Kitchen Remodeling in Moorpark
Navon Home plans Moorpark kitchens for inland suburban conditions in general: a hood damper that shuts out dust and openings flashed against a hard storm.
Suburban areas inland, in general terms, deal with bright sun, long dry stretches and now and then a hard storm. Those are the conditions a Moorpark kitchen is planned for, without assuming anything about one street or lot. The layout comes first, and then the choices that answer the weather: the glass over the sink, the way the hood exits through the outside wall, and cabinet faces that sit in direct light.
A hood and openings that seal
Dry wind pushes fine dust through any gap it finds, and a kitchen has several: the hood damper, the joints around the window frame and the door to the yard. We specify a backdraft damper that shuts firmly when the fan is off, foam the gaps around a new window before trim goes on, and fit the exterior door with fresh weatherstrip and a sweep. We match the hood's width to the cooktop and run its duct outdoors on the shortest path the framing allows, which also keeps grease from building up in a long run.
Storm water and the Moorpark permit
When a heavy rain does arrive, water tests every new hole in the outside wall. The hood cap is flashed into the siding with the upper flashing lapped over the lower, and the window over the sink sits on a sloped sill pan that drains to the face of the wall. Inside, a sink base with a sealed floor panel limits damage from a slow leak. The building office that serves Moorpark handles plan check and the rough inspections. Kitchens in Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks and Oak Park get the same detailing.
What we plan and build in Moorpark
Every project here starts the same way: a measured layout, then the lines behind the walls, then finishes.
