I’m Gabriel Cortez, a former smokejumper and wildland firefighter. I started in wildland fire in 1998 and bring nearly 30 years of experience, numerous wildland fire qualifications, and a degree in Fire Ecology and Management from the University of Idaho.
I’ll personally review your home and property photos and send an annotated plan with up to three priorities supported by what I can see. I’ll identify anything that needs another photo or an on-site look. We’ll then meet by phone or video to discuss your plan. One follow-up photo review is included if needed.
How it works
Request your review. I’ll confirm the scope, photo instructions, delivery date, and invoice before you pay. Once your photos are complete, I’ll prepare your plan and arrange our call.
