FAQ

Common Questions About Fire-Resistant Building in California

Straight answers to the most common questions homeowners ask before they begin.

What is home hardening?

Home hardening means reducing the features that make a structure susceptible to ignition from wind-blown embers, radiant heat, and direct flame contact. Rather than generic remodeling, we specifically target vulnerable areas like roofs, vents, windows, and exterior assemblies.

What is Zone 0?

Can I harden an existing house?

Do insurers offer discounts for this work?

Can I build an ADU in a fire-prone area?
