BEFORE YOU CONTACT A PROVIDER
Start with the work, not the label.
CAL FIRE advises homeowners to consider State Fire Marshal-listed flame- and ember-resistant vents or appropriate noncombustible mesh, while also consulting local building officials because vent changes can affect required airflow. Ask installers to identify the product, listing, vent locations, and ventilation approach in writing.
- Ask for a written scope that identifies the specific materials, areas, or vegetation included.
- Confirm service-area availability, timing, insurance, and any license classification relevant to the proposed work.
- Compare more than one provider when project size, safety, permitting, or cost warrants it.
