Know a home’s wildfire risk before you own it.
Independent inspections that evaluate a structure’s ability to withstand wildfire, so you can negotiate with facts, not guesses, before Zone Zero regulations change what it takes to comply.
New rules are coming for every property in a Very High Fire Hazard Zone.
Zone Zero eliminates combustibles within 5 feet of the structure, including decks, arbors, and stairs. It’s a smart, ember-resistant standard. It’s also a real cost and a real timeline, and most buyers don’t find out until after closing.
One flat rate. Any property in a Very High Fire Hazard Zone, LA County.
Fast turnaround by design, so an inspection informs your decision without holding up your closing.
Three steps to an informed offer
On-Site Inspection
A full walkthrough of Zone Zero, Zone 1, and Zone 2, plus a home-hardening assessment of the structure itself.
Fast, Written Report
Clear findings and prioritized recommendations, delivered quickly so your closing timeline stays on track.
Negotiate With Confidence
Use the report as leverage on price, or as a roadmap for the work ahead if you move forward.
Larz Anderson
Forty-two years of special-effects fire experience and thirty-one years living in the Santa Monica Mountains sit behind every inspection. Larz stayed with his own home during the Palisades Fire and watched it survive a direct hit, a firsthand look at how fire creates its own weather, and how embers travel well ahead of the flame front.
That combination of technical fire knowledge and mountain-specific experience is why clients trust what he finds, and why he’s fluent in the Zone Zero rules before most inspectors have read them.
