Fire Repair and Hardening in Granada Hills
Fire repair and ember resistant upgrades for Granada Hills homes, with LADBS drawings, product listings and each inspection handled by Fernhill Builders.
Before a hardened wall or a new window goes into a Granada Hills house, an LADBS plan checker has to accept the drawings and an LADBS inspector has to see the work while it is still open. Mapped fire hazard zones reach into Granada Hills, so a given lot may be held to ember resistance rules. We aim to make both reviews short: clear sheets, complete listings and nothing covered early.
Sheets a reviewer can check quickly
A plan checker looking at an ember resistant exterior compares each assembly on the sheets with a tested listing. Our set gives the vent maker and model with its ember rating, the glass in each new window, the full wall build from stud to finish coat, and the way the eave is closed. The maker's data sheets travel with the submittal. If a correction notice comes back, we answer it item by item in a short letter and revise only the sheets it names, so the second review covers less ground than the first.
Keeping the work open for inspection
Each layer of a hardened wall is seen before the next one hides it. Framing repairs and fire blocking are inspected with the cavities exposed. Lath and building paper are inspected ahead of the scratch coat. Windows are looked at once they are flashed and set, and the vents, the enclosed eave and the finished wall are confirmed at final. We schedule each visit and keep the signed job card at the house. Closing a wall ahead of a signature only means opening it again later, which wastes plaster and days.
