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 Watkins, MN property 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 Watkins rather than dispatched from a distant regional office.
Emergency board-up is priced the same regardless of the hour you call.
A detail Watkins 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.
Watkins, 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.
A typical Board Up Services visit, from arrival to a fully secured property, usually wraps within two hours for Watkins 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.
Perimeter fencing keeps unauthorized foot traffic off an unstable Watkins 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.
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.
