Structure footprints are measured by calculating the two dimensional top down area of the primary home and any attached or detached structures or decks within 30 feet or whatever distance is required by your insurer (see example). This often varies significantly from the advertised or permitted home size due to garages and other features that are typically excluded from a home's advertised habitable space.
Before your initial consultation, please make sure the specialist can walk around your home to examine vents, windows, and other exterior features.
It's generally better not to begin doing work until after your consultation. The rules are technical and complex, and it's easy to spend money and time on things that aren't required or end up having to be re-done.
Home hardening refers to modifying your home to resist ignition during a wildfire better. It’s like armor for a home. This can include using fire-resistant roofing materials, installing ember-resistant vents, ensuring that the bottom six inches of the home’s siding is noncombustible, or installing 1/8-inch metal mesh screening under decks.
Wildfire mitigation is a broader term that includes home hardening as well as actions you take around your property to reduce wildfire risk. This can involve creating defensible space by clearing vegetation, keeping gutters and roofs free of debris, and maintaining safe distances between trees and structures.
No. We recommend that you or your representative be present, but it is not required. If you are unable to be present, please mention this when scheduling.
Defensible space inspections only cover landscaping around your structure out to 100 feet and don't follow the latest wildfire science. The Wildfire Prepared Home evaluation covers landscaping out to 30 feet and the house's features that could make it vulnerable to being destroyed during a wildfire.
No. We do not conduct code enforcement nor share findings with local authorities. Our job is to help you protect your home from wildfires and identify options to mitigate risks.
Yes. Your report will identify any incentives available in your area to help offset the cost of any work you may need to do. Financing options are also available.
