — whatever it takes to fully close off a Long Lake, MN property 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.
Local staging is why our Long Lake response times consistently beat crews driving in from out of the area.
Emergency board-up is priced the same regardless of the hour you call.
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.
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.
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.
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.
