Every line in a Chatsworth quote from Fernhill names one assembly: a vent, a window, a door, a wall face or a roof edge, with the product, its fire listing and the labor to fit it. Chatsworth includes land inside mapped fire hazard zones, which means ember resistance rules may govern a given lot, and any line those rules demand is marked as required. Upgrades you can choose are grouped and priced on their own.

Required items and chosen ones

When the building department confirms that a lot is in a mapped zone, new exterior work must follow Chapter 7A of the California Building Code. That can mean listed ember resistant vents, a tempered pane in each insulated window, and ignition resistant siding or stucco wherever a wall is opened. Those items show in the quote with the code section beside them. Work the code does not force, such as replacing sound windows or enclosing eaves the job never touches, sits in its own group so each piece can be accepted or left out.

What can shift the total

Some conditions stay hidden until a wall or roof is opened: rot under a window sill, charred studs behind plaster, or a vent framed to an odd size that no listed product fits. The quote names the spots where opening up may reveal more, so that possibility is in writing before demolition. Product choice moves the number too, since a fiberglass window frame and an aluminum one differ, as do tile and metal roofing. Scope that grows during the job is written up and agreed before the added work begins.
