First 30 days after a wildfire

1

File your insurance claim immediately — don't wait for the debris to cool

2

Request a full itemized scope of loss from your adjuster in writing

3

Do NOT accept the first settlement offer — initial offers are almost always based on wood-frame costs

4

Document code-upgrade requirements specific to your WUI zone (these are often missed)

5

Do not sign any contractor agreements until you have a written scope and price

6

Register with FEMA at DisasterAssistance.gov if your county has a disaster declaration

7

Apply for the SBA low-interest disaster loan (even if you don't need it — required for some FEMA programs)

8

Secure your lot — protect boundary markers and lot documentation

9

Photograph the site extensively before any clearing begins

10

Contact a rebuild specialist before hiring a GC — structure matters more than speed

IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Plus

The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) Wildfire Prepared Home Plus is the most rigorous private-sector standard combining construction hardening and Home Ignition Zone hardening. Every StackHaus wildfire rebuild is built to meet this standard — not as an add-on, but as the baseline.

WUI zone primer: If your property is in a Wildland-Urban Interface zone, California's Chapter 7A fire-resistant construction requirements apply to your rebuild. These include ignition-resistant materials, non-combustible eaves, ember-resistant vents, and a defensible space perimeter. StackHaus builds all of this into the fixed price.

30-year structural warranty on the concrete shell of every StackHaus wildfire rebuild.
