Home Hardening Guide
Harden Your Home Against Wildfire—Without Guessing.
Most homes are lost to embers, not walls of flame. The right upgrades, done in the right order and maintained on schedule, dramatically change your home’s odds—and its insurability.
Get My ScoreWhy hardening feels overwhelming
Dozens of recommendations online with no sense of what matters most for your home
No idea which contractors actually know wildfire work
Costs add up fast, and you don’t know what grants could offset them
One-time projects quietly lapse—vegetation regrows, screens clog, gutters fill
A system, not a to-do list
Cindera assesses your specific home, sequences the work by impact, connects you with vetted local pros, and keeps everything maintained and documented.
Prioritized for your home
Ember-resistant vents, Zone 0 non-combustible perimeter, roof and gutter protection, defensible space—ranked by what moves your score most.
Vetted local vendors
One-tap connection to local pros who do wildfire work—ember vent installers, Zone 0 landscaping, roofing—with the work logged to your home’s record.
Maintenance on a schedule
Some actions recur—seasonal vegetation clearing, vent inspections. Cindera tracks intervals so your protection (and score) never quietly lapses.
Payoffs you can measure
A rising Cindera Score, grant dollars claimed, potential insurance savings, and a documented, more resilient home.
