Data Driven
Wildfire Mitigation
Professional wildfire defense rooted in firefighting experience and engineering principles
A Trustworthy Process
Designed to Save Your Home and Wallet
-
We travel to your property to assess land, structures, and other factors contributing to your wildfire risk. You will meet with one of our inspectors who will explain their assessment and ensure the process is completed smoothly.
-
Using information gathered on site, historical records, and real time fuel modeling, we craft an engineered defense strategy designed to increase your chances against a wildfire.
-
We then provide an engineered packet outlining the exact steps required to increase your property’s defense. Our operations crew will then enact these improvements - one team to efficiently protect your property.
A Trustworthy Wildfire Mitigation Process Built to Save Your Home and Wallet
Embrace the power to protect your
property with updated Colorado Law
Under new Colorado Law, homeowners are empowered with greater transparency regarding their property's wildfire risk assessment. The law requires insurers to provide your specific wildfire risk score in writing annually, detailing the key factors and data models used to calculate your rate.
Importantly, the new Colorado Law establishes that insurance carriers must account for verified mitigation work—such as maintaining defensible space and implementing home hardening measures—when determining your property's risk profile. If you believe your risk assessment does not accurately reflect recent improvements or on-site conditions, you have a formal process to submit updated documentation directly to your carrier for review.
Providing an audit-ready, technical compliance portfolio equips your insurer with the clear, site-specific evidence needed to evaluate your property accurately. This data-driven approach helps ensure your mitigation efforts are fully recognized, supporting your efforts to maintain reliable coverage and explore potential premium adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Short Answer: Yes. While insurance carriers make individual underwriting decisions, documented mitigation is the single most effective way to satisfy risk models, avoid policy non-renewals, and qualify for premium reductions.
The Detail: Under Colorado’s House Bill 25-1182, insurance companies using wildfire risk models must account for parcel-level and community-level mitigation, or provide explicit premium discounts. When insurance underwriters issue a non-renewal notice due to wildfire risk, they are looking for professional, verified proof that the home ignition zone has been remediated. We provide a complete Insurance Compliance Package specifically designed to meet these underwriting standards.
-
Effective July 1, 2026, HB 25-1182 requires property insurers using wildfire risk models to provide homeowners with an annual written notice of their exact wildfire risk score and classification. Crucially, the law gives you the right to appeal your risk score directly to your insurance provider if your property has undergone qualifying mitigation work. Having a professional mitigation record from Longs Peak Wildfire Mitigation gives you the verifiable data needed to back up that appeal.
-
Underwriters don’t accept verbal assurances; they require hard documentation. When you work with us, you receive a full mitigation portfolio including:
Itemized suggestions to bolster wildfire defense.
Before-and-after GPS-tagged photo documentation.
Zone-by-zone completion aligned with WUI standards.
-
Absolutely not. Good wildfire mitigation isn't about clear-cutting your property; it’s about selective thinning and tree separation. We preserve your property's natural aesthetic, shade, and privacy while surgically removing ladder fuels, dead trees, and high-risk ladder paths that allow ground fires to climb into the tree canopy.
-
Clearing trees protects your property from radiant heat, but a significant portion of homes lost in wildfires ignite due to wind-driven embers landing on or inside the structure. Home hardening involves retrofitting vulnerable structural points—such as screening attic and crawlspace vents, cleaning debris out of gutters, sealing roof edges, ensuring heat resistant windows, and much more.
-
Initial Site Assessment: We inspect your property, evaluate topography, prevailing wind patterns, and building materials, and discuss your specific goals (insurance compliance vs. overall safety).
Custom Mitigation Plan: We deliver a transparent, actionable scope of work mapped to local and national standards.
Execution & Documentation: Our crew performs the mitigation cleanly and professionally, and we hand you your complete Insurance Compliance & Verification Package ready to submit to your broker.
