Decks attached to homes are a significant fire vulnerability. We replace combustible wood decks with fire-resistant composite or non-combustible materials, and address the critical under-deck area where embers accumulate.

Understanding the Risk
Wood decks directly attached to homes create a direct pathway for fire. Embers accumulate on deck surfaces and in the gaps between boards. Once a deck ignites, the fire quickly spreads to the attached structure through ledger boards and wall connections.
