The homeowner problem

A structured walk around your home to identify areas that may be vulnerable to wind driven embers, radiant heat and direct flame exposure, followed by a prioritized set of practical recommendations.

What we review

Each home is different. A typical assessment covers the exterior structure, ventilation openings and the immediate surroundings so recommendations can be focused where they matter most.

  • Roof edges, gutters and drip lines
  • Attic, gable, soffit, foundation and crawlspace vents
  • Eaves, soffits and rafter tails
  • Exterior walls, penetrations and trim
  • Windows, screens and exterior doors
  • Garage doors, seals, vents and windows
  • Decks, stairs and under deck areas
  • Attached fences, gates and transitions
  • Zone 0 and the first five feet
  • Combustible storage against the structure

How the visit works

We arrive on schedule, walk the property, take photographs and notes and discuss what we see. You receive a plain language summary that groups findings by urgency and difficulty so you can decide how to move forward.

After the assessment

You are never pressured to complete every item at once. Many homeowners choose to begin with lower cost maintenance and vent screening, then plan larger improvements over time.

Frequently asked questions

Home hardening focuses on the structure itself. It addresses vents, eaves, rooflines, garages, decks, fencing, exterior openings and the first five feet around the home so wind-driven embers have fewer places to enter or ignite materials next to the building.
