Sun FireDefense

Dear Sun FireDefense,

In a most timely manner, your company has completed the painting of our new house and simultaneously the treating of all stucco and wood with your amazing fire retardant. The finished work is not only beautiful, but also provides us with a sense of comfort in a time when the news is filled with stories of raging wild-fires. I would highly recommend your product and service to anyone.

With All Best Wishes,

Dean Koontz

“As a ranch manager and former estate manager at Neverland Ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley (also a California certified Firefighter), I have always had to prepare my client’s properties and their staff for the inevitability of fire. With the assistance of our director of safety and security, I conducted a private test of your materials at Neverland Ranch and was highly impressed with the performance of your product under a controlled yet extreme condition. After our private test, we had you apply to several key structures that were considered to be high risk for embers from wildfires. I personally recommend your product.”

Kyle F. Manager of Neverland Ranch in Santa Ynez, CA

"During that time, we lived through 2 wildfires, one of which got to within a quarter mile of the house. I have always felt like we were on borrowed time. But now, having gotten the house treated by Sun FireDefense, I feel much greater peace of mind. I still plan to evacuate if a fire comes close, but I am now confident that the house will still be here when I get back. That is far greater assurance than any amount of insurance can give me."

Brad G. Homeowner in Topanga, CA

"I have lived here in Topanga for 11 years. Sun FireDefense’s coatings are a game changer in fire protection. I wish their products existed back when I was an active firefighter. This is helping save lives and property."

"Twice over the past decade, my wife and I have seen the flames of wildfires approach the beautiful home we built. Sun Fire Defense was the only company we’ve come across that offered a fire retardant solution that wasn’t last-minute. The process of treating our house was straightforward and took less than a week. Knowing our home and treasured family heirlooms are better protected from fire has given us much greater peace of mind. Thank you!"

Claude C. Homeowner in Rancho Santa Fe, California

"We learned about Sun Fire Defense online after being referred by our local Fire Captain, Kevin Buckley. We decided to treat our house based on testimonials from other customers. Insurance had also requested that we put a fire-resistant coating on the house. The crew was fast and courteous and we now feel safer knowing the property is better protected.”

Terri & Dennis C., Homeowners in Painted Cave, CA

"I live in a high-fire zone and have an all wood shingle house and I worry a lot about fire. I had a similar treatment done many years ago and was long overdue to have it done again. I was glad to come across Sun Fire Defense.”

Marilyn F., Homeowner in Santa Barbara, California

"Fires are a constant threat in the area of my residence as there is a large number of Eucalyptus trees to the east and north east of us. This is the direction Santa Ana Winds would bring a threat to our neighborhood. I found out about Sun FireDefense through a mailer that was sent out. Prior to this, I had in mind that a fire retardant application would be wise in light of the threat we face. From the mailer and contact I learned more about intumescent coatings and how it would be applied by a painting contractor to our building. The crew that came out to do the work was knowledgeable and efficient in conducting the work. Now that the work is completed I feel a sense of relief that we have some protection from wildfires"
