Professional Board-Up Services Around Granby
After a fire, burglary, vehicle impact or storm, board-up is what protects the property until permanent repairs are made. An unsecured building can take on rain, get looted or be occupied by squatters within a single night.
Nearly every property policy requires reasonable steps to prevent additional loss. Damage that happens because a building was left open may not be covered. Professional board-up, with photos and an invoice, shows you met that obligation.
There is a right way to do it. Experienced crews use 5/8 inch or thicker exterior-grade plywood, fasten with screws or through-bolts rather than nails, and install 2x4 strongbacks across larger openings. That makes it difficult to remove from outside and gentle on window frames.
Re Fire Me is a free referral service and does not perform board-up. We connect Granby callers with independent, licensed and insured board-up contractors who respond around the clock.

Board-Up and Securing Solutions Around Granby
Each type of opening calls for its own method.
Window Board-Up
Plywood is cut to size and either screwed in place or through-bolted with interior strongbacks. That holds against weather and pry bars.
Door & Entry Securing
Forced or burned doors are covered or replaced with temporary plywood doors that lock, so you and your contractors can still get in.
Roof Tarping
Roof openings are covered with heavy tarps held down with screwed batten strips, not weights. That keeps water out until permanent roofing goes on.
Storefront & Commercial Board-Up
Large storefront glass, display windows and commercial entries are secured quickly so the business can protect inventory and limit downtime.
Temporary Fencing
Temporary chain-link fencing keeps people away from unsafe buildings and lowers liability.
Vacant Property Securing
Vacant and foreclosed properties are secured against squatters and vandalism, often with heavier plywood and tamper-resistant fasteners.
What Separates a Solid Board-Up From a Quick Patch
A quick patch is a sheet of thin plywood nailed to the outside trim. It can blow off in a storm, comes off with a pry bar in seconds and leaves split trim and nail holes behind.
A professional board-up starts with exterior-grade plywood, usually 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch, cut to fit the opening. On ground-floor windows and storefronts, crews often through-bolt the panel with carriage bolts and 2x4 strongbacks on the inside, so there is nothing to grab from outside. Upper-floor windows are typically fastened with structural screws.
Roofs get reinforced tarps, not lightweight hardware-store tarps. Where possible the tarp goes over the ridge and is held with screwed batten strips so wind cannot lift it.
Doorways need to stay usable. Good crews build a hinged plywood door with a hasp and padlock so you, the adjuster and contractors can get in.
Board-up is usually the first line on your insurance claim, so documentation matters. Ask the crew to photograph every opening before and after it is secured and to provide an itemized invoice showing materials and labor. Keep those records with your claim paperwork. If the board-up stays in place for weeks while repairs are scheduled, check it after storms and call the contractor if anything loosens, because a failed board-up can lead to new damage.
Board-Up Calls We Take Day and Night
After a house fire
Firefighters break windows and force doors to fight the fire. Board-up secures every opening the same night and creates a lockable entry for the restoration crew and your adjuster.
After a burglary
A broken door or window after a break-in leaves the property vulnerable to a second visit. Crews secure the opening with through-bolted plywood until the glass or door can be replaced.
Vehicle into a building
A car through a storefront or home creates a large, irregular opening that may involve damaged framing. Crews secure the opening and, when needed, install temporary bracing until a contractor can assess the structure.
Storm and tree damage
High winds blow out windows and drop trees through roofs. Board-up and roof tarping keep rain out until permanent repairs can be scheduled.
Commercial glass after hours
A broken storefront or office window at night leaves inventory and equipment exposed. Crews secure the opening so the business can protect its contents and open the next day, then the glass company replaces it.

Common Board-Up Questions in Granby
How fast can a board-up crew get to my property in Granby?
Local independent crews can often reach you within a few hours, even overnight. The dispatcher will give you an honest estimate based on availability.
Does insurance cover board-up services?
After a covered loss, board-up is typically covered since it prevents more damage. Keep the invoice and photos for your claim.
Why do professionals use screws or bolts instead of nails?
Screws and through-bolts hold better, are harder to pry off from outside and cause less damage to window frames when the plywood is removed.
How long can board-up stay in place?
Well-installed exterior plywood can stay for weeks or months until repairs are done. Roof tarps may need checking after storms.
Is Re Fire Me the board-up company?
No. Re Fire Me is a free referral service. The work is done by independent, licensed and insured contractors who are responsible for it.
Can board-up services secure a property after a break-in, not just a fire?
Yes. Board-up crews secure properties after burglaries, vandalism, vehicle impacts, storms and fires. They also secure vacant buildings against trespassers.
