Across Marin, residents are actively seeking contractors who understand the materials, methods, and requirements involved in hardening homes against wildfire. While some upgrades—like installing ⅛-inch ember-resistant mesh—are relatively straightforward, others require technical skill and buy-in from the professionals doing the work. As demand grows, so does the need for builders who are equipped and informed to meet it.
To help bridge that gap, Fire Safe Marin hosted a conversation with Battalion Chief Todd Lando, Marin Builders Association Executive Officer Rick Wells, and contractor Adam Diaz of AJD Builders, Inc.—a member of the MBA whose business has fully embraced wildfire resilience. Guided by host Rich Shortall, this discussion highlights how contractors can grow their business while contributing to safer communities. Diaz, who comes from fire-prone Santa Rosa, shares how wildfire awareness has become a central part of his company’s mission.
This training aims to inspire building professionals to not only support clients with wildfire safety goals, but to integrate resilience into every project.
