Rebuilding in Covina, Los Angeles County
Fire rebuild in Covina
Covina fire rebuild with the roof planned first: a Class A covering, sun ready underlayment, mesh vents, metal flashing and guarded gutters.
The roof takes the most punishment on a rebuilt Covina house. Under general inland conditions it meets long hours of hard sun, dry wind that carries embers and grit, and now and then a heavy storm that tests every seam. So the roof assembly is drawn early, with its covering, underlayment, edges and flashing chosen together before the framing plan is final.
The covering and what sits under it
A Class A rated covering is the starting point. Concrete or clay tile, or a light colored asphalt shingle with a cool roof rating, reflects heat and holds up under sun. Beneath it, a high temperature underlayment protects the deck, and an extra layer at the eaves and valleys guards against water pushed in by wind. Ridge and eave vents carry fine metal mesh so embers cannot slip into the attic. Open eaves can be boxed in with solid soffits, closing the gaps where heat and sparks collect.
Edges, flashing and runoff
Metal drip edge runs around the perimeter, and step flashing is woven into each course where the roof meets a wall. Valleys get metal liners. Each gutter is sized for the stretch of roof draining into it and fitted with metal guards that stop leaves from piling up and catching embers. Downspouts empty into drain lines or onto splash blocks that send water away from the foundation. The building department serving Covina inspects the sheathing nails before the covering goes on. Rebuilds in West Covina, San Dimas and Glendora get the same roof plan.
