Learn MoreReading the Top of a Bradbury Chimney
About 350 housing units sit in this tiny city, mostly large custom homes on big lots, and many have stacks taller and more varied than any tract. Each one gets assessed by itself, since no two estates were built alike. The Sierra Madre Fault passes just above this little city along the base of the range, and Bobcat in 2020 put residents on evacuation warning. Hot sun and wide daily swings add steady stress on mortar and exposed metal.
The Crown
Custom stacks may carry stone or precast caps, and we reset or replace those to shed water without altering the look.
Joints and Flashing
Long faces on a tall estate chimney weather unevenly, so we repoint by the section that needs it rather than the whole stack.
Above the Roofline
Being this close to a mapped fault, upper masonry gets checked course by course and rebuilt only where it has actually moved.
Booked Alongside
Bradbury roof visits often share a day with Sierra Madre, Irwindale, Baldwin Park.
Before Any Repair

A cracked crown, a stain beside the stack, brick that looks out of line. That is enough for us to plan the roof visit, and we explain the build before we quote.
