San Diego Home Hardening Pros

Fire-Resistant Roofing & Roof Upgrades

The roof is the largest horizontal surface on a home and the most exposed to falling embers. Roofing work for wildfire covers the covering itself, the assembly beneath it and the edges, valleys and penetrations where debris collects.

Roof edge, gutters and the soffit line are where embers collect first on most homes.

Covering, assembly and details

A fire-rated covering is only part of the picture. Gaps at tile ends, open ridge and eave lines, unsealed penetrations, and debris trapped in valleys can all allow embers past an otherwise sound roof.

  • Class A rated roof assemblies
  • Bird-stopping and end-closure at tile roofs
  • Ember-resistant ridge and eave venting
  • Sealing at flashings, skylights and penetrations
  • Removal of accumulated needle and leaf debris

When to address roofing

Full roof replacement is one of the larger expenses in a hardening plan. Many homeowners handle the detail work — edges, penetrations, debris and venting — now, and upgrade the covering when the existing roof reaches the end of its service life.
