Wildfire Retrofit Services
A wildfire retrofit is the process of bringing an existing home closer to current wildfire construction practice. Homes built before modern standards frequently have open eaves, coarse vent screening, combustible attachments and older glazing.
Typical retrofit scope
- Vent replacement or screening upgrades
- Eave and soffit enclosure
- Roof edge, gutter and penetration detailing
- Siding repair or partial replacement
- Window upgrades on exposed elevations
- Deck, stair and patio cover improvements
- Fence and gate replacement near the structure
Phasing a retrofit
Retrofits are usually staged over several years. An assessment establishes the order; homeowners then bundle work by trade so that, for example, all exterior carpentry happens in one visit.
