A City Built All at Once, Aging All at Once
Lakewood was built at extraordinary speed. Empty fields became 17,500 houses in less than three years, and that pace left the city with an unusually uniform housing stock. For exterior work that has a practical consequence: when one neighbor's deck or patio cover starts failing, the identical one three doors down is usually not far behind.
They were built the same way at the same time and have weathered the same decades. The diagnosis tends to repeat: the same detail at the same junction, opened by the same number of summers, letting water into framing of the same age.
The city is bordered by Long Beach on the west, northwest and south, with Bellflower north, Cerritos northeast, Cypress east and Hawaiian Gardens southeast. Flat ground throughout, so a deck or patio slab with no fall has nowhere to send water except into whatever it sits on.
Patio covers are a Lakewood staple and a common source of trouble. Where a cover ties into the house, the flashing is doing all the work, and once that connection opens the water runs behind the fascia rather than off the front of it.
We rebuild rather than resurface where the structure has gone, and we fabricate the metal: posts, beams, guardrails and stair sections, so a repair matches the house instead of standing out from the street.

Permit Experts detailsPulling a Permit in Lakewood
Lakewood does not run building and safety in house. Plan check, permitting and inspection support are provided for the city by TRB+ Associates. Lakewood was in fact the first city in the nation to contract for all of its municipal services when it incorporated in 1954, so this is the city's founding model rather than a recent change. We prepare and submit accordingly.

Waterproofing in Lakewood: Your Questions
Who issues my permit in Lakewood?
Building and safety services are provided for the city by TRB+ Associates, covering plan check, permitting and inspection support. Lakewood was the first city in the nation to contract for all of its municipal services when it incorporated in 1954, so this is normal here.
My neighbor just had the same repair done. Is that a coincidence?
Not really. Empty fields became 17,500 houses in less than three years, so a whole street can share one design, one build date and one set of weathered details. Identical failures on identical houses are the pattern here.
Is a patio cover worth repairing or replacing?
It depends where the rot is. If the connection to the house has been leaking for years, the beam ends and the wall behind them usually need work, and at that point a proper rebuild costs less than repairing the same cover twice.
