Learn MoreReading the Top of an Orange Chimney
Old Towne, listed on the National Register in 1997, sits around its 1888 Plaza, and houses near there may carry the oldest brick in town. Postwar ranches have firmer stacks, and the east side tends toward factory-built or gas. Hot sun and dry heat wear at crowns and mortar until gaps form, and exposed steel then rusts from the wet. Fall and winter winds can strip a weak cap, and two named faults, Whittier and Newport-Inglewood, are within reach.
The Crown
Old Towne stacks may lack a true crown altogether, and the one we add stays low enough to leave the historic look intact.
Joints and Flashing
National Register homes deserve repointing that matches the old mortar in color and shape, never a hard gray cement.
Above the Roofline
Ranch stacks want top rows tested, and later east side homes want sloped covers on their chases.
