Wildfire Prevention & WUI Retrofitting for
Placer County Homes
Protect your home from ember storms and insurance non-renewals. We specialize in Class A Fire Rated roofs and Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) upgrades designed for high-risk fire zones.
Complete Ember Defense
A fire-resistant roof is just step one. We harden your entire roofline to prevent embers from entering your attic or eaves.
Class A Rated Roofing
The highest standard of fire protection. We install ASTM E108 rated systems—including Standing Seam Metal and Composition Shingles—proven to resist severe flame exposure.
Ember-Resistant Venting
Embers enter homes through standard attic vents. We retrofit your home with WUI-compliant vents featuring 1/8" fine wire mesh that blocks embers while allowing airflow.
Non-Combustible Gutters
Dry leaves in gutters are basically kindling attached to your roof. We install metal gutter guards to keep debris out, removing a primary ignition point.
Bird Stops & Eave Risers
Gaps under tile roofs are entry points for embers. We install custom metal bird stops and eave risers to seal these gaps tight, hardening your home's perimeter.
Our Wildfire Prevention Protocol
We take a strategic approach to hardening your home against ember intrusion.
Vulnerability Audit
We identify the weak points in your roof's defense. We check vent mesh size, gutter debris loads, and eave gaps to create a prioritized retrofit plan.
Strategic Moves
Whether it's a full Class A roof replacement or a targeted vent retrofit, we install materials designed to stop embers cold.
Debris Clearance
Fuel management is key. We clear all pine needles and combustible debris from your roof valleys and gutters, removing the "kindling" from your home.
Insurance Documentation
We provide you with clear invoices and material specifications (listing Class A ratings) that you can present to your insurance agent to prove your home is hardened.
The Result: Compliance & Safety
Sleep better knowing your home meets the modern defense standards for wildfire zones.
Insurance Eligibility
Upgrading to Class A materials and WUI standards helps you meet the requirements of insurers like California FAIR Plan and others.
Ember Defense
By sealing vents and eaves with 1/8" mesh, we block the #1 cause of home loss in wildfires: wind-blown embers.
Resale Value
A hardened home is a valuable asset. Buyers in Placer County actively look for homes with updated, fire-rated roofs.
Your Fire Prevention & Insurance Questions, Answered
Wildfire codes can be confusing. We cut through the noise to give you clear facts about WUI compliance, Class A ratings, and how to protect your insurance coverage.
What is "Class A" fire rating?
Class A is the highest fire-resistance rating for roofing. It means the roof system is effective against severe fire exposure. Common Class A materials include standing seam metal, concrete tile, and asphalt composition shingles containing fiberglass.
Will a new roof lower my insurance premium?
It depends on your carrier, but for many Placer County residents, it is the difference between having insurance or not. We provide the documentation you need to show your agent that your home is hardened against embers.
Can I make my home safer without a full roof replacement?
Yes. We offer targeted retrofits. Installing 1/8" mesh over vents, adding metal gutter guards, and sealing eave gaps with bird stops can significantly reduce ember intrusion risks without replacing the entire roof.
What is WUI compliance?
WUI stands for Wildland-Urban Interface. Building codes in these zones require specific materials (like ignition-resistant vents and Class A roofs) to slow the spread of fire. We are experts in these specific code requirements.
