Common Questions
How does Misong Construction handle common Los Angeles roof leaks and loose ridge tiles?
We see these issues frequently due to our local climate and older housing stock. For leaks, we don't just patch; we perform a thorough inspection to find the source, which often involves repairing dry rot, replacing damaged shingles or tiles, and ensuring proper flashing. For loose or moving ridge tiles, a common problem after wind or seismic activity, we secure them with proper mortar or specialized fasteners and check the entire roof structure for underlying issues. Our goal is a repair that addresses the root cause for lasting protection.
Can you manage both the design and construction of a home addition or ADU in LA?
Yes, absolutely. As a design-build firm, we provide in-house architectural design services, handle the complex permit process with LA city or county, and then execute the construction. This integrated approach, with our team managing the project from concept to completion, streamlines communication, helps avoid delays, and often controls costs. We're experienced with ADU regulations and the specific requirements for adding square footage to homes across Los Angeles neighborhoods.
What does your seismic retrofitting service involve for an older Los Angeles home?
Our retrofitting service is crucial for pre-1980 homes. It typically involves bolting the wooden sill plate of your house to its concrete foundation and adding plywood bracing to the "cripple walls" in the crawl space. We also assess the foundation itself for reinforcement needs. We handle the required engineering plans and city permits, ensuring the work is done to code. This strengthening helps protect your home and family during an earthquake, a vital consideration for LA homeowners.
