Why Home Hardening Matters

Your home's exterior systems—siding and roofing—are the first line of defense against wildfire. Traditional wood siding and combustible roofing materials are vulnerable to radiant heat, direct flame contact, and ember accumulation. When these systems fail, fire can spread rapidly across the exterior and into wall cavities, attics, and structural spaces.


Our Solution: Boulder Fire Ready specializes in fire-resistant siding and Class A roofing systems that stop ignition at the source. Our installations use ignition-resistant materials like fiber-cement siding, metal panels, stucco, and Class A asphalt, metal, or tile roofing—all designed, permitted, and installed by a Licensed & Insured General Contractor following Boulder County WUI code requirements.

Fire-Resistant Siding

Traditional wood siding and older vinyl cladding are high-risk during wildfires. We install ignition-resistant siding systems that resist flame spread, ember intrusion, and heat exposure.

  • Fiber-Cement Siding: Non-combustible, Class A fire rating.
  • Metal Panel Systems: Excellent ember and heat resistance.
  • Stucco & Masonry: Traditional fire-resistant exteriors.
