What Valley Glen Walls
Usually Need
The houses we re-side in Valley Glen are mostly 1940s–50s ranch homes, typically 1,200–1,700 sq ft on 6,000–7,500 sq ft lots. Around the blocks around Burbank Boulevard and Woodman Avenue, the streets near Los Angeles Valley College and the Tujunga Wash greenway the walls tell the same story we see across the San Fernando Valley: original stucco or wood from the first build, patched over the decades, with the weather barrier behind it long past its life.
On a 1950s ranch with original lap or board siding, fiber cement lap keeps the profile, takes paint and never feeds termites; it is what we install most.
Either way the sequence does not change: tear-off to the sheathing, dry-rot and framing repair priced in writing, a new weather-resistive barrier with flashing at every window, deck ledger and corner, then the siding or lath. Valley Glen is 0–5 minutes from our Valley Glen office, so the same crew that measures the house builds it.
One Fixed Price,
Written Before We Start
Right Image Builders prices a siding replacement in Valley Glen the same way every time: a free on-site visit, a measured scope, the LADBS requirements checked for your address, and an itemized fixed price in writing within a few business days.
Hidden conditions are priced in writing when they are found, not on the final invoice; the number you sign is the number you pay, and the final payment follows your walkthrough.
For planning ranges before the visit, see the siding cost guide.
Permits and the Fire Code
in Valley Glen
Siding in Valley Glen is permitted through LADBS at the Van Nuys Development Services Center, 6262 Van Nuys Blvd, about a mile from our office. For a re-side over solid sheathing or a re-stucco, LADBS issues an express permit under Information Bulletin P/GI 2020-003, so the paperwork is a counter visit, not a plan check; a stucco-to-siding conversion or any wall that needs framing repair is still a simple alteration permit. We pull it, schedule the inspection and close it before the final payment.
Most Valley Glen addresses sit outside the mapped Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, so the standard building code applies to a re-side; we still confirm your parcel on the CAL FIRE map, and homeowners who want a noncombustible exterior anyway choose fiber cement or three-coat stucco, which cost the same here as anywhere else in Los Angeles.
Sources: 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code (Title 24, Part 7), effective January 1, 2026, which replaced Chapter 7A; applies to alterations and repairs in Fire Hazard Severity Zones; coatings are not an approved method of protection (read); CAL FIRE Office of the State Fire Marshal: Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps and the Wildland-Urban Interface building materials listing (maps); LADBS Information Bulletin P/GI 2020-003 (bulletin).

(818) 210-4544Questions Valley Glen Homeowners
Ask About Siding
Both, with the same crew: siding in fiber cement, wood, engineered wood, metal or vinyl, and stucco repair, re-coat or full three-coat re-stucco, including conversions in either direction. Around the blocks around Burbank Boulevard and Woodman Avenue we often find stucco on the first floor and wood above; the joint between them is the detail most repairs come down to.
Right Image Builders pulls it, from LADBS, City of Los Angeles, at the Van Nuys counter a mile from our office. Like-for-like siding or stucco is the simplest kind of permit, a conversion or structural repair takes an alteration permit and a mid-job inspection, and we hand you the closed permit with the warranty at the end.
Plan on 2–4 weeks for a single-story house in Valley Glen. Tear-off and dry-rot repair come first, the weather barrier and flashing next, then the siding or the three stucco coats with their curing days. Add scaffolding on a two-story or hillside house and the schedule stretches to 4–6 weeks; you stay in the house throughout.
Verify the CSLB license number at cslb.ca.gov (Right Image Builders is #1021284), ask for the insurance certificate, get the workmanship warranty in writing with its length (ours is ten years), and read the scope for the words weather-resistive barrier and flashing. A Valley Glen bid that only prices the boards is missing the part that keeps water out.
Three things: the scope you choose, the condition of the house once we open it up, and the finish level. Each is settled in writing, first in the fixed price after the free on-site visit, then in a written change order if a Valley Glen house hides something, so the number never moves without your signature; LADBS requirements are built in.
