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.
Our Board Up Services scope covers plywood board-up, roof tarping, and temporary fencing — whatever it takes to fully close off a Columbus, OH property 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.
Local staging is why our Columbus 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 Columbus 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.
Columbus, OH municipalities in many areas have specific requirements for temporary securing of a fire-damaged structure, including minimum plywood thickness and fastening standards.
More than once we've arrived to reinforce a board-up job that looked fine but wasn't actually fastened to withstand real wind load — 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 Columbus 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.
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.
Before boarding, our crew checks whether the opening itself indicates a larger structural concern that needs flagging.
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 Columbus properties within the hour.
The crew lead evaluates every opening and gives you a same-visit price before any boarding begins.
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."
— Trent L., Columbus
"The tarping held through a full week of storms until our roofer could get out."
— Faith O., Columbus
"I appreciated that they didn't just board over a problem without mentioning it looked serious."
— Damon R., Columbus
Our emergency Board Up Services crews cover Columbus and extend across Columbus, OH, with materials staged locally for immediate dispatch.
