Can you provide a written summary?

Yes. We can share a photograph based summary that groups findings by urgency and difficulty.

Do you install ember resistant vents on newer homes as well?

Yes. Newer homes may already have baseline mesh, and there is often value in confirming condition and adding listed vents in higher exposure locations.
