What Homeowners Need to Know About HPOZ

  • WHAT AREAS OF LOS ANGELES DOES TASHMAN HOME CENTER SERVE?

    We proudly serve homeowners in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Hancock Park, Hollywood Hills, Pacific Palisades, Century City, Los Feliz, Encino, Sherman Oaks, and surrounding West LA neighborhoods.

  • HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN BUSINESS?

    We have been serving Los Angeles since 1961. As a fourth-generation family-owned company, our reputation is built on decades of experience, craftsmanship, and trust.

  • WHAT IS AN HPOZ AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT MY HOME?

    A Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) is a designated neighborhood with architectural or cultural significance. Exterior changes, including windows and doors, must follow specific design guidelines and typically require approval.

  • DO I NEED SPECIAL APPROVAL TO REPLACE WINDOWS OR DOORS IN AN HPOZ?

    Yes. Most window and door projects in an HPOZ require review and approval by the local preservation board or planning department.

  • CAN I REPLACE MY WINDOWS, OR DO THEY HAVE TO BE RESTORED?

    It depends on the condition of the existing windows and the requirements of your specific HPOZ. Some homes allow restoration, while others permit historically accurate replacement.

  • ARE VINYL OR OFF-THE-SHELF WINDOWS ALLOWED IN HPOZ HOMES?

    Typically, no. Most HPOZ guidelines restrict vinyl and mass-produced products that do not match original materials or proportions.

  • DO YOU OFFER FREE ESTIMATES?

    Yes. We provide free estimates. Our team will evaluate your project, explain options, and provide a clear written proposal with no obligation.

  • CAN MODERN PERFORMANCE FEATURES BE ADDED TO HISTORIC WINDOWS OR DOORS?

    Yes. Sound reduction, laminated glass, and energy-efficient glazing can often be incorporated if the historic appearance is preserved.

  • DO YOU HELP WITH DRAWINGS, DOCUMENTATION, AND APPROVALS?

    Yes. We provide measurements, specifications, and documentation commonly required for HPOZ review and approvals.

  • HOW LONG DOES THE HPOZ APPROVAL PROCESS TAKE?

    Timelines vary by neighborhood and project scope. Proper documentation and early planning help minimize delays.

  • DO YOU WORK DIRECTLY WITH ARCHITECTS OR PRESERVATION CONSULTANTS?

    Yes. We regularly collaborate with architects, designers, and preservation professionals.

  • IS HPOZ WORK MORE EXPENSIVE THAN STANDARD REPLACEMENT?

    Often, yes. HPOZ projects typically involve custom solutions, higher-quality materials, and compliance requirements.

  • ARE YOU LICENSED, BONDED, AND INSURED?

    Yes. Tashman Home Center is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in the state of California, giving homeowners peace of mind that every project meets safety and compliance standards.
