Professional Board-Up Services Around Turtle Creek
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 caused by leaving a building open may be denied. Professional board-up, with photos and an invoice, shows you met that obligation.
There is a right way to do it. Good crews use 5/8 inch or thicker exterior plywood, screws or carriage bolts instead of nails, and 2x4 strongbacks across wide 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 Turtle Creek callers with independent, licensed and insured board-up contractors who respond around the clock.

Board-Up and Securing Solutions Around Turtle Creek
Every opening gets secured with the right method.
Window Board-Up
Broken windows are covered with exterior plywood cut to fit, fastened with screws or through-bolted from inside with 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
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
Vacant and foreclosed properties are secured against squatters and vandalism, often with heavier plywood and tamper-resistant fasteners.
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. For ground-level windows and storefronts, crews often through-bolt with carriage bolts and interior strongbacks, leaving nothing to grip from outside. Upper windows are usually secured with structural screws.
Roof openings get reinforced, heavy-duty tarps. Where possible the tarp goes over the ridge and is held with screwed batten strips so wind cannot lift it.
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.
