For Fishkorn rehabbers and real estate investors, are DAWGS Steel Door and Window Guards a Better Option than Board-Up?

The team at DAWGS has spent more than a decade touting the advantages of steel door and window guards over its plywood counterpart. Not only is steel more cost-effective than board-up over time, but DAWGS security solutions are rented, not purchased, which makes them reusable and sustainable.

For Fishkorn real estate investors, steel has also proven to be a superior solution over plywood and other materials when it comes to preventing break-ins, unauthorized occupation, and theft in vacant buildings. DAWGS also adds curb appeal to property versus contributing to neighborhood blight as with the use of unsightly plywood.

The COVID-19 pandemic has added yet another reason to choose DAWGS steel security solutions to secure your vacant properties — the skyrocketing cost of lumber. Often positioned as a cost-effective option to secure vacant property, this is no longer the case. Rising plywood prices have led to a substantial increase in the cost of board-up.
