Defensible space
inspections,
independent of
contractor sales.

You need a photographed action plan for this property, and you do not want that walk to turn into a construction pitch.

Christopher Gallego

When you are ready to protect the house and you still need a photographed action plan, someone has to show up with a scope, a camera, and a report. That is the gap: you are willing, and you do not know what the work is.

I inspect observable wildfire-mitigation and defensible-space conditions, and you keep every construction decision. Wildfire mitigation is the discipline behind the walk. The product name on the door is a defensible space inspection, which is the phrase San Diego fee schedules already use.

You leave with a photographed action plan for this address, detailed enough to act on, and what the authority, the insurer, or the other party to the sale does with it is theirs.
