The homeowner problem
Leaves, needles and debris in gutters and along roof edges can ignite from a single ember. Removing that fuel and screening at the edge is one of the most productive first steps.
Focus areas
- Debris accumulation on the roof and in gutters
- Noncombustible metal gutter covers
- Damaged or sagging gutter sections
- Drip edge gaps at the roof perimeter
- Open ends of clay or concrete roof tile
- Roof to wall junctions and step flashing
- Chimney screening and spark arrestor condition
- Skylights, solar penetrations and roof features
About roof replacement
Full roof replacement is not part of this service today. When a roof reaches the end of its useful life, a roofing contractor is the right partner for that project. We focus on edges, penetrations and gutter hardening.
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.
