The Board-Up Process
After a fire, securing your property as quickly as possible is critical to prevent further damage, theft, and vandalism. Fire board-up services help protect your home or business by covering broken windows, doors, and other exposed areas until permanent repairs can be made.

Phase 1
Rapid Response
We’ll immediately arrive on-site equipped and ready to handle board-ups of various scopes and sizes. Our team will perform a detailed inspection of your property to identify all the key areas that need to be boarded up. Once the inspection is done we can formulate a detailed fire restoration plan.

Phase 2
Board-Up and Roof Tarping
Following the inspection, we will get started on closing any and all openings on your property that might lead to damage due to the elements, vandals, or wildlife. The windows and entryways will be board up with plywood, while if there is some damage to your roof we will use tarps to make sure that no water or debris enter your property. Our thorough fire board up services ensure that your property is protected.
What Sets A&J Apart
Working with a professional restoration company can make all the difference. From specialized equipment and rapid response to insurance documentation and an experienced local team, A&J is with you every step of the way.
One team, start to finish
Most restoration companies dry your property and hand you off to someone else for repairs. As a licensed general contractor, A&J handles everything under one roof, from emergency cleanup through drywall, flooring, and full structural rebuilds.
Advanced Resources
IICRC-certified technicians using commercial-grade extraction, drying, and dehumidification equipment, plus moisture meters and thermal imaging to find water you can’t see. We monitor readings daily until your property is verifiably dry, not just dry to the touch.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
We’re not finished until you say we are. Every job ends with your walkthrough and sign-off, and every rebuild is backed by our 3 year rebuild warranty, so you’re covered long after the trucks leave.
24/7 Emergency Board-Up Services
After the fire trucks leave, your home is standing open. Broken windows, burned-through doors, holes in the roof, and everything the fire didn’t take is now exposed to rain, wind, intruders, and animals. Every hour it stays open adds to the loss, and your insurance policy likely requires you to secure the property after a fire.
A&J’s local crews answer around the clock to board windows and doors, tarp roof damage, and fence off hazards, so what survived the fire stays protected. One call and your home is secured tonight, not tomorrow.
