Vents
Your Home Wasn't Built for Modern Wildfires.
Pre-2008 attic, soffit, and foundation vents are open doorways for windblown embers. We retrofit every opening with WUI-listed assemblies tested to ASTM E2886.

Ember-Resistant Vent Retrofitting in Calabasas
Calabasas homes sit in one of California's highest-risk wildfire corridors. The combination of dry chaparral, Santa Ana wind exposure, and a documented fire history — most recently the 2018 Woolsey Fire — has made Calabasas one of the first ZIP codes where carriers are non-renewing policies or requiring documented hardening before renewal.
We focus on what the science says matters most: ember-resistant vent retrofits, non-combustible gutter guards, and Zone 0 hardening in the first five feet around the home. Every job comes with the documentation your carrier, your HOA, or the IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home evaluator expects to see.
Why Now
Why Calabasas Homeowners Are Hardening Their Homes.
Fire Hazard Severity Zone
Very High
Recent History
2018 Woolsey Fire
and earlier wind-driven fires across the Santa Monica Mountains
Insurance Climate
High
Calabasas sits at the eastern edge of the Santa Monica Mountains, in the path of repeated wildfire runs. The Woolsey Fire of 2018 burned through Malibu Creek and the Calabasas hills, destroying or damaging more than 1,600 structures across the Woolsey footprint and forcing widespread evacuations from Mountain View Estates, Mulholland Heights, and the canyon neighborhoods.
Affected neighborhoods include Mountain View Estates, Mulholland Heights, The Oaks, Calabasas Park Estates, and Saratoga Hills.
Premium Wildfire Protection
Defend Your Home in Calabasas.
Premium wildfire protection, installed by our licensed and insured EmberSafe team. Each product addresses a specific way embers attack a home.
Gutters
Embers Love Clogged Gutters.
Dry pine needles and leaves in your gutters can quickly become fuel during wildfire season. We install non-combustible gutter guards that keep debris out without restricting drainage.
Learn MoreFences
A Matchbook Leading to Your Door.
A wood fence touching your home is a fuse. We replace combustible fence sections within five feet of the structure with non-combustible alternatives that preserve the look you want.
Learn MoreLandscape
Where Embers Become Flames.
Zone 0 — the first five feet around your home — is where embers find fuel. We harden your immediate landscape with non-combustible mulch, masonry, and plant selection that meets emerging California regulations.
Learn MoreRoofing
Where Embers Land First.
Your roof is the largest horizontal surface on your home and the first place embers settle. We install and inspect Class A roofing assemblies — the highest fire-resistance rating recognized by code.
Learn MoreWindows
Where Heat Breaks Through.
Single-pane and aluminum-frame windows fail under radiant heat long before flames arrive. We upgrade vulnerable windows with multi-pane tempered assemblies and apply window films where full replacement isn't practical.

Frequently Asked
Straight Answers for Calabasas Homeowners.
Do you work in the Calabasas hills?
Yes — Mountain View Estates, Mulholland Heights, The Oaks, Calabasas Park Estates, and Saratoga Hills are all part of our regular service footprint. Steeper-grade properties and gated communities are handled the same way: free exterior inspection first, then a documented retrofit plan.
Will hardening my Calabasas home help with my insurance?
We provide insurance-ready documentation — a written hardening report, before/after photos, materials lists, and a signed completion record — that you can share with your carrier on your own terms. Discount decisions belong to the carrier; we don't guarantee any specific outcome, and we never share your information with carriers without your written direction.
Is the IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home certificate available in Calabasas?
Yes. We coordinate the full WPH process — gap analysis, retrofit work, and evaluator submission. The certificate is issued by an IBHS-authorized third-party evaluator based on whether the home meets the published standard. We can't guarantee any home will qualify, but we make sure the work and the documentation give your home its best chance.
Do you do work for Calabasas HOAs?
Yes — community-level retrofits are a core part of our practice. We coordinate single-vendor, single-timeline, single-documentation-package retrofits for HOA boards. Founding HOA pricing is open for the first ten communities to enroll. See the Communities program for details.
