Kitchen Remodeling in Sunland-Tujunga
With fire hazard maps covering some of Sunland-Tujunga, Navon Home checks the kitchen's outside wall, window and hood cap before drawing the layout.
Before we step into a Sunland-Tujunga kitchen, we walk the outside of its exterior wall. Fire hazard maps take in some of the area, and on a mapped lot, ember-resistance rules can apply whenever a window, vent or wall opening changes. The sink window, the hood's wall cap, any vents and the siding around them tell us what the permit may ask for before the inside layout is drawn.
Window, vent cap and siding
A replacement window in a mapped zone is generally expected to be a dual-pane unit with a tempered pane, or to carry a fire-resistance rating. A range hood that exits through the wall needs a cap with a damper that closes tight, and any attic or wall vent cut nearby may need a mesh or baffle design rated for embers. If siding comes off to set the window, the patch uses ignition-resistant material. We note each of these on the first visit so the quote carries them as separate lines.
Mountain lots and the LADBS review
The plans go to LADBS, because Sunland-Tujunga lies within Los Angeles city limits, and the reviewer checks the fire hazard requirements with them. Mountain areas in general see dry wind and the odd hard storm. If the lot slopes toward the house, we check the flashing at the window and the clearance between the sill plate and the soil when the wall is open. Inside, the layout work runs as it would anywhere: cabinets sized from the drawing, circuits and gas planned with them, and finishes chosen last.
