Personalized Home Hardening Services

Embers can travel miles ahead of a wildfire front, igniting structures by infiltrating vents, attics and gutters. Based on your personalized wildfire inspection report, our expert team will facilitate your access to the home hardening services you need to maximize your home’s defenses and help defend your property against future wildfires.

• Trimming back trees and other vegetation that places structures at risk for ignition.
• Ember-resistant vents and gutter guards, designed to block dangerous embers from entering through gaps and igniting building materials or possessions inside your attic space or home.
• Fire retardant application inside critical spaces in the home, adding an extra layer of fire suppression. Spraying fire retardant inside vents and attics creates an additional firebreak, and reduces the chance flames will spread within the home.

Matador Fire can help homeowners address these common weak points in a home’s defenses, preventing these entry points from becoming vulnerabilities and reducing the risk of interior ignition.
