Learn MoreReading the Top of a Laguna Niguel Chimney
Master-planned since 1960, most of this city is newer, with half the homes built after 1986. Fireplaces mostly run metal or gas. Custom hillside houses are the exception, and those may hold real masonry that needs a closer look. Air off the ocean holds summer heat down compared with places further inland, and winds can strip caps in fall and winter. Local ground concerns come from hillside grading and landslides, more so than the fault zone offshore.
The Crown
Custom masonry stacks get a sloped cast crown, while chases need a cover that drains right to the edge.
Joints and Flashing
Cracks that follow a pattern on a graded lot may reflect ground movement, so we note them with care before repointing.
Above the Roofline
Wind on a hillside lot finds weak fixings fast, and we replace or refasten caps and covers to resist it.
