Remodeling in Ojai
Building in the Ojai Valley.
The entire Ojai Valley was evacuated during the 2017 Thomas Fire, and rebuilding shaped much of the valley's recent construction.
For example, one Ojai rebuild grew a family home from 1,600 to 2,400 square feet with a three-car garage. The original slab was kept and new sections tied in, the garage pad was over-excavated and compaction-tested, the electrical service was relocated closer to the utility pole and the gas and water lines were upsized for the larger house and a new fire sprinkler system. The owners handled some finish trades themselves, coordinated into the schedule.
Ojai cares about how things look. The city requires design review for many projects, and much of the valley is now mapped in a Very High fire hazard zone, which affects materials and construction on new homes. A good contractor plans for both from the first meeting.
