Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a deck ember-resistant?
Ember-resistant decks use non-combustible or ignition-resistant materials and design details—like ember-sealed gaps and metal flashing—to prevent embers from lodging and igniting.

Can ember-resistant decks still look like natural wood?
Yes. Today’s advanced composites and hardwoods mimic real wood while providing Class A fire ratings and exceptional durability.

Can you retrofit an existing deck for ember resistance?
Absolutely. We specialize in deck resurfacing and rebuilds that bring older decks up to ember- and fire-resistant standards.
