Learn MoreReading the Top of a Huntington Park Chimney
Over 4 in 10 homes are prewar, from the decades when the Pacific Electric line was drawing families out here. If there is a fireplace in one of those houses, a hand-laid brick stack almost certainly sits above it. Frost barely registers this far inland of the ocean, so age, damp and shaking do the wearing instead. Whittier Narrows in 1987 rattled southeast Los Angeles County hard enough to matter to old brick.
The Crown
Most of these 1920s stacks never had more than a slurry on top, so a real cast crown is often their first proper cover.
Joints and Flashing
Hundred-year-old joints should never get straight cement, and we mix softer so the brick faces do not pop off around it.
Above the Roofline
Added units and old roofs change how the stack meets the building, so flashing gets rebuilt to suit that specific junction.
Booked Alongside
Huntington Park roof visits often share a day with South Gate, Commerce, Bell Gardens.
