Connect building upgrades with the surrounding landscape.
Bay Area hillside properties, Sierra foothill homes and Southern California landscapes call for a property-specific plan. We look at ember entry points, roof debris, attached decks and fences, slope, access, and combustible materials near the building together.
Retrofit the building envelope
Assess attic and crawl-space vents, roof edges, gutters, windows, doors and exterior gaps. The estimate identifies appropriate ember-resistant materials and installation details for the existing construction.
Connect the house to defensible space
Review decks, fences, vegetation and stored materials where they meet the home. Separating construction work from vegetation work makes it easier to prioritize improvements and plan ongoing maintenance.
Use your inspection recommendations
An insurer letter, fire-agency inspection or prior assessment can help organize the scope. Share it with your address so the estimate responds to the actual property and the authority responsible for it.
What to include in your request
Share your address, exterior photos, any insurer or local inspection recommendations, and the upgrades you have in mind. Include access limitations and any HOA requirements so they can be considered before work is scheduled.
Planning your project
Can the estimate include both home upgrades and defensible space?
Yes. Describe both in your request. The proposed scope can separate building improvements from vegetation work, with priorities, documentation and maintenance needs discussed together.
Do you offer home hardening throughout California?
Our confirmed California areas are listed here, including the Greater Bay Area, San Diego, Los Angeles, Ventura and the named Sierra foothill counties. The map also shows surrounding counties for context; it is not a statewide service claim.
What happens after I request an estimate?
We confirm receipt by email, review your address and proposed work, and reach out to discuss the project. The team confirms scope, site-visit needs and scheduling before work begins.
Can improvements reduce my insurance premium?
The California FAIR Plan calculator is an illustrative example for eligible California policies. Your insurer or broker confirms whether your improvements qualify and how they affect your premium.
