Learn MoreReading the Top of a Garden Grove Chimney
Alonzo Cook started the town in 1874, yet the homes you will meet today are largely tract houses from the mid-sixties. Site-built brick is likely in those, while later homes got factory-built units. Either way, age now shows at the top. Salt stays moderate this far from the sand, and some mornings start out gray. Dry fall gusts are harder on poorly fixed caps, and the Newport-Inglewood Fault lies not far to the southwest.
The Crown
Tract builders of the sixties used simple sloped mortar on top, and once that opens up we replace it with cast concrete.
Joints and Flashing
Sound brick needs only limited repointing near the top, and we keep the job that size if the lower joints are tight.
Above the Roofline
Gusts expose weak caps quickly, so we set the replacement on a tested top course, fixed with hardware meant for outdoors.
Booked Alongside
Garden Grove roof visits often share a day with Westminster, Stanton, Cypress.
