Learn MoreReading the Top of a Huntington Beach Chimney
Sixties homes here likely have masonry, and by the seventies and eighties most had moved to metal units, so your block's date tells us a lot. A few downtown cottages remain from the early 1900s, and their old brick needs softer treatment. Streets near the sand take the worst of the salt, and those further in get noticeably less. Long Beach in 1933 damaged the town, and La Habra in 2014 was felt, so old masonry deserves a check.
The Crown
Damp air settles on crowns near the ocean for long hours, and a dense cast slab handles it better than old mortar.
Joints and Flashing
Old downtown cottage brick gets a soft mix, while sixties tract joints can take firmer mortar, and we choose accordingly.
Above the Roofline
Metal-flue chases from the seventies on need sloped covers in rust-resistant metal, especially within a short walk of the beach.
