Professional Board-Up Services Around Sicklerville
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 caused by leaving a building open may be denied. Professional board-up, with photos and an invoice, shows you met that obligation.
Board-up done properly looks different from a few sheets nailed over a window. 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 route Sicklerville calls to independent, licensed and insured crews available 24 hours a day.

Board-Up Services Available in Sicklerville
Every opening gets secured with the right 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
Damaged doors get a lockable temporary plywood door, so you and the crews keep access.
Roof Tarping
Roof openings are covered with heavy tarps held down with screwed batten strips, not weights. It keeps water out until the roof is repaired.
Storefront & Commercial Board-Up
Storefront glass, display windows and commercial doors are secured fast to protect inventory and reduce 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, can be pried off in seconds and leaves nail holes and split trim 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 windows are usually secured with structural screws.
Roof openings get reinforced, heavy-duty tarps. The tarp is wrapped over the ridge where possible and held with wood batten strips screwed through to the decking, so wind cannot get underneath.
Doors need access. A good crew builds a temporary plywood door on hinges with a hasp and padlock, so you, your adjuster and your restoration contractor can get in without removing the board-up.
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.
