Professional Board-Up Services Around Fayette
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. A documented professional board-up shows you met that requirement.
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.
We are a free referral service; independent crews do the board-up work. We connect Fayette callers with independent, licensed and insured board-up contractors who respond around the clock.

Board-Up and Securing Solutions Around Fayette
Each type of opening calls for its own method.
Window Board-Up
Broken windows are covered with exterior plywood cut to fit, fastened with screws or through-bolted from inside with strongbacks. It holds up against wind, rain and pry bars.
Door & Entry Securing
Damaged doors get a lockable temporary plywood door, so you and the crews keep access.
Roof Tarping
Fire ventilation cuts, burn-through and storm damage are covered with reinforced tarps secured with batten strips screwed through the decking. It keeps water out until the roof is repaired.
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
Chain-link panels around badly damaged or unsafe structures keep people out and reduce liability.
Vacant Property Securing
For vacant properties, crews use heavier plywood and tamper-resistant fasteners to deter squatters and vandals.
How a Professional Board-Up Is Built
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.
Professional board-up uses exterior plywood, typically 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch, cut to 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.
