How it all started
Golden State Home Hardening was established with a mission to address the urgent need for home fortification against wildfires in Northern California. Recognizing the increasing severity and frequency of wildfires in the region, our company was founded to provide homeowners with expert guidance and solutions to protect their properties. Our goal is to help advise residents in these high-risk areas on effective fire safety measures that they can implement to create resilient homes that can withstand the challenges posed by wildfires.
With a deep understanding of the unique fire risks faced by communities in Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Lake and Mendocino counties and throughout the state, Golden State Home Hardening is dedicated to providing tailored recommendations that address the specific needs of homeowners in these regions. By offering comprehensive assessments and steps for home hardening techniques, GSHH aims to empower residents with the knowledge and tools to enhance their properties’ resilience against wildfires,and ensure the well-being of residents in Northern California’s vulnerable areas.
