Professional Board-Up Services Around Breckenridge
Board-up is the first line of defense after a fire, a break-in, a vehicle crash into a building or storm damage. An unsecured building can take on rain, get looted or be occupied by squatters within a single night.
Most insurance policies include a duty to mitigate, meaning you are expected to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Damage caused by leaving a building open may be denied. A documented professional board-up shows you met that requirement.
Board-up done properly looks different from a few sheets nailed over a window. 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.
We are a free referral service; independent crews do the board-up work. We route Breckenridge calls to independent, licensed and insured crews available 24 hours a day.

Board-Up Services Available in Breckenridge
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. 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
Temporary chain-link fencing keeps people away from unsafe buildings and lowers 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 windows are usually secured 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 Breckenridge
How fast can a board-up crew get to my property in Breckenridge?
Many independent crews near Breckenridge can arrive within a few hours, including 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. Tarps should be checked after heavy weather.
Is Re Fire Me the board-up company?
No, we are 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?
