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.

Overnight calls get the same live response and urgency as a weekday afternoon call.
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 Media rather than dispatched from a distant regional office.
There's no after-hours premium tacked onto Board Up Services emergency dispatch.
A detail Media 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.
Media, 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 Media 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.
Perimeter fencing keeps unauthorized foot traffic off an unstable Media property while repairs are pending.
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.
Calling +1-866-484-1409 connects you to a live coordinator who dispatches a board-up crew immediately, any hour.
A board-up crew, loaded with plywood, tarp, and fencing materials, typically reaches Media properties within the hour.
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.
