    Why Is Fire Hardening Homes Important?

    Fire hardening your home is crucial for the following reasons:

    • Increases survivability: Homes with fire-resistant features are less likely to ignite during a wildfire.
    • Provides insurance benefits: Homes that are fire hardened may be viewed as less risky by insurance companies, potentially leading to lower premiums.
    • Reduces risk of flame and radiant heat exposure: Hardening measures also help mitigate risks from direct flame contact and radiant heat by creating a barrier against extreme heat and flames.
    • Provides peace of mind: Preparing your home for a wildfire can offer a sense of security for you and your family.
    • Saves on costs: Fire hardening can reduce the risk of fire damage during a wildfire. It leads to long-term cost savings on repairs and potential insurance claims.

     

    Quality Home Hardening Solutions for Homeowners

    At MEC Builds, we understand the impact of wildfires on communities and individual homes. We can provide a complete package to assist in essential property-level fire mitigation. You can count on us for high-quality wildfire home hardening solutions that create a more resilient structure.

    Our solutions include:

    • Class A fire-rated roofing: We install roofing materials with a high fire resistance rating, which means they can withstand severe fire exposure.
    • Enclosed eaves and soffits: Sealing these vulnerable areas prevents embers from entering the attic or crawl space, a common ignition point.
    • Fire-resistant vents: We replace standard vents with ember-resistant designs that block ember entry while maintaining proper ventilation.
    • Noncombustible vertical clearance: We ensure that the lowest 6 inches of your home’s exterior siding is made of non-combustible material, preventing ignition from ground-level embers or flames.
    • Clearing vegetation: This critical “ignition-resistant zone” within 5 feet of the home reduces fuel available to fire and embers near your house.
    • Metal gutters and guards: Noncombustible gutters prevent embers from accumulating, and guards help keep them clear of flammable debris.
    • Complete fire-resistant siding: We offer and install various options that resist ignition and slow flame spread.
    • Ember-resistant skylights: Our skylights prevent ember penetration by protecting often-overlooked entry points.
