Learn MoreReading the Top of a Canoga Park Chimney
Just 9 miles west of our Van Nuys base, Canoga Park was Owensmouth until 1931, so a few stacks here go back well before the ranch boom. Postwar brick or block with gas logs makes up most of the rest. Summer heat here is about as strong as Los Angeles gets, and clear winter nights turn cool. Northridge in 1994 was centered a few miles east, so Valley chimneys often need checking above the roofline for old cracks.
The Crown
Long hot summers bake a thin crown until it splits, and a thick cast one with an overhang handles that better.
Joints and Flashing
Horizontal cracks through joints near the roof often trace back to shaking, and those need more than a surface fill.
Above the Roofline
Where Northridge loosened the top, we take the courses down to firm brick and lay them back straight, then reflash the roof joint.
Booked Alongside
Canoga Park roof visits often share a day with Woodland Hills.
