SafeHaven got us insurable. After our carrier dropped us for wildfire hazards, Zach had a plan in place fast, hit our deadline, and delivered. The team was professional, communicated well, and left the property looking great. We recommend them without reservation.

SafeHaven did great work including installing metal fences, flashing, hardscaping and doing extensive removal of fire prone brush and junipers. The team executed the job on time, on budget and were a pleasure to work. Their work enabled us to keep our insurance on our Tumalo home
