Fire rebuild in Temple City
Temple City fire rebuild that puts the roof and attic first on an inland lot: insulation, ventilation, radiant control and drainage designed together.
Of everything in a Temple City rebuild, the roof and the attic beneath it are what we plan with the most care. An inland house takes in much of its heat from above, and a dry wind can drive dust and debris against every opening under the eaves. Designing the roof covering, attic ventilation, insulation and gutters as one assembly makes the finished house easier to cool and easier to keep up.
Keeping heat out of the attic
A light colored or cool rated roof covering reflects part of the sun before it reaches the deck. Beneath it, a radiant barrier on the underside of the sheathing cuts heat passing into the attic. Ventilation pairs low intake at the eaves with high exhaust near the ridge, so warm air leaves on its own. Ceiling insulation is sized to the state energy code, and any ducts that run through the attic are sealed and wrapped. Where the design brings the ducts inside the conditioned space, the attic can be sealed instead, and the energy forms show that choice.
Roof water and review
Rain on an inland roof may be rare, though it can arrive hard, so gutters are sized to the roof area and downspouts discharge to drains or splash blocks set clear of the slab. Valleys and wall junctions get metal flashing over the underlayment, and kickout flashing turns water away where a roof edge meets a wall. The city's building reviewers check the roof framing, the energy forms and the drainage at plan review. Lots in Arcadia, San Gabriel and El Monte are planned with the same attic and roof sequence.
