Learn MoreReading the Top of a Dana Point Chimney
Most housing here dates from the seventies on, so factory-built or gas units are likely, with masonry mainly on older custom homes. Bluff-top lots catch more wind and spray than inland streets, and the land itself has been known to slide. Santa Ana gusts sometimes reach all the way to these bluffs, and salt comes with the sea air on other days. The Coastal Fire burned next door in Laguna Niguel in 2022, so embers matter even this close to the water.
The Crown
Custom masonry stacks need a crown ready for blowing rain, with extra overhang on the side facing the water.
Joints and Flashing
Bluff movement can show up as cracks in old joints, so we note and photograph those before repointing.
Above the Roofline
Chase covers near the Headlands should be metal fit for salt, sloped and secured for gusts off the bluff.
Booked Alongside
Dana Point roof visits often share a day with Capistrano Beach, San Clemente, Laguna Beach.
