Wildfire Safety Solutions

Northern California
As a participant in the Certified Contractor Program, I have had nothing but positive experiences with MitigateNow (formerly Ember Defense). Over the past three years, the team at MitigateNow has helped grow our business through a combination of marketing support, home hardening expertise, product fulfillment and a commitment to support the growth of our business. The team has helped develop creative solutions to difficult home hardening problems and has been willing to work together to ensure the satisfaction of our clientele. I look forward to many more years of strong, committed relationship.

Adaptive Home Hardening

Bay Area, CA
Working with the MitigateNow team has been an outstanding experience from day one. Professional and knowledgeable is an understatement. Matt and team have always been available, even while out of country on “vacation”. The willingness to share knowledge in a very unique industry is a breath of fresh air to say the least. Taking a step back and looking at what they’re doing for both homeowners and contractors is even more important. In any niche industry it can be a challenge to find contractors, much less one you’re familiar and comfortable with. Running background and license checks as well as simply making sure the contractor is knowledgeable goes a long way in easing some of the anxiety home owners are feeling these days. I really can’t imagine where my business would be without everyone at MitigateNow, but I’m grateful for what they do and definitely looking forward to working with them for a long time.
