Professional Board-Up Services Around Wood Village
After a fire, burglary, vehicle impact or storm, board-up is what protects the property until permanent repairs are made. In one night, an open building can take on water, be looted or end up with someone sleeping inside.
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.
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.
Re Fire Me is a free referral service and does not perform board-up. We connect Wood Village callers with independent, licensed and insured board-up contractors who respond around the clock.

Board-Up and Securing Solutions Around Wood Village
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
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
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
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.
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, can be pried off in seconds and leaves nail holes and split trim behind.
A professional board-up starts with exterior-grade plywood, usually 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch, cut to fit the opening. For ground-level windows and storefronts, crews often through-bolt with carriage bolts and interior strongbacks, leaving nothing to grip from outside. Upper-floor windows are typically fastened 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. 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.

Board-Up Service Questions
How fast can a board-up crew get to my property in Wood Village?
Local independent crews can often reach you within a few hours, even overnight. You will get an honest arrival estimate from the dispatcher.
Does insurance cover board-up services?
Board-up after a covered loss like a fire or storm is usually covered because it prevents further 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 can also secure vacant buildings against trespassing.
