Kitchen Remodeling in Bel Air
Navon Home begins a Bel Air kitchen remodel beneath the floor: joists, subfloor and drain paths, then LADBS plan check, ember rules and the finishes.
On a Bel Air kitchen visit, our flashlight goes under the floor before anyone opens a cabinet catalog. Through a crawlspace hatch or from a room below, we note which way the joists run, how the subfloor looks around the old sink and where the drain and vent lines travel. Those answers tell us whether an island sink or a heavy stone top can go where the design wants it, and the layout is drawn around what we find.
Framing, drains and an island
When joists cross the path an island drain has to take, the pipe can run parallel to them, use a loop vent under the counter or drop into a short soffit in the room below. A soft subfloor or stains from an old leak under the sink get repaired before new flooring goes down. Over a slab, a drain move means saw-cutting concrete, priced as its own item. Plans for Bel Air are reviewed by LADBS for the City of Los Angeles, whose inspector checks venting and any framing change before the floor closes.
Ember rules on the outside wall
Parts of Bel Air fall within mapped fire hazard zones, and outside changes on a lot there may need to meet ember-resistance rules. A kitchen window that grows larger takes dual glazing with a tempered pane, a hood that exits through siding needs a damper that closes on its own, and an added eave or crawlspace vent gets a noncombustible screen with small openings. Plan check for the parcel confirms what applies, and those items are drawn and priced first. Interior selections follow, from cabinets and counters to flooring, drywall and paint.
What we plan and build in Bel Air
Every project here starts the same way: a measured layout, then the lines behind the walls, then finishes.
