Inland valley ground, well back from the water, tends to bring strong sun, dry wind and now and then a hard winter storm. That general pattern guides how we plan a whole-house remodel in Granada Hills: which wood sash and siding boards have dried out and checked, where stucco has split along a window head, and which original trim can be kept with epoxy and paint once new wiring and pipe sit behind the plaster.

Fire hazard maps and the outside of the house

Fire hazard mapping covers portions of Granada Hills, so a lot there may have to meet ember-resistance rules once exterior work is permitted. Where they apply, attic and crawlspace vents get fine metal mesh, gaps at the eaves are closed, and replacement glazing is tempered. An original wood window can often stay, with its sash repaired and a second pane or storm unit added to meet the rule. We confirm the mapping for the exact address before drawing, so the choice between keeping and replacing an opening is made on the actual requirement, never on a guess.

Behind the plaster, and the permit office

Inside, the work follows the walls. Cloth-wrapped knob-and-tube runs come out, a panel sized for the new layout goes in, and galvanized supply lines give way to copper or PEX while the cavities are open. Plaster that still grips its lath is patched. Plaster that has let go is replaced with board and a skim coat. Granada Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so LADBS reviews the plans and inspects each stage, and the same office covers Porter Ranch, Northridge, North Hills, Mission Hills, Reseda and Chatsworth, which keeps the process identical across those neighborhoods.
