⚠️ California just updated its Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps — and 12 Contra Costa County cities are now officially designated Very High risk. Orinda. Lafayette. Moraga. Danville. Richmond hills. San Pablo. El Cerrito.

If your home is on that list, here's what California law now says about your roof AND gutters:

🏠 ROOF: Must be Class A fire-rated. Damaged or aging shingles that expose underlayment are a compliance risk.
🌿 GUTTERS: Must be metal (vinyl disqualifies you). Must be clear of leaves, needles, and debris — debris buildup is a fire code violation.
🔩 COVERS: 1/8" ember-resistant metal mesh covers are specifically listed in the state's Wildfire Prepared Home checklist.

We inspect and handle all three — roofing and gutters together, in one visit, with a written compliance summary you can send to your insurance agent.

Free fire zone inspection. No obligation.

We get called "the gutter guys" a lot.

That's fair — we've been cleaning, installing, and repairing gutters across the Bay Area since 2002. But we're also roofers. Full service: new roofs, roof repairs, storm damage, emergency tarping, flashing, inspections.

Why does that matter to you?

Because gutters and roofing are the same system. Water runs off your roof, into your gutters, and away from your foundation. When one part fails, it puts pressure on the others. A leaking gutter can rot your fascia. Damaged flashing sends water under your shingles. A sagging section backs water up to your eave.

When you call Sunshine Gutters & Roofing, one crew handles the whole picture. We don't hand you off. We don't tell you "the roof part isn't our problem."

One crew. One call. One guarantee.�

Moraga-Orinda Fire Hardening Programs Free Products • Insurance Savings • Expert Installation
Prepared for homeowners in Moraga, Orinda & Canyon
by Sunshine Gutters & Roofing | (510) 525-0880
⚠ MOFD Grant Program deadline: June 30, 2026 ⚠

If you own a home in Moraga, Orinda, or Canyon, you’re in one of the Bay Area’s highest fire-risk zones — but you also have access to programs that most homeowners don’t know exist.
This guide explains every program available to you right now, what they cover, what they cost (hint: some are completely free), and exactly how to take advantage of them.
Sunshine Gutters & Roofing is your local contractor and guide through every step. We handle the work, the paperwork, and the documentation — so you get every benefit you’re entitled to.

Program 1 — Free Ember-Resistant Gutter Guards
Provided by: Moraga-Orinda Fire District (MOFD) • Cost to you: $0 for the product
MOFD will ship HomeSafe stainless steel mesh gutter guards directly to your home at no cost. These guards prevent embers and debris from collecting in your gutters — one of the most common ways fire spreads to a home.
How it works:
1. You apply online at mofd.org/home-hardening-grant-program (we’ll help you fill it out) 2. MOFD ships the guards to your home in approximately 30 days
3. We install them professionally — you pay only for installation labor
Deadline: June 30, 2026 — this program closes permanently. Apply now.

Program 2 — Ember-Resistant Vent Upgrade (Up to $1,000 Back)
Provided by: MOFD • Reimbursement: Up to $1,000 for product cost
Standard plastic vents are one of the biggest fire vulnerabilities in a home. MOFD will reimburse you for the cost of upgrading to California-approved ember-resistant vents.
How it works:
1. We supply and install OSFM-approved ember-resistant vents
2. We provide you with a clean, itemized invoice (product and labor separated) 3. You submit the invoice to MOFD and receive a reimbursement check for the product cost 4. You pay for installation labor — the product cost comes back to you
Note: New construction and code-mandated remodels are not eligible — retrofits only.

Program 3 — Mandatory Insurance Discount
Required by: California law (CDI “Safer from Wildfires”) • Available: Permanently, after qualifying work
California law requires every homeowner’s insurance company — including the FAIR Plan — to lower your premium when you complete verified fire-hardening improvements. This is not optional for insurers. It’s the law.
Work that qualifies for a discount:
• Metal gutter installation or replacement
• Ember-resistant gutter guard installation
• Class A fire-rated roof replacement
• Ember-resistant vent installation
• Enclosed eave work
Estimated savings:
• $200–$800 per year for gutters and guards alone
• Homeowners combining roof + gutters + vents: typically 20–30% off wildfire premium • Applies to both private insurers and FAIR Plan policies

How it works:
1. We complete your fire-hardening work
2. Within 48 hours, we deliver a complete Wildfire Mitigation Documentation Package 3. You submit it to your insurer and request a rate review – we will guide you through it 4. Your insurer applies the discount — we follow up at 30 days to confirm

Program 4 — The Complete Fire-Hardening Package
The single most effective thing you can do for your home’s fire safety — and your insurance premium — is to do it all in one project:
• Class A fire-rated roof replacement
• Enclosed eave work
• Ember-resistant vent installation (with MOFD reimbursement)
• Metal gutter installation or replacement
• HomeSafe gutter guard installation (free product from MOFD)
One contractor. One project. Every program maximized. You get maximum fire protection, maximum insurance savings, and a single point of contact for everything.
Bonus Resources in Your Area
These programs are separate from the main MOFD grant but available to homeowners in your area. We’re happy to point you in the right direction on any of these.
Program
What You Get
Free MOFD Home Assessment
A free, non-enforcement walkthrough of your property by a trained MOFD volunteer. You get a personalized checklist of recommended improvements. We can attend with you as your contractor if you wish.
FSMO Group Grant (Up to $10K)
If 5 or more neighbors apply together, you can receive matching funds for hazardous vegetation removal. Ask us how to organize a group application.
FSMO Vulnerable Resident Grant
Low-income or elderly residents may qualify for 100% coverage of a vegetation removal project. Contact FSMO directly.
Orinda Free Chipper Service
Orinda residents can schedule free haul-away of cut vegetation at reserve.chipperday.com/orinda.
Orinda Fire Fuel Mitigation Incentive
Orinda residents may qualify for matching funds for vegetation removal through Measure R. Visit cityoforinda.gov for details.

How It Works — Your Next Steps
Step 1: Call us or fill out the intake form
We’ll verify your fire zone and jurisdiction in 60 seconds.
Step 2: Free estimate and site visit
We assess your gutters, vents, roof, and eaves — and tell you exactly what you’re eligible for. Step 3: We help you apply
We sit with you to complete the MOFD application and attach our quote.
Step 4: We do the work
Professional installation by a licensed, insured California contractor (CSLB #1053780). Step 5: We deliver your documentation
Within 48 hours, you receive a complete Wildfire Mitigation Documentation Package for your insurer.
Step 6: We follow up
At 30 days, we check that your insurance discount has been applied.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is there really no cost for the gutter guards?
The product is free from MOFD. You pay only for professional installation by Sunshine Gutters & Roofing.
Q: How much will I save on my insurance?
Savings vary by insurer and scope of work, but homeowners doing gutters and guards alone typically save $200–$800 per year. Adding roof, vents, and eaves can reduce your wildfire premium by 20–30%.
Q: Do I have to use a specific contractor?
No — you can use any licensed contractor. However, Sunshine Gutters & Roofing handles the full process from application through documentation, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Q: What if my insurer won’t apply the discount?
They’re legally required to. We provide a complete documentation package that meets CDI requirements. If your insurer pushes back, we’ll help you escalate.
Q: Does my roof have to be replaced to qualify?
No. Gutter guards and vent upgrades qualify on their own. But if your roof is aging, replacing it as part of the same project maximizes both your protection and your insurance savings.
Q: What is the FAIR Plan?
The California FAIR Plan is the state’s insurer of last resort for homeowners who can’t get coverage from private companies. As of November 2025, FAIR Plan policies are also required to apply fire-hardening discounts.
Q: Can I apply for MOFD programs if I live in Walnut Creek?
Only if your address falls within MOFD jurisdiction. Not all Walnut Creek addresses qualify — we’ll verify your exact eligibility.
Q: What happens after the June 30 deadline?
The MOFD Home Hardening Grant Program closes permanently. Free gutter guards and vent reimbursement will no longer be available. The CDI insurance discount program has no deadline.

A custom-made gutter system, often seamless, offers benefits like reduced leaks, minimal maintenance, and a perfect fit for your home, while also enhancing curb appeal and potentially saving money in the long run.
Here's a more detailed look at the advantages:
1. Reduced Leaks and Clogs:
Seamless Design:
Custom gutters are typically made from a single piece of material, eliminating seams and joints, which are common points of leaks and debris accumulation.
Precise Fit:
They are custom-made to fit your home's unique roofline and angles, ensuring a tight seal and preventing water from seeping in.
Improved Water Flow:
Fewer joints mean smoother water flow, reducing the chances of clogs and standing water.
2. Enhanced Durability and Longevity:
Stronger Construction:
Custom gutters are often made from durable materials like aluminum, which are less prone to damage and rust compared to traditional sectional gutters.
Long-Lasting Investment:
Their durability translates to a longer lifespan and reduced need for replacements or repairs.
3. Low Maintenance and Easy Cleaning:
Reduced Debris Accumulation:
The seamless design minimizes debris buildup, leading to less frequent cleaning and maintenance.
Easier Cleaning:
When cleaning is necessary, the smooth surfaces of custom gutters are easier to clean than the joints and seams of traditional gutters.
4. Aesthetic Appeal and Curb Appeal:
Customized Design:
Custom gutters can be tailored to match your home's style, color, and material, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.
Sleek and Modern Look:
The seamless design creates a clean, modern look that can improve your home's curb appeal.
5. Long-Term Cost Savings:
Reduced Repair Costs:
The reduced risk of leaks and clogs translates to fewer repairs and replacements, saving you money in the long run.
Protection of Your Home:
A well-functioning gutter system protects your home's foundation, walls, and landscaping from water damage, preventing costly repairs.
