Learn MoreReading the Top of a Glendora Chimney
Some Village homes go back to the citrus years, 1900s through the 1920s, and their brick is a different animal from the sixties tracts below. Half of everything here was up by 1964, so few stacks are young. Up against CAL FIRE's Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, the foothill edge gets ember-carrying winds with real force. The Sierra Madre Fault sits right along the same slope, so top courses face shaking as well as gusts.
The Crown
Crowns on the upper streets take the most sun and wind, so we shape them thick with a generous lip past the brick.
Joints and Flashing
Citrus-era brick around the Village gets a soft lime-based repointing, tooled to the joint shape already on that wall.
Above the Roofline
Sloped roofs mean a taller exposed stack on the downhill side, where loose brick up top must be relaid before it sheds.
Booked Alongside
Glendora roof visits often share a day with La Verne, Claremont, Covina.

A cracked crown, a stain beside the stack, brick that looks out of line. That is enough for us to plan the roof visit, and we explain the build before we quote.
