Kitchen-First Remodeling in San Fernando
Navon Home runs San Fernando remodels with the same kitchen-first steps used in Pacoima, Sylmar and Mission Hills: layout, rough work, inspection, finish.
San Fernando sits among Pacoima, Sylmar, Mission Hills, Arleta, Lake View Terrace and Panorama City, and a kitchen job in any of them follows one sequence with us. The layout is measured and drawn, rough gas, plumbing and wiring go in, inspectors sign off, and then cabinets, counters and floors follow. What differs from one address to the next is the paperwork, since the permit office depends on which side of a city line the house stands.
Two permit offices on one map
San Fernando is a city of its own, so a remodel inside its limits goes to the City of San Fernando building department. Pacoima, Sylmar and the other communities around it are part of the City of Los Angeles and file with LADBS. We confirm the parcel's jurisdiction before drawings start, because fee schedules, forms and the way inspections are booked differ between the two offices. The drawing set itself carries the same detail in both places: appliance circuits, gas sizing, the hood route and any framing change where a wall opens or a window moves.
Ventilation in an inland kitchen
Inland valley kitchens can get warm when the sun is strong and the air is dry, and a range adds heat to the room. A hood sized to the cooktop and ducted outdoors pulls that heat and the cooking moisture out, and a makeup air path may be required when the fan is large. We plan the duct route before cabinet sizes are fixed, since a duct through the wall cabinets takes space from storage. A window near the range gets low-e glass or a shade if it catches afternoon light, which also protects cabinet finishes.
What we plan and build in San Fernando
Every project here starts the same way: a measured layout, then the lines behind the walls, then finishes.
