About Us:
Shearman Builders was founded to fill a need for Home Hardening in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) of California. We focus on low-impact solutions to building needs, fire prevention, and sustainable building techniques.
Our organization is guided by a foundational commitment to sustainability. This extends beyond material use and sourcing – We create strategies for the long-term resilience of the communities we serve.
We specialize in the artful installation of wildfire retrofit solutions, recognizing that community investment begins with homes that residents are proud to live in and feel safe within.
By integrating aesthetics with evidence-based fire mitigation strategies, we demonstrate that safety and beauty are not competing values.
Our work aims to ensure that every homeowner can have a residence they can cherish, and a sanctuary in which they feel genuinely secure.
