Home Hardening & Fire Protection: Defend Your Home from Wildfires
Protect Your Home Before the Next Wildfire Strikes
Wildfires are unpredictable—but losing your home doesn’t have to be. In January 2025, Southern California experienced devastating wildfire destruction, reducing entire neighborhoods to ashes. The reality? 90% of homes are first ignited by embers—not the fire itself.
With our Roof System Wildfire Protection service, you can significantly reduce the risk of ember intrusion and home ignition, protecting what matters most.
What Makes Your Home Vulnerable to Wildfires?
Ember Entry Through Vents
Unprotected attic vents can ignite your home from within.
Flammable Roofing Materials
Traditional shingles or untreated wood roofs can easily catch fire.
Clogged Gutters & Dry Debris
Leaves and pine needles in gutters act as kindling for flames.
