Wildfire home hardening in Utah
Most homes lost to wildfire ignite from embers landing on or entering the structure — not from a wall of flame. Hardening fixes the entry points. It's construction work, and we're licensed for it.
SCOPE
What we retrofit
- Ember-resistant vents: attic, soffit, and foundation vents replaced or screened to current ember-resistance specs.
- Gutter protection: covers that keep needle-and-leaf litter from turning your roofline into a fuse.
- Deck work: skirting, under-deck enclosure, and material transitions where embers collect.
- Fence-to-structure transitions: the wooden fence that connects the yard fire to the house — replaced at the junction with noncombustible sections.
- Siding & roofline gaps: sealed and flashed where embers lodge.

WHY A GC MATTERS
Arborists stop at the tree line. We don't.
Vegetation companies can clear your brush, but structural retrofits are construction — legally and practically. Because Wasatch Fire Mitigation operates under a licensed Utah general contractor, the crew that builds your defensible space can also harden the structure it protects. One scope, one accountable license, one documentation file covering both halves of the problem. Electrical and plumbing trade work, where a project needs it, is performed by licensed trade subcontractors we manage.
Harden the house itself.
Vent-to-deck retrofits are typically a few focused days of work — and they're the items insurers ask about first.
