Learn MoreReading the Top of a Cypress Chimney
Dairy City became Cypress in 1957, and tract building came right after. These stucco houses may have a masonry stack or an early factory unit, since half of them date from before 1971. A few minutes on the roof answers that question. Mornings are often gray this close to the ocean, and summers milder than further inland. Salt exposure stays moderate compared with the sand. La Habra in 2014 was felt in town, moderately, as a reminder for older stacks.
The Crown
Where there is brick, a sixties crown can be cracked through by now, and recasting one is a contained job.
Joints and Flashing
Water tends to enter where stucco meets brick or where flashing has lifted, and those are the seams we repair.
Above the Roofline
Caps and covers rust at a moderate pace here, so we swap them once fasteners go and reset anything loose beneath.
Booked Alongside
Cypress roof visits often share a day with Long Beach, Stanton, Cerritos.
