Additions and remodeling in Valley Glen, Los Angeles County
Home additions in Valley Glen
Valley Glen home additions follow the same steps as in Van Nuys, Encino and Sherman Oaks: a measured survey, engineered drawings, LADBS, then the build.
One method carries a home addition in Valley Glen, and it is the same one we bring to Van Nuys, Lake Balboa, Panorama City, Valley Village, Sherman Oaks and Encino. A measured survey of the house comes first, then drawings with an engineer, city plan check, and a build that keeps the family living at home. Each of those places sits within Los Angeles, so the permit office stays the same too.
The order of the work
The survey records the walls, the roof framing, the panel and the plumbing runs. From that, a designer drafts the layout and an engineer sizes the new footings and beams. The set goes to LADBS, and while it is in review the family picks windows, flooring and fixtures so they are ready when building starts. Foundation, framing, roofing, rough trades, insulation and drywall follow in turn, and the finishes close it out. A walkthrough at the end lists anything left to touch up.
Living at home during it
Most of an addition happens outside the existing walls. Work runs from the yard or the roof, the house stays sealed behind temporary barriers, and the opening into the old rooms is left for late in the job. Dust walls with zipper doors protect the hallway when that cut is made. Bedrooms, the kitchen and the bathrooms stay in use, and the work area is cleaned and closed each afternoon so children and pets can keep to their usual routines without stepping around tools.
