Built by the People Who Know These Hills
FireRoofs started because two people who had spent decades working in the Bay Area foothills kept seeing the same problem. Shawn Gardner managed parks and irrigation systems for the City of Saratoga. Walt Mullins ran a licensed general contracting firm building custom homes across the Santa Cruz Mountains. Both understood water delivery, construction, and the terrain. Neither could find a wildfire defense system they would trust on their own properties.
So they built one. The company is rooted in more than 50 combined years of local construction, irrigation design, and municipal infrastructure work. Every system we install reflects that hands-on background. We walk the property before we design anything. We test every zone before we leave. And we only work in the communities we already know, because wildfire defense done right requires understanding slope, vegetation, water pressure, and wind exposure at the neighborhood level.
Free Report: The Gap in California's Wildfire Defense
Our research team examined what the verified data shows about passive mitigation standards and where active defense systems fill the gap. Covers the 2017, 2018, and 2025 fire seasons, water system failures, and ember storm physics.

Our installation teams live and work in the Bay Area, and the majority of our projects are within about 60 miles of San Jose. That said, we have installed exterior wildfire sprinkler systems outside the area for special projects. We are expanding rapidly to cover more of Northern California as our crew capacity grows. If you are looking for home wildfire protection in Northern California, send us a message and we will let you know what we can do.
Yes. Not every property needs full automation. We install professionally built manual exterior sprinkler systems that you activate with a switch or valve before you evacuate. The sprinklers, piping, and nozzle placement are identical to our automated wildfire defense setups. The only difference is the trigger. Our licensed contractors handle the entire installation so you get a reliable, code-compliant wildfire sprinkler system without the DIY guesswork.
If you still have coverage with a standard carrier, a professionally installed exterior wildfire sprinkler system can support additional mitigation discounts on your wildfire insurance. If you have been moved to the FAIR Plan, we provide evidence packets documenting every component of your system along with other property-level mitigation. Homeowners have used these packets to demonstrate reduced wildfire risk and get reinsured with standard carriers again.
