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 Fort Myers? 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

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

  • Roof tarping

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

  • Site security

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

  • Weather protection

    Scheduled around your household, with a clear start time and a realistic finish date.

How Our Process Works

From emergency board-up to the final rebuild, here's exactly how your emergency board-up & tarping unfolds.

  1. Board Up & Assess

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

  2. Cleanup & Deodorize

    We remove the residue right away, then deodorize with thermal fogging and air scrubbing.

  3. Clean & Treat

    We treat every damaged surface and the air so the damage and smell don't come back.

  4. Rebuild & Restore

    Our experts carefully repair and return your house so you'd never know there was a fire.

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.

Below is a plain-English look at typical costs before any estimate is written.

Estimated price ranges for Emergency Board-Up & Tarping in Fort Myers, FL. These are typical national estimates, not a quote.

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.

  • Roof tarping

    The size and pitch of any roof opening affects the tarping work needed to keep water out.

  • Access and height

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

Who pays for this

How insurance works after emergency board-up & tarping

Most standard homeowners policies cover sudden, accidental damage like this, and you usually pay only your deductible. Many policies also help with temporary living costs while your house is repaired.

  • We work from your policy, not against it, and keep the paperwork moving so the claim does not stall.
  • We bill your insurer directly and speak their language, so you are not stuck in the middle of the claim.
  • Call us before you throw anything away. What looks ruined is often part of the claim.

Fire Damage in Fort Myers: 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 Fort Myers

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

    Greasy smoke film settles onto walls and ceilings fast, staining the longer it sits untreated. Pre-1960s interiors in Edison Park, Dean Park, and the Downtown core hold residue in older plaster and painted wood trim. Our crew clears the film before it sets in.

    See Smoke Damage Cleanup details

  • Soot Removal

    Left untreated, acidic soot starts pitting metal and etching glass within a matter of hours. The historic core's original fixtures and window glass show that damage first. Our process starts with dry sponging, then shifts to wet soot cleaning wherever dry methods fall short.

    How our Soot Removal works

  • Fire Damage Cleanup

    Once the fire is out, the structure is still left holding char, ash, and the water crews used to put it out. Our crews clear and stabilize sites from Downtown and Dunbar out to Iona and Harlem Heights so repairs can start without delay.

    How our Fire Damage Cleanup works

  • Smoke Odor Removal

    Covering up smoke odor never lasts, the smell finds its way back. Our crew breaks it down at the source using thermal fogging, ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, and HEPA air scrubbing. Southwest Florida's year-round humidity keeps odor alive in porous framing, so surface cleaning alone never finishes the job.

    How our Smoke Odor Removal works

  • Structural Repair & Rebuild

    Rebuilding to pre-loss condition here means full reframing, re-drywalling, and refinishing work, not a quick patch-and-paint fix. Matching a pre-1960s Edison Park or Dean Park finish takes real trim work, and a Gateway build needs an entirely different match. A single licensed crew sees the rebuild through to the end.

    See Structural Repair & Rebuild details

  • Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

    We inventory everything, pack it out, and clean it off-site in secure storage while your Lee County home is repaired. Nothing goes out the door without being logged first, and everything comes back once the repair and odor work are fully wrapped up.

    More about Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

  • Fire & Water Damage Restoration

    Firefighting water left sitting in this climate grows mold fast. Our crew extracts water and runs structural drying first, then moves into soot and smoke cleanup, one team handling both stages instead of two separate schedules to manage.

    See Fire & Water Damage Restoration details

  • Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

    Crew size is matched to the scope of the loss, which keeps downtime as short as it can be. First Street and Downtown Fort Myers storefronts, plus the US-41 and Colonial Boulevard corridor near Edison Mall, get priority scheduling and after-hours work.

    More about Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

  • Puff-Back Cleaning

    A malfunctioning furnace can send a puff-back of oily black soot over walls, ceilings, and ductwork in seconds. Oil-fired furnaces are uncommon in Southwest Florida homes, but when a puff-back happens our crew uses degreasing agents built for oily soot, not standard smoke cleaning methods.

    See Puff-Back Cleaning details

  • Wildfire Smoke Remediation

    Wildfire smoke remediation is a service we offer as a genuine capability for Lee County properties. Exterior ash removal, HEPA filtration, and deodorization treat any smoke residue a structure picks up, handled the same way regardless of where the smoke originated.

    How our Wildfire Smoke Remediation works

  • Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

    Near-universal central air in Fort Myers homes means smoke and soot recirculate through the duct system regardless of what caused the fire. Left alone, that residue compounds into a moisture and mold problem fast in this humidity. We clean ducts and vents, then run HEPA filtration.

    How our Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning works

  • Chimney Fire Cleanup

    Wood-burning fireplaces are uncommon in Southwest Florida's climate, but when a chimney fire happens, creosote and soot reach the firebox and nearby walls just as they would anywhere else. We clean the residue and treat the odor, and the flue still needs a professional look before anyone relights it.

    How our Chimney Fire Cleanup works
