Learn MoreReading the Top of a Palos Verdes Estates Chimney
Owners occupy almost every home, and early houses in Spanish and Mediterranean style wear stucco chimneys that blend with red tile. Getting that look right after a repair takes care, and old tile around the flashing needs gentle handling. Fog and sea breezes hold moisture on this peninsula, and wind tests whatever has come loose. Salt corrodes caps and hardware near Bluff Cove and Malaga Cove, and a mapped fault runs below these slopes as well.
The Crown
Plastered tops and tile-capped stacks can be wetter than they look, so we rebuild beneath the finish to keep the design intact.
Joints and Flashing
Old red tile breaks easily, so flashing work starts by lifting tiles with care and setting them back once the seam is sealed.
Above the Roofline
Bluff wind keeps working at loose hardware, and corroded caps come off in favor of metal better suited to the fog.
