Why the roof matters

The roof is the largest surface embers land on. Combustible roofing, open eaves, and debris in the gutter are where most structure ignitions start. A Class A assembly stops ignition at the surface, and the details at the edge, vents, and roof-to-wall corners keep embers out of the attic.


Fire Ready Exteriors designs, permits, and installs complete Class A roof assemblies (standing seam metal, Class A shingles, fire-rated underlayment and ventilation) to Boulder County WUI code. Siding is handled as its own system: the Ignition-Resistant Re-Side.

Siding has its own page

Our siding work is the Ignition-Resistant Re-Side: new James Hardie® fiber-cement siding installed as a wildfire hardening system, with WUI-listed vents, noncombustible base-of-wall, and a documentation package for your insurer on every job.
