Wildfire-Resistant Roofing

What This Service Involves

In wildfire terms the roof is the most vulnerable part of a home because settling embers find every gap. Beyond a Class A covering, we seal the assembly against ember intrusion with ember-resistant vents, metal drip edges, and non-combustible eave and valley details. This whole-roof hardening matters for properties in the wildland-urban interface east of the Cascades and across the drier Northwest foothills. The approach follows recognized ignition-resistant construction guidelines.
