Why do these garages need a closer look?
Because the community sits where the Valley meets the Simi Hills, and both halves show up in the garages we work on. In the 91311 ZIP area the 1970s were the biggest building decade at 31.1%, and 13.0% of homes are attached, so we see original openings, second-generation springs and openers older than California's 2019 battery-backup rule. On the hill side, CAL FIRE perimeters from the 1970 Clampitt fire to the 2005 Topanga fire cover about 39% of the community, and NASA places the old Santa Susana Field Laboratory just to the west. So the seals get checked against the 1/8 inch gap rule wherever the hazard map applies.
Original openings measured
No size assumed on a 1970s opening.
Townhome doors too
Attached homes get the same balance and reversal tests.
Hillside seals
Checked edge to edge where the hazard map applies.
Written price
Agreed before anything is touched.
