FAQ
James Hardie Siding in Glen Ellen — FAQ
Glen Ellen sits in high wildfire-hazard terrain that burned in the 2017 Nuns Fire, so non-combustible cladding with hardened detailing is strongly advised for nearly every parcel, especially wooded canyon and hillside homes.
Yes. We install non-combustible, hardened exterior assemblies appropriate to current rebuilding standards and document the materials used for insurance and design context.

Diablo winds funnel dry offshore air through the Mayacamas canyons in early fall, driving the ember showers that threatened Glen Ellen homes in 2017. We harden vents and eaves specifically against that.
Yes on shaded, canyon-floor parcels where wet-season moisture settles. We detail the drainage plane and flashing rigorously alongside the fire strategy.
