Full Home Remodeling in North Hollywood
Whole-home remodeling in North Hollywood that follows water from the roof edge to the soil, so new rooms stay dry. Written scope, priced in sections.
A downspout that empties beside the foundation can undo a good remodel from the ground up. On a North Hollywood whole-house job we follow water from the roof edge down to the soil, because the new rooms inside are only as dry as the path outside. Gutters, leaders, the grade along the foundation and the flashing around every window and door get traced before a finish is picked.
From roof edge to soil
Roof water collects in valleys, runs off the eaves and lands wherever the downspouts send it. We check that each valley and eave has a gutter or a clear drip edge, that leaders reach past the foundation or tie into a drain line, and that the soil beside the house falls away from the wall. In a hard storm a short leader can soak the same patch of ground. Any extension or regrading shows in the scope as its own line, apart from interior work.
Openings in the wall
Windows and doors are where water meets the wall. With the walls open on a whole-house job, flashing can be done properly: a sloped sill pan, tape lapped over the nailing flange, and weather barrier layered from the bottom up so water always meets a lower edge. Stucco needs a weep screed that stays clear of soil and paving, so it can drain. Those details get written into the scope opening by opening, with a general note only as a backstop. That lets you compare the flashing plan against the windows you intend to keep and the ones that are going.
Full Home Remodeling in North Hollywood: questions
Outside first: we trace where roof water goes, then check the framing, the panel and the plumbing inside. Drainage items are listed ahead of the layout work in the written scope, so the drawings submitted for permit already account for them.
Totals are grouped as framing and utilities, envelope, and finishes. Gutters, flashing and grading fall under the envelope total, which keeps them visible by themselves. A new countertop or floor never touches that total, so you can see exactly what the water-side work involves.
Interior phasing can keep one bathroom and a cooking spot available. While windows are replaced and walls repaired, the house is open to the outside for a short while, and an empty house is easier to manage then. The quote says which fits.
