Fire repair and hardening in West Hollywood, Los Angeles County
Deck and Balcony Hardening in West Hollywood
Deck, balcony and fence hardening for West Hollywood houses, run the same way as in Beverly Hills, Palms, Culver City, Studio City and Toluca Lake.
A West Hollywood job uses the same steps as one in Beverly Hills, Culver City, Palms, Studio City, Toluca Lake or Valley Village. We inspect the outside of the house, write a scope that names each assembly, then prepare drawings for whichever office holds the address. That last part is the one that varies. West Hollywood and Culver City review their own permits, Beverly Hills has its own division, and the Los Angeles neighborhoods on that list go to LADBS.
Balconies and decks against the wall
A wood deck or balcony fastened to the house can carry a fire straight to the siding and the door beside it. We start at the ledger, where the deck meets the wall, and look for rot, missing flashing and corroded hangers. Boards can be replaced with ignition resistant or noncombustible decking, and the gaps under a low deck can be screened or enclosed so leaves stop piling up underneath. Railings and stair treads get the same review. Where the frame below is sound, the surface can be renewed without rebuilding the structure.
Where a fence meets the house
A wood fence that runs into the wall works like a fuse. If it catches at the far end, the flame can travel along the boards to the siding. We suggest a short noncombustible section at the junction, usually a metal gate or a masonry pier, so the fence stops before it touches the house. Trellises and wood screens attached to the wall can be treated the same way. These changes leave the yard looking much as it did, and each one is priced on its own so you can pick the ones that suit your lot.
