New Construction Fireproof Design
We engineer fire-resistant homes from the ground up, integrating non-combustible materials, defensible space planning, and code-compliant structural systems before a single foundation is poured.
Retrofit Fireproofing Assessment
A thorough evaluation of your existing home's vulnerabilities, followed by a prioritized retrofit plan covering siding, vents, roofing, decking, and structural weak points.
Material & Product Specification
We research and specify the highest-performing fire-resistant materials — from Class A roofing assemblies to ignition-resistant cladding — tailored to your project budget and local fire codes.
Wildfire Risk Analysis
Site-specific analysis of your property's wildfire exposure using topography, vegetation, wind patterns, and historical fire data to inform every design and retrofit decision.
Code Compliance Consulting
Navigate state and local fire codes with confidence. We ensure your project meets or exceeds CAL FIRE, IRC, and local jurisdiction requirements from design through final inspection.
Contractor Coordination & Oversight
We work directly with your builders and contractors to ensure fireproofing specifications are executed correctly, reducing costly change orders and compliance failures.
Precision-Engineered Fire Protection for Your Home
Exp.
Ember Shield Consulting was founded on a single principle: no homeowner should have to choose between beautiful design and life-saving fire resistance. Our certified consultants bring deep expertise in structural fire engineering, wildfire science, and building code compliance to every project we take on — whether you're breaking ground on a custom build or hardening an existing home against the next fire season. We partner with architects, contractors, and homeowners to deliver fireproofing solutions that are built into the bones of the structure, not bolted on as an afterthought. When fire threatens, an Ember Shield home is ready.

What Our Clients Say
“After losing a neighbor's home in the Caldor Fire, we knew we had to act. Ember Shield walked us through every vulnerability in our existing home and gave us a prioritized retrofit plan we could actually afford to execute in phases. Two years later, our home is certified fire-resistant and we sleep better every night.”
David and Karen Whitfield
Homeowners, Grass Valley, CA
“We were building our dream home in a high fire-hazard severity zone and had no idea how complex the compliance requirements were. Ember Shield handled everything — material specs, CAL FIRE documentation, contractor coordination. Our build came in on budget and passed final inspection without a single revision.”
Marcus Tran
Custom Home Owner, Nevada City, CA
“As a general contractor, I've worked with a lot of consultants. Ember Shield is the rare firm that actually understands both the science and the construction side. Their specs are precise, their communication is clear, and they prevent the change orders that kill project margins.”
