Ember Shield Systems are very professional and conscientious and worked hard to make sure everything was done right. They went above and beyond my expectation and I am a very happy customer. It is good to now have peace of mind knowing my house is safe from potential blowing embers.”

This company is very easy to work with and all employees I had contact with were very personable and helpful. They explain exactly what they are going to do and they do it that way. Their work area is very clean, and the work is done neatly. I will be recommending this company to friends.

I highly recommend Ember Shield if you are looking for a reliable company to install vents to prevent embers from entering your home. Jason explained clearly what work would be done and what it would cost. I asked about additional work and he explained they could do it, but didn’t try to sell us on anything we didn’t really need. We had one very tricky vent and they figured out a way to make it work. They showed up on time, worked all day and cleaned up after. Their work was excellent. I would hire then again if I ever need to install vents in another home.
