Fire Rebuild & Reconstruction in Granada Hills
Granada Hills fire rebuilds with roof valleys, gutters, tile ends and attached decks detailed to the wildfire chapter for LADBS plan check on mapped lots.
On a Granada Hills rebuild, the LADBS reviewer reads the roof sheet closely. Granada Hills includes ground the state maps for fire hazard, and for those lots the wildfire chapter reaches past the roof covering itself. Valleys need metal flashing over a mineral surfaced cap sheet, gutters need a way to keep leaves out, and open tile ends need to be closed. We draw each detail, so the roof can clear plan check without a correction.
Roof details the reviewer checks
The reviewer looks for the roof covering's listing and the full assembly beneath it, since a Class A rating can depend on the underlayment. Valley flashing is corrosion resistant metal laid over the cap sheet. Where tile or another profile leaves a gap at the eave or ridge, bird stops or a closure fill it so embers cannot lodge there. Gutters carry guards, and drip edge laps over them. Attic vents in the roof plane are listed ember resistant units, and each appears on the vent schedule.
Decks and structures that touch the house
The reviewer also looks at what attaches to the house. On a mapped parcel, an attached deck, a patio cover or a carport becomes part of the exterior, so its deck surface or its roof must meet the wildfire chapter. We show the decking product and its listing, the framing below, and any patio cover roof as a rated assembly. A shed or fence close to the walls is noted too, since the reviewer may ask how it is built.

We answer once the burned rooms and attic are open. Surface char on framing, a slab with no heat cracks and wiring that tests safe support a repair. Structural damage through most of the house makes a new build the better use of the claim. Our findings and reasoning come to you on paper.
Yes. A rebuild on a mapped parcel can require roof, deck and vent details the old house never had, and those are easy to miss in an estimate. We match the adjuster's figures to our scope and the code the parcel faces, mark each gap and give you that copy for the carrier.
Some Granada Hills parcels are on the state hazard map, so yours may fall under the wildfire chapter. If it does, plan for ember resistant vents, enclosed eaves, multipane glazing with a tempered layer, rated siding, a Class A roof and rated decking near the house. We confirm the map status before drawing begins.
