Fire-Resistant Siding in Mill Valley
This is a primary service in Mill Valley. The town's defining feature — steep, densely wooded hillsides beneath Mount Tam — also makes it genuinely high wildfire-exposure. Fire-resistant siding here is a central exterior decision, not a low-regret nicety, and we treat the exterior as a hardened assembly designed into the architecture.
Why Mill Valley's wooded terrain is high exposure
Dense canopy and steep slopes drive heavy ember loading in a wind event. We specify Class A non-combustible cladding and harden the points embers exploit — eaves, soffits, vents, decks, and the ground-to-wall transition — recognizing the terrain's severity.
Hardening without compromising significant architecture
Many Mill Valley homes are design-significant. The craft is integrating a hardened, non-combustible assembly into that architecture so the result is both demonstrably safer and visually uncompromised — documented for insurability conversations.
