Openings, decks and shade in North Hollywood, Los Angeles County
Wide Doors and Shaded Patios in North Hollywood
Palmcrest Contractors runs North Hollywood, Sun Valley and Valley Village jobs on one method, with one plan for wide doors, a level patio and shade above.
Sun Valley, Valley Village, Valley Glen, Toluca Lake and Van Nuys are close to North Hollywood, and a job in any of them is handled the way it is here. One engineer sizes the header over the new doors, one drawing set places the patio and its cover against that opening, and one schedule carries the work from the first cut in the wall to the last fixture under the shade.
Permits from street to street
Most of these places belong to the City of Los Angeles, so their drawings are filed with LADBS and plan check reads them the same way. Even so, we confirm the jurisdiction from each address before filing, since a lot near a boundary can fall to a neighboring city. The set itself stays the same, with the engineer's header and post sizing, the ledger or freestanding posts for the cover, any deck framing and the rated values of the new glass. Each reviewer note is answered on paper before work starts.
Room and patio at one height
Inside, the new doors decide how the room is furnished, so we place the opening where a sofa or a dining table can face the yard. Outside, pavers or a low deck are set just under the sill with a gentle fall away from the house, and a channel drain at the threshold catches what the slope misses. A louvered roof or a solid cover keeps the glass shaded on an inland valley lot when the sun is hardest. Wiring for a fan, outlets and soft lighting goes in while the framing is still open.
