BrandGuard & MitigateNow Certified Installer | Central Oregon
Your gutters are a debris trap. Pine needles, bark, and dried leaves accumulate all season. During a wildfire, embers land in that debris and your gutter becomes a firebrand sitting inches from your roofline.
It's one of the most common ignition pathways on the home, and one of the most preventable. A properly installed ember-proof gutter guard eliminates the fuel source and the ignition risk at the roofline.
SafeHaven is a certified installer of both BrandGuard and MitigateNow gutter guard systems, two of the leading ember-tested products on the market. We install, document, and report every job for insurance purposes.
In post-fire structure assessments, debris-filled gutters are consistently identified as a primary ignition source. It doesn't take flame contact. Embers alone, landing in dry debris, are enough to start combustion.
The roofline is also the hardest place to defend once ignition starts. A fire in your gutters spreads to your fascia, then your roof deck, then your attic. It typically happens within minutes.
Clean gutters reduce the risk. But cleaning gutters is ongoing seasonal maintenance. Ember-proof gutter guards eliminate the problem at the source. Debris can't accumulate if it can't enter the gutter.

BrandGuard gutter guards are CAL FIRE tested and listed. They block ember intrusion while maintaining normal drainage. Compliant with California Building Code Chapter 7A and AB 38 requirements. SafeHaven is Central Oregon's only certified BrandGuard reseller and installer.

No. Cleaning is part of the installation. We clear debris before installing the guards so you start with a clean gutter system.
Both are excellent ember-tested products. The right choice depends on your gutter profile, roofline, and situation. We'll assess your gutters during the evaluation and make a specific recommendation. We carry both and have no preference. We'll use whichever performs best for your home.
Possibly. Documented ember-resistant installations are increasingly recognized by carriers as meaningful risk reductions. We provide the documentation, photos, product specs, and a written report, that your carrier needs to act on the installation.
Yes. Many homeowners do both in a single visit. Zone 0 hardening, which covers vents, gutters, and foundation clearance, is the highest-impact work you can do and we can scope it all together.
