How RF1 helps
We coordinate seismic + wildfire hardening together. Most LA foothill homes built before 1980 need both.
Most homeowners qualify on paper but never claim — hiring the crew, capturing the work to spec, and crafting the submission stops them. We run end-to-end home hardening with vetted installers, document every install for each program's filing, and stack every claim into one project.
