Additions and remodeling in San Dimas, Los Angeles County
Home additions in San Dimas
A San Dimas addition built for inland suburban conditions gets deep insulation, reflective roofing, sealed openings and drainage that leads storm water away.
Inland suburban lots in general share a set of conditions that shape any addition: strong sun, dry wind and the occasional hard winter storm. A San Dimas addition is designed with that setting in mind. A bedroom or family room built for it stays cooler, keeps dust out and sheds water away from its footings, which matters most when the room is where children sleep or play.
Heat and dust
Walls framed with 2x6 studs hold thicker insulation, and a reflective roof over a vented attic keeps heat from building above the ceiling. Low-e dual-pane windows on the sunny sides cut the glare that reaches a desk or a crib. Weatherstripping at every door and careful sealing around outlets and ducts keep dry wind from carrying dust into the room. A ductless heat pump can serve the addition on its own, so the existing system does not have to stretch to reach it.
Storms, drainage and the permit
Hard rain after a long dry spell runs off quickly, so gutters are sized for the new roof and downspouts lead to splash blocks or a drain line well clear of the foundation. The soil around the addition is graded to fall away from the walls. Plan review for San Dimas covers zoning, structure and energy, and an inspector checks the footings, framing and rough trades before the walls close. Everyone keeps living at home through the build, and the connecting wall waits until the end.
