Signs you need emergency board-up and tarping

After a fire, an open building is exposed to weather, animals, and intruders. These are signs to secure it right away.

  • Broken or missing windows and doors

    Openings left by the fire or firefighting need boarding up to keep the property secure until repairs begin.

  • Holes in the roof

    A burned or vented roof lets rain in on the already-damaged interior and needs tarping to keep water out.

  • Exposed, unsecured rooms

    Open walls and entryways leave the home open to intruders and further loss until they are secured.

  • Rain in the forecast

    With the structure compromised, incoming weather can turn fire damage into water damage overnight.

  • An unoccupied, damaged property

    A vacant fire-damaged building is a target for theft and vandalism, so securing it protects what remains.

Seeing any of these in Boulder? Don't wait. Call (844) 810-6096 for a fast, no-pressure assessment.

What our emergency board-up & tarping includes

A complete, professional process from first response to final restoration.

  • Window & door board-up

    Checked by the lead technician and walked with you before we call this part done.

  • Roof tarping

    Carried out by qualified professionals with the commercial equipment this step actually needs.

  • Site security

    Handled by the same staff from the first visit to the last, with one point of contact throughout.

  • Weather protection

    Photographed and logged as we work, so your insurer sees exactly what was done.

How Our Process Works

Our proven process secures your property and rebuilds it on the fastest path back to normal.

  1. Emergency Assessment

    Our professionals secure the impacted area, inspect the soot and smoke, and explain the plan before any work begins.

  2. Soot & Smoke Removal

    Our staff clears the soot and smoke residue to stop the loss from etching and staining surfaces.

  3. Deodorize & Treat

    Surface cleaning alone won't cut it, so we deodorize the air and materials until the smoke smell is gone for good.

  4. Restore to Pre-Loss

    We rebuild the impacted area to pre-loss condition, from framing and drywall to paint and flooring.

Why fast action matters

Emergency Board-Up & Tarping is time-sensitive. The longer you wait, the more it spreads and the more it costs.

  • It gets worse over time

    Left untreated, the problem spreads and becomes harder and costlier to resolve.

  • Secondary damage

    Delays often lead to additional damage to materials, structure, or surrounding areas.

  • Health and safety risks

    Situations like this can carry real health or safety risks until they're properly handled.

What affects the cost of board-up

Emergency securing depends on how much is exposed. Main factors:

  • Number of openings

    How many windows, doors, and wall sections need boarding sets the materials and labor.

    Upper floors and hard-to-reach openings take more equipment and time to secure safely.

Fire Damage in Boulder: What to Know

Straight answers on how fire damage restoration works, what it costs, and how insurance fits in, so you know what to expect before you call.

  • The Types of Smoke Residue

    Fires leave wet smoke, dry smoke, protein residue, or fuel-oil soot, and each one bonds to surfaces differently. Identifying the residue type is what determines the right cleaning method, because the wrong one can set a stain permanently.

  • Why Smoke Odor Lingers

    Smoke particles are small enough to penetrate drywall, insulation, and ductwork, so a room can look clean yet still smell. Surface cleaning isn't enough. Thermal fogging, ozone, and hydroxyl treatment neutralize the odor at its source.

  • Why Board-Up Can't Wait

    Open windows and a damaged roof expose your property to weather, theft, and further loss, and insurers expect you to mitigate. Emergency board-up and roof tarping in the first hours protects the structure while the cleanup is planned.

  • Soot Is Acidic, and Time Matters

    Within hours, acidic soot begins to etch glass, corrode metal and electronics, and stain walls. The sooner soot and smoke residue are removed, the more of your home and belongings can be saved.

  • One Team: Cleanup Through Rebuild

    We handle the whole recovery under one roof, covering board-up, soot and smoke cleanup, deodorization, and full structural rebuild back to pre-loss condition, so you never have to hand off to a second contractor mid-project.

What our crew handles

Our Fire Damage Services in Boulder

Full-service fire recovery for every kind of fire, residential and commercial, from emergency board-up and soot removal to complete rebuild.

  • Smoke Damage Cleanup

    Smoke film lands on walls and ceilings fast, and it digs in deeper the longer it sits. University Hill's dense shared rental stock means one kitchen fire can smoke several units at once. Our crew clears it before it sets into plaster, trim, and shared hallways nearby.

    More about Smoke Damage Cleanup

  • Soot Removal

    Soot is acidic, pitting metal fixtures and eating into glass within a few untouched hours. Turn-of-the-20th-century Queen Anne and Victorian finishes in the Highland Lawn Historic District are especially vulnerable. We start with dry chemical sponges, then wet cleaning where that alone falls short.

    How our Soot Removal works

  • Fire Damage Cleanup

    Once the fire trucks leave, the structure is still holding char, ash, and the water crews used to put it out. Colorado winters mean an unheated, wet structure freezes fast, so our crew clears debris and stabilizes the site across Boulder County before that second loss can set in.

    More about Fire Damage Cleanup

  • Smoke Odor Removal

    Spraying over a smoke smell buys an hour at best, the odor always comes back. Thermal fogging, ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, and HEPA air scrubbing go after it at the source. Regional wildfire-season smoke can settle into homes near open space with no flame touching the structure.

    More about Smoke Odor Removal

  • Structural Repair & Rebuild

    Bringing a room back to pre-loss condition means real reframing, fresh drywall, and full refinishing, not a quick patch job. A Highland Lawn or Chautauqua-area home needs period trim and texture matched, not generic patchwork, so repaired rooms actually blend with the rest of the house.

    How our Structural Repair & Rebuild works

  • Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

    We inventory everything, pack it out, and clean it off-site in secure storage while your Boulder home is repaired. Keepsakes, furniture, and electronics get itemized before anything leaves the property, then packed back in once repairs and odor treatment are fully finished.

    More about Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

  • Fire & Water Damage Restoration

    Firefighting water left in place freezes solid in a Colorado winter and grows mold once summer arrives. Our crew extracts water and structurally dries the property first, then handles soot and smoke cleanup, one team covering both stages without a second company involved.

    More about Fire & Water Damage Restoration

  • Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

    Crew size flexes with the size of the loss, which is exactly what keeps a business's downtime short. Pearl Street Mall storefronts and Twenty Ninth Street retail get after-hours scheduling and insurer coordination so a business reopens sooner than waiting on one small crew alone to finish.

    More about Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

  • Puff-Back Cleaning

    Oily black soot from a furnace puff-back spreads across walls, ceilings, and ductwork within minutes. Oil furnaces are uncommon in Boulder County, where gas and electric heat dominate, but when it happens our crew uses degreasing agents built for oily soot, not standard smoke cleaning.

    How our Puff-Back Cleaning works

  • Wildfire Smoke Remediation

    The City of Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks department manages roughly 8,000 acres of protected forest immediately west of town under an active wildfire-risk-reduction program. Homes closest to that land can take on smoke and ash with no flame contact. We run exterior ash cleanup, HEPA filtration, then deodorization.

    More about Wildfire Smoke Remediation

  • Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

    Smoke pulled into forced-air ducts keeps recirculating soot and odor long after the visible surfaces look clean. This pairs directly with regional wildfire smoke here, since ash drawn in through a running system keeps re-contaminating rooms already cleaned. We run duct cleaning paired with HEPA filtration.

    More about Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

  • Chimney Fire Cleanup

    Boulder's turn-of-the-century historic homes and older west-side stock are where wood-burning fireplaces cluster, and Colorado winters mean real use. Not every home has one, but we clean creosote and soot around the firebox and nearby walls. Hold off on the next fire until someone qualified checks the flue.
