Wildfire home hardening is the process of upgrading your home with fire-resistant materials and systems to reduce the risk of ignition during a wildfire.

This includes:

• 🏠 Fire-resistant roofing & siding 
• 🌬 Ember-resistant vents 
• 🪟 Tempered glass windows 
• 🌿 Defensible space around your home 

In many parts of San Bernardino and surrounding areas, homes located in Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zones must follow California fire safety regulations.

Requirements may include:

• 📏 100 feet of defensible space 
• 🔥 Fire-resistant building materials 
• 🧹 Ongoing vegetation management 

Ember-resistant vents are specially designed to block burning embers from entering your home through attic and crawl space openings.

🔥 Why they matter:

• Embers can travel miles ahead of a wildfire 
• Most homes ignite from ember intrusion—not direct flames 
• Vents are one of the most vulnerable entry points 

California typically requires up to 100 feet of defensible space around structures.

📏 Breakdown:

• 🟥 0–5 ft: Non-combustible zone 
• 🟧 5–30 ft: Reduced vegetation 
• 🟨 30–100 ft: Managed vegetation 

Proper spacing slows fire spread and increases your home’s chances of survival.

Costs vary depending on your home size, materials, and level of risk.

💡 Typical factors:

• Size of property 
• Type of upgrades needed 
• Vegetation density 
• Existing construction materials 

✔️ We provide custom assessments and transparent estimates based on your property.

Most wildfire mitigation projects can be completed within a few days to a couple of weeks.

🛠 Timeline depends on:

• Scope of work
