Inspection order sets the layout of a Sunland-Tujunga quote. Footings and piers come first, then bolts and plywood under the floor, then any beam or framing above it, then the exterior work that closes everything up. Each stage lists its own quantities, so a change found halfway, such as a soft sill or a cracked footing, shows exactly which stage it moves. No line is a lump sum without a count behind it.

Ember items on their own lines

Some of Sunland-Tujunga falls inside mapped fire hazard zones, so ember-resistance rules can apply to a lot there once the work reaches the outside of the house. Opening the lower siding to brace a cripple wall from outside, or swapping old foundation vents, can bring those rules into play. Replacement vents may call for a fine metal screen or an ember-resistant listing, and wall covering put back near grade may have to be ignition resistant. Those items get a stage of their own on the quote, and they fall away if the address proves to be outside a mapped zone.

Uneven lots and the permit

Mountain settings vary, and a lot there may or may not be level. If it slopes, the downhill wall may stand on taller cripple walls or stepped footings, which take more plywood, closer nailing and stronger hold-downs, and the quote shows that in the counts. The City of Los Angeles takes in Sunland-Tujunga, and LADBS reviews the plans and inspects each stage. Lake View Terrace, Sun Valley, North Hollywood and Pacoima use the same department. Burbank runs its own review, and for a La Canada Flintridge address we confirm the reviewing office before drawing.
