Complete Defense

More Than Sprinklers. Complete Wildfire Defense.

FireRoofs started with automated exterior sprinkler systems, and that is still the backbone of everything we build. But protecting a home in a fire zone takes more than water on the roof.

We now offer premier home hardening across every mitigation category that California insurers are required to recognize. Automated sprinklers, noncombustible fencing, ember-resistant vents, fire-retardant vegetation treatment, exterior cladding, defensible space clearance, and Zone Zero landscape hardening. We handle it all under one scope of work. See the full Home Hardening Products Guide for every product we install.

When the project is finished, you get a carrier-ready evidence packet that documents every upgrade, maps it to California's Safer from Wildfires regulation, and gives your insurer or broker exactly what they need to evaluate your property favorably.

One company. One project manager. One documentation package. That is the FireRoofs difference.

Timeline

Your Insurance Carrier Sets the Timeline

Not every homeowner needs everything done at once. FireRoofs adapts to your insurance situation. We can sequence the work based on what your carrier prioritizes, what your timeline demands, and what your budget allows.

Every phase is fully documented so you earn insurance discounts immediately, even for partial mitigation.

Fastest

1 to 2 Weeks

Insurance Deadline Response

Facing non-renewal? We prioritize emergency defensible space clearing in Zone Zero and out to 100 feet, install ember-resistant vents, and deliver basic documentation for your non-renewal appeal. This is the fastest pathway to demonstrate immediate mitigation when your deadline is measured in weeks, not months.

Highest ROI

4 to 6 Weeks

FAIR Plan Exit Strategy

Stuck on the FAIR Plan? We target the mitigation categories that deliver the highest insurance discount ROI. Defensible space, Zone Zero clearing, ember-resistant vents, fire-rated roof assessment, and noncombustible fencing. Class A documentation package ready for broker submission. Sprinklers can be installed in this phase or later when budget allows.

Comprehensive

6 to 8 Weeks

Integrated Protection

Full budget flexibility? We install automated exterior sprinklers, complete all home hardening work, and deliver the premier documentation package. This is the comprehensive approach where everything is done together under one coordinated timeline.

The right pathway depends on your carrier, your deadline, and your circumstances. We assess your insurance situation first, then recommend the sequence that gives you the best outcome.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do exterior wildfire sprinklers actually work?

Yes. Roof sprinkler systems pre-wet the roof and surrounding surfaces, dramatically reducing ignition risk from radiant heat and airborne embers. In the 2007 Ham Lake Fire, 100% of homes equipped with exterior sprinklers, combined with defensible space and home hardening, survived while neighboring unprotected structures were lost.

How does the dual detection system work?

FireRoofs uses dual wildfire detection. The first layer is regional satellite wildfire monitoring that watches for wildfire activity within a 5-mile radius of your property. The second layer is on-property cameras with intelligent fire detection that confirm threats at your property.

What areas does FireRoofs serve?

FireRoofs serves 48 communities across the Bay Area, Santa Clara Valley, and Santa Cruz Mountains, including Saratoga, Los Gatos, Woodside, Portola Valley, Los Altos Hills, Cupertino, Scotts Valley, and more. Find your city.

What is home hardening and why does it matter for insurance?

Home hardening means upgrading the physical components of your home to resist wildfire ignition. California's Safer from Wildfires regulation identifies 12 specific mitigation categories that insurers must recognize. FireRoofs addresses all of these and documents everything in a carrier-ready evidence packet.
