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 San Bernardino? 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 staff from the first visit to the last, with one point of contact throughout.

  • Roof tarping

    Carried out by seasoned crews with the commercial machinery this step actually needs.

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

  • Weather protection

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

How Our Process Works

No guesswork. Every San Bernardino, CA fire job moves through the same dependable stages, start to finish.

  1. Rapid Response

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

  2. Clean & Remove

    Char and debris come out first, then our crews clean soot from walls, ceilings, and contents before it can set into the surfaces.

  3. Odor Removal

    We treat every compromised surface and the air so the harm and smell don't come back.

  4. Final Restoration

    Our crews diligently repair and return your home 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.

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

  • We bill your insurer directly and speak their language, so you are not stuck in the middle of the claim.
  • Our crews handle the back-and-forth with the adjuster, so you can focus on your family instead of forms.

Fire Damage in San Bernardino: 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 San Bernardino

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 leaves a greasy film on walls and ceilings that darkens the longer it sits. The 1920s to 1940s downtown core and the historic West Side hold residue in plaster, lath, and painted trim longer than modern drywall. We lift it before it sets in.

    How our Smoke Damage Cleanup works

  • Soot Removal

    Soot's acidity works fast, etching glass and pitting metal within hours. Original glass and metal fixtures in the older Base Line corridor and Mount Vernon Avenue West Side stock show it first. Our team uses dry sponging first, then wet soot cleaning where methods fall short.

    How our Soot Removal works

  • Fire Damage Cleanup

    Once the fire is extinguished, char, ash, and firefighting water are still sitting inside the structure, waiting to cause more damage. Our crew clears and stabilizes the site from the downtown core out to the northern foothill neighborhoods, so repairs can start without delay.

    More about Fire Damage Cleanup

  • Smoke Odor Removal

    Covering the smell only hides it, and it returns. We go after the odor at its origin instead, using thermal fogging, ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, and HEPA air scrubbing. Wind-driven smoke through the Cajon Pass corridor settles into foothill homes with no flame damage and needs the same treatment.

    See Smoke Odor Removal details

  • Structural Repair & Rebuild

    We rebuild to match pre-loss condition exactly, reframing, re-drywalling, and refinishing rather than just patching and painting over damage. Matching a 1920s to 1940s downtown finish takes real trim and texture work, not a quick repaint. One licensed crew sees the job through from start to finish.

    More about Structural Repair & Rebuild

  • Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

    We inventory everything, pack it out, and clean it off site in secure storage while the property is repaired. Each item gets logged before it ever leaves the house, and every piece returns once the rebuild and odor work are done.

    See Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out details

  • Fire & Water Damage Restoration

    Water from firefighting efforts that sits too long turns into a mold problem within just a few days. Our crew extracts the water and runs structural drying first, then moves into soot and smoke cleanup, one crew handling both stages so a second company is never needed.

    More about Fire & Water Damage Restoration

  • Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

    Crew size flexes to match the scope of the loss, which is how downtime for a business stays as short as possible. The Commercenter West and Tippecanoe Avenue business corridor, plus downtown storefronts near E Street and Court Street, get priority scheduling, insurer coordination, and after-hours work.

    See Commercial Fire Damage Restoration details

  • Puff-Back Cleaning

    A furnace puff back throws oily black soot across walls, ceilings, and ductwork almost instantly. Oil-fired furnaces are rare here since Southern California runs mostly on gas and electric heat, but our crew keeps degreasing agents on hand for that oily residue when it happens.

    See Puff-Back Cleaning details

  • Wildfire Smoke Remediation

    Smoke and ash carried down the Cajon Pass wind corridor can reach Verdemont, Devore Heights, and Muscoy with no flame contact, while the downtown core stays outside that exposure. Our crew handles it in three passes: exterior ash cleanup, HEPA filtration, and a full interior deodorizing.

    See Wildfire Smoke Remediation details

  • Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

    Smoke pulled into forced-air ducts keeps recirculating soot and ash long after the visible cleanup looks finished, especially in the Verdemont and Del Rosa foothill homes exposed to wind-driven smoke. We clean the duct and vent system, then run HEPA filtration and deodorization.

    More about Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

  • Chimney Fire Cleanup

    Wood-burning fireplaces sit in the 1920s to 1940s downtown core and the historic West Side and Base Line neighborhoods, not every San Bernardino home. We clean creosote, soot, and smoke damage around the firebox and hearth. Have the flue inspected by a qualified professional before lighting another fire in it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about fire damage restoration in San Bernardino. Still unsure? Call us. We’re here 24/7.

Do I need to board up my home after a fire?

Yes, an open, fire-damaged home is exposed to weather and intruders. Our team boards up openings and tarps the roof at once to shield the property.

What happens to our furniture and contents?

It depends on the item, but we recover far more than most people expect. Furniture, electronics, and keepsakes are cleaned diligently rather than tossed.

Can you help with my insurance claim?

Yes. We document the harm completely and coordinate directly with your insurer to simplify your claim.

Will my policy pay for fire restoration?

In most cases yes. Our crews photograph and itemize the harm for your adjuster and bill your insurance company directly wherever possible.

Do you rebuild after the cleanup?

Yes. After cleanup we handle full structural repair and rebuild, returning your home to pre-loss condition.

Are you local to my neighborhood?

Yes, our staff works throughout San Bernardino, CA. Reach us at (844) 810-6096 and we'll confirm your community.

Do you handle water from the firefighting too?

Yes. Fires almost always leave water behind, so our staff extracts it and dries the structure as part of the same emergency board-up & tarping, preventing mold on top of the fire harm.

How do you get rid of smoke odor?

Surface cleaning isn't enough, so our team diligently treats the air and materials to remove smoke odor for good.

What should I do before you arrive?

Wait until it's safe to enter, then avoid touching sooty surfaces. Call our crew and we'll handle securing and cleaning the home.

How long until we can move back in?

Every fire is different. Small soot jobs finish quickly, while a full rebuild takes longer. Our staff maps the schedule up front and keeps you updated at each stage.

How fast can you respond?

We respond at once. Our staff aims to be on-site fast, day or night, across San Bernardino, CA.

How soon should cleanup start after a fire?

As soon as it's safe. Acidic soot etches and stains surfaces by the hour, so the sooner our staff arrives, the more of your home we can save.
