Property Board-Up Services in Dallas, Texas
A structure fire leaves behind extensive exterior vulnerabilities. Shattered glass, kicked-in entry doors, punctured exterior siding, and firefighter ventilation holes leave your property open to North Texas storms, curious trespassers, and opportunistic thieves. Apex Restoration Solutions provides fast, professional property board-up services throughout Dallas, Texas.
We arrive on-site with heavy-grade materials to seal every structural breach. Our technicians do not simply nail plywood into fragile window moldings. We use engineered tension-bolting and structural framing methods that protect your building securely without causing unnecessary damage to salvageable structural frames.

Specialized Board-Up Services Across the Building Envelope
Window Board-Up After Fire
Extreme heat easily shatters glass and warps vinyl or aluminum window sashes. We install half-inch exterior plywood sheets secured with interior 2x4 bracing bars and threaded carriage bolts. This compression method seals the window tight without drilling destructive holes into exterior brick veneer or siding.
Door Board-Up After Fire
Forcible firefighter entry frequently fractures exterior door jambs, deadbolts, and hinges. We install heavy-duty solid wood panels reinforced with steel hasps and tamper-resistant padlocks. When property owners need ongoing access, we build secure temporary wooden entry doors equipped with keyed locks.
Wall Board-Up After Fire
When flames burn through exterior siding or firefighters breach wall assemblies to verify thermal spread, gaping wall openings expose internal wall cavities. We install structural studs and exterior-grade sheathing to bridge structural gaps and seal wall framing from the elements.
Roof Board-Up After Fire
Severe attic fires leave large holes where roof decking and trusses have burned away. Before laying waterproof tarps, our crews install solid plywood decking over roof openings to create a stable, walk-safe sub-base that prevents tarps from sagging and collecting standing rainwater.
Our Non-Destructive Installation Standard
Tension Bolting
Carriage bolts pass through plywood into interior 2x4 backer boards, clamping the board to the opening using tension rather than nails driven into window sills.
Exterior-Grade CDX Sheathing
We use minimum 1/2-inch exterior CDX plywood that resists moisture delamination during heavy rain.
Ventilation Allowances
When necessary, we install screened weather vents to allow airflow while keeping birds, bats, and rodents out of the drying structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will boarding up broken windows damage my exterior brick or siding?
No. We use an interior tension-clamping method. Threaded carriage bolts clamp the exterior plywood sheet against an interior wooden 2x4 brace without driving screws or nails into exterior masonry.
Can I still access the building after you board it up?
Yes. If you or your insurance adjuster need entry, we can construct a functional, heavy-duty temporary access door fitted with a secure deadbolt or padlock so authorized individuals can enter safely.
How long can plywood board-up remain in place?
Our exterior-grade installations are engineered to protect your property for several weeks or months while investigations, insurance adjustments, and reconstruction plans are finalized.
