As a lifelong resident of Southern California and a retired firefighter of over 36 years in the San Diego city area, I experienced and lived through the devastating 2003 and 2007 wildfires here locally. During those two fires, I personally experienced how embers from the fire, travel in the air and impact homes and buildings through via the attic/gable vents. I observed while we were fighting fire at a Rancho Bernardo condominium complex as embers traveled through the air, and went through the attic vents and started the condominium building on fire.. After I saw that, I vowed that I would protect my home with some sort of gable vent that would prevent that from happening at my home. (Once embers get into the attic and start to burn, it is very difficult to stop that fire from spreading). I worked very closely with BrandGuard Vents located in Lake Forest, California, they did a great job and installed gable vent and soffit vents throughout my home for fire protection. Two of my neighbors across the street have used BrandGuard Vents and are very protected and happy as I am as well. I experienced great service and as you can see in the pictures, the vents that were installed are excellent and blend in with my home! Believe it or not I also received a discount from my insurance company, Travelers. read more

The installer for my Brandguard vents did a terrific job explaining what the vents were and how they worked and what they look like, as well as listening to my concerns before he even had a chance to measure the job. Then when the vents were produced, he was already to install them and actually spray painted the vents to match as close as possible to the existing stucco or surrounding wood area. He did a nice job of keeping everything clean and neat. My house is 2 story, and it required a lot of going up-and-down a very tall ladder, but he was done in a very short amount of time. I'd recommend Brandguard to anyone if they're they live close to a fire zone. I had listened to a podcast from the House Whisperer about the Brandguard vents , and he couldn't be more complimentary to the quality and the effectiveness of their product. read more

This was way easier than I expected. Rep visited and let me know what should be done. I got the price that night. Negotiated it a bit and signed the contract. They came by today when I was playing golf and finished the project. Now I have hardened my house against wildfires with vent protection and a sprinkler system on my roof. They match the paint on your house as well, which is great. I feel good recommending Brandguard. read more

The crew that came out and installed the vents was fabulous. Very neat, clean, respectful and on time. They also matched out exterior house paint perfectly! This is the 2nd year using Brandguard Vents for our retrofit exterior house vent installation. Each time has been extremely thorough, quick, great communication and easy. They provided all the resources, timelines, and guided us with using the grant program. We have been extremely pleased with Brandguard and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much! read more

We used the Sunrise Powerlink Grant available to residents in Crest to pay for safety upgrades to our home, since we are in a designated Very High Wildfire Risk area. BrandGuard was one of the recommended contractors/vendors on the list, which made for a smoother process due to their familiarity with the Grant program. The upgrades to our home look great, and the installation staff and customer service were great. read more

I heard a construction expert on talk radio mention that most of the houses that survived recent California wildfires, in a certain area, had this brand and type of vents. I contacted Brandguard and service was excellent from that point on. I had to wait a bit for installation, but staff kept in touch and the installation occurred on the agreed date and time. The Brandguard vent installation is one of several home fire protection steps taken recently. These vents are essential! read more

Brandguard Vents has some of the best customer service that I have ever encountered. EVERYONE was friendly and Very helpful, from the man who came to assess my two houses for vents to the staff in the office, whom I called various times. They went above and beyond helping me. The quality of the vents is excellent, although I must advise you that the way they thwart embers getting into your attic also diminishes the air flow out of your attic in normal times. read more

Fantastic company! Everything went perfectly from start to finish. So glad my home now has a huge layer of protection from wildfires. So much peace in mind! read more

Brandguard Vents supplied and Seaside Home Solutions installed new attic vents on the second story exterior of my house as we are in a fire prone area. Seaside painted them to match the wood trim. I would recommend both companies. read more

Fire has always scared me as the worst, natural disaster, and after seeing the destruction of the recent fires in Los Angeles, I was glad to find Brandguard Vents and learn how they have a multi-faceted approach to fire-hardening a house. They custom-made fire-resistant vents for my eaves, installed them plus foundation vents, internal chambers that would trap any burning ember that did manage to get inside the vents, and there is an intumescent substance inside the chamber that will seal the chamber off in the event of high, fire temperatures. Brandguard's eaves are guaranteed to prevent eaves fire for 30 years, and I was given a $ 367 discount for being a State Farm Insurance customer. The installation was done in one morning by the Armour Pro Solution company. They worked diligently and cleaned up afterward. I am going to sleep better from now on knowing that my house is protected by fire-resistant eaves made by Brandguard Vents. read more

BrandGuard provides high quality fire protection products. Their installer really knew his stuff. Efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Ethan primed, painted, fitted and installed 11 vents for of various sizes for our entire house. Very highly recommended! read more

I recently had my home attic vents replaced with Brandguard vents. The Brandguard vents are patented and are designed to prevent wild fire embers from entering the attic. A friend of mine is involved with local fire fighters and told me these vents are top of the line, and excellent design. Because I live in a wild fire area, which is considered to be a higher risk area, I decided to add additional wild fire protection to my home. Although my home has a sprinkler system installed through out the house, including the attic, the installation of these vents adds a significant layer of protect for my home. My existing vents were removed and replace with Brandguard vents by All Risk Shield. The removal and installation of the Brandguard vents went well, but there was a small issue. All Risk Shield immediately addressed my issues and resolve the problem. read more

My home was eligible for a grant to replace existing vents with ember-resistant vents. Brandguard was one of the recommended companies and I believe the only one that offered to handle all of the county permit paperwork. I had them come out for an estimate. It was about double what the grant would cover, but they quickly offered to split the work in half, to do some now & the rest next year if the grant was still in effect. I an't speak to the efficacy of the vents (and hope I never can, since that would mean fire had reached my house), but the new vents are certainly very aesthetically pleasing. Happy so far, and in particular, every e-mail question I sent to them was answered promptly. read more

We live in the Wildland Urban Interface and are in a Class 9-10 fire zone. It is imperative that our home be protected as much as possible from blowing embers as they reportedly can travel up to a mile. In 2019, California State Assembly Bill 38 revised Chapter 7A of the California Building Code to resist building ignition from intrusion of burning embers and flame through ventilation openings. Whether you approve of increased government regulation or not, having lost our home in the 2003 Cedar Fire, I can personally attest to the horror faced by fire survivors in battling their insurance companies, the County of San Diego Planning and Development Services, and contractors in the effort to rebuild. Therefore, I highly recommend that all available fire protection measures be taken. Brandguard Vents was willing to work with us to install the needed fire protection vents in a way that met our budget and for that we are thankful. Tammi was super helpful and sweet. Additionally, Bill, the installer was super quick and tidy in his installation of the vents. read more

I am giving these vents three stars not because they were not installed well but because they have now created another problem. I am dealing with too much dampness in the crawl space because there is now inadequate air ventilation. It seems that I will have to take the vents out and replace them with the standardized vents to get back to the normal humidity in my crawl space. I have alerted Brandguard to this situation. read more

Dangerous Install. Terrible Customer Service. Had Brandguard install vents on our house which is in a Very High Fire Danger Area.  Told them to pay particular attention to several vents that are most likely to be subject to ember storms.  After they left it appeared 2 of these vents were not done.  I sent pictures but was assured that the vents had been done.  After I called Brandguard and explained the problem no one got back to me for A WEEK AND A HALF.  Had to STOP PAYMENT on the credit card.  THEN they came out and LOW AND BEHOLD I was right and 2 of the critical vents hadn't been done. Had to pay $300 for them to come out and fix it. Like selling bulletproof vests with big holes in them and not telling the buyer.  I have to wonder how many other houses are out there that don't have the protection they think they have. read more

We used Brandguard Vents along with the SDGE grant program, Brandguard knows the in and out of this grant program which made it very easy to get through the process. They even pull the SD County building permit. The crew was prompt, professional and clean. They brought a portable spray unit to spray the vents the same color as the house, first class, not brush painted. The office staff was excellent with their involvement and notifications to us. The vents are very well designed and made of commercial grade metals. This will equal a life time of use. I've recommended others to Brandguard for all of the above mentions reasons. They are a first class, professional group from top to bottom. If you want an excellent product, exceptional installation and ease of grant paper work I highly recommend this company. Thanks Brandguard and T & T construction. read more

Our home is on a canyon here in San Diego. Local fire men have indicated that the primary threat to homes built of stucco with tie roofs are that flying embers can enter the attic ventilation vents and start fires inside the attic which then cause the house to burn from the inside out. We researched having our vents fire-proofed and were directed to Brandguard Vents that specialize in this very thing. They work directly with an installer named Bill Bozarth of T&T Home Solutions, Inc. Tammi is the Exec. Asst. with Brandguard that coordinated the project. Bill did an excellent job in the installation of the new vents and Tammi kept me informed with timely communication. We feel so much safer now. read more

Great service, knowledgeable, & reliable group of professionals. I am completely satisfied with the service & installation of my vents!

We live in an area of Malibu that has plenty of fuel to burn from the surrounding parks and recently had Brandguard vents installed at our house. The Brandguard vents replaced the older gable vents in the attic. The company showed up, painted the vents to match the color of the house trim and installed the vents all within a couple of hours. Not only do the vents look great but more importantly, they will add that extra layer of protection against embers entering the attic when the next wildfire hits. In addition to staying on top of brush clearance, making sure you have protection from open vents is a big part of "hardening-your-home." I recommend giving Brandguard a call and they can help walk you through the process step-by-step. read more

We received a Grant that would pay for the installation of vents that would prevent our home from embers/ashes and to prevent fires from travelling through vents in our home. We contacted two vendors to obtain quotes for the vents and the first sales representative we met did not appear to know anything about vents; in fact she said we might have three vents that we could ask to have covered;however according to the second vendor we had approximately 50 vents. I spent approximately one-half hour with the representative who was very nice but knew absolutely nothing about vents!After meeting with the first vendor, I contacted Brandguard vents and spoke with Kelly, one of the owners of the company and immediately liked her. Kelly was very pleasant and was very knowledgeable about vents, fire mitigation and how to protect our home. Kelly explained the products, how the free evaluation/quote works and she also explained how/why the product was developed , and said her husband Brent is a firefighter and he and she developed the product and they work together to install vents. Kelly scheduled an appointment to come out and look at three properties and she and her husband, Brent, could not have been more professional or respectful of our home. A written estimate was provided that was under budget and Kelly and Brent explained the charges, timelines for getting the job done and discussed the products that would be used by their company. When Brent went into my attic, he was very careful to wipe the attic cover and he and Kelly explained that when they started the company together, their goal was to make sure customers were treated as family and with respect and that any job done on someone's home, would be done with care and respect and cleaned up and look like it was or, in some cases, look better. Kelly and Brent did three homes for me and the quality of the work, the attention to detail and keeping me informed regarding the progress was outstanding. Brent showed me two attics that had ashes on the floor that most likely came from the wild fires and he explained how the vents would prevent ashes/embers from getting into our home. Brent and Kelly's attention to detail was outstanding and Tom,(another firefighter) and his son, installed vents at our home was 100% customer service oriented and explained the extra work he did on my home to make sure the color is perfect and the home not only looks fabulous - we are protected by vents if/when we experience another fire. Kelly., Brent, Tom and his son get rave reviews from our family and I have recommended their company to all of my friends and family. It's great to know a company that makes you feel like family and a company that doesn't cause you to miss work because the employees have to be micromanaged. Kelly, Brent, Tom and son - much better than five stars! Thanks for all of your hard work! read more
