Valley Village Remodeling for Compact Houses
Valley Village remodeling: kitchens opened up, second baths added and backyard units built, with windows chosen for hard afternoon sun.
Valley Village is a San Fernando Valley neighborhood with its permits issued through LADBS. On a compact bungalow or small ranch house, we look for a little more space and a kitchen that opens to the rest of the home. We plan those changes so they suit the scale of the house, from one moved doorway to a backyard unit.
Small houses, better layouts
In a compact house, removing one wall or moving one doorway can change how every room feels. A kitchen opened to the dining area, a hall closet turned into a second bath, or a back bedroom given a door to the yard are the kind of changes that make the difference. Each change starts with checking what the wall carries and where pipes and wires run inside it. Where a beam is needed, an engineer sizes it. We list each move separately in the written quote, so the cost of rearranging the house is clear before a single wall comes down.
Light without the heat
More daylight in a bungalow is a fair goal, but larger windows on a sunny wall can overheat a room. Glass with a heat-reflecting coating, a modest roof overhang or a small awning keeps the light and cuts the heat. Skylights work well in interior halls and bathrooms when they are flashed correctly and sized to the room. We plan new openings with the sun in mind, check the framing around each one and repair the plaster or stucco so the change looks like it was always there.
