Learn MoreReading the Top of a Fullerton Chimney
Two chimneys, a century apart, can both be Fullerton: a 1920s brick stack on a Spanish Colonial Revival house, or a gas unit on the old Hughes land at Amerige Heights. Only about 1 home in 11 is prewar, so old brick here is worth saving. Brush in the Coyote Hills is about as close as fire gets inside city limits. Fall and winter gusts can strip caps, and shaking from Whittier Narrows carried this far in 1987, so older stacks are worth checking.
The Crown
A 1920s stack often has only a skim on top, and a real crown protects its brick without changing its old profile.
Joints and Flashing
Spanish Colonial and Craftsman faces get mortar tinted and tooled to match, so a repair does not read as a patch.
Above the Roofline
With the Whittier fault up in the hills to the north, we check older tops for loose rows and relay what moved.
Booked Alongside
Fullerton roof visits often share a day with Buena Park, Amerige Heights, La Mirada.
