Office & Retail Renovation in Sherman Oaks
Office and retail remodeling in Sherman Oaks, with roof drains, flashing and storefront sills planned so water leaves the building the way it should.
Inland sun bakes sealant until it cracks, and a hard storm finds every weak seam. In a Sherman Oaks shop or office remodel, the work that keeps water out sits where new meets old: the roof drain, the flashing above the glass, the sill under the door. Fernhill Builders plans those joints before the finishes are chosen, since a handsome ceiling does not survive a slow leak above it.
Roof drains and flashing
A remodel that adds a rooftop unit, a skylight or a new vent opens the roof, and every opening needs flashing that laps over the roofing below it. On a flat roof the drains and scuppers are checked for clear paths, and ponding spots are noted before any new penetration is cut. Parapet caps and the wall-to-roof junction get a look too, because water often enters at the edge of a roof and shows up as a stain on a ceiling several feet away. Repairs are priced into the scope so they are not found later.
Sills, thresholds and the slab edge
At the storefront, water has to be led out and away. A sill pan under the glass catches what gets past the sealant and sends it to the outside face, and the threshold is set so the pavement slopes away from the door. If the lot slopes toward the entrance, a drain or a regraded strip is added. Sealant joints are tooled and left to cure before the first cleaning, and weep paths in the frame are kept free of caulk.

Office & Retail Renovation in Sherman Oaks: common questions
A part of it can. We divide the floor into phases, wall off the open area and keep a clear walkway to the entrance. Because roof or glass work can affect the whole space, those steps are scheduled with you ahead of time and the loud days are noted on the plan.
Yes. We remove the old glass and frames and install new tempered or rated glazing, set in a sill pan that drains to the outside. The glass type goes on the written scope, so you know what is being installed before anything is ordered.
We take care of it. Our team prepares the drawings, sends them to the Los Angeles building department, and meets the inspectors. Sherman Oaks is permitted through the City of Los Angeles, so corrections come back to us and we handle them.
