Your situation
Where to start?
-
My insurer asks for mitigation

Home hardening retrofit
-
I want to know my home's weak points
An assessment looks at vents, roof, gutters, decks and vegetation within 100 feet.

Regulations
Good to know before you ask
Wildfire research shows that embers ignite most homes. Ember-resistant vents, a Class A roof, clean gutters and a non-combustible zone in the first 5 feet around the house make a big difference.
Some states and insurers recognize mitigation programs. We do not perform the work ourselves and do not show prices.
