L.A. Historic Door Restoration or Replacement F.A.Q's

  • WHAT ARE HPOZ REGULATIONS AND HOW DO THEY AFFECT DOOR REPLACEMENT?

    Homes in Los Angeles Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (HPOZ) must follow strict design guidelines to maintain architectural integrity. This means replacement doors must match the original style, material, and dimensions. At Tashman Home Center, we provide custom wood doors and detailed documentation to ensure your project is approved by city planning and neighborhood boards.

  • CAN HISTORIC DOORS BE MADE MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT?

    Yes. By incorporating modern weatherstripping, upgraded glass options, and precision installation, historic doors can maintain their original appearance while improving comfort, efficiency, and security.

  • DO I NEED A PERMIT TO REPLACE HISTORIC DOORS?

    In most cases, yes. HPOZ areas require permits to ensure any replacement meets historic preservation standards. Our team assists with all permitting and approval steps to make the process as smooth as possible.

  • IS IT BETTER TO RESTORE OR REPLACE HISTORIC DOORS?

    That depends on the condition of your doors. Restoration is often possible when the original structure is sound, while replacement may be the best option if there is extensive damage or if energy upgrades are required. We guide you through both options to protect your home’s character.
