Learn MoreReading the Top of a Pico Rivera Chimney
Over 7 in 10 households own here, in plain one-story ranches that were mostly up by the late fifties. A stack on one of these is usually modest, and that means an honest repair stays modest too. Just north, Whittier Narrows in 1987 did real damage in this area, so an old stack may carry cracks from it. Sun, moisture and age do the rest, slowly wearing at crowns and mortar through the winter rains.
The Crown
Sun and years of winter rain slowly wear a crown down to loose grit, and new cast material brings it back in one visit.
Joints and Flashing
Hairlines from 1987 can run through several courses, and if they are stable we refill them rather than tear down sound brick.
Above the Roofline
Where shaking has truly moved the top rows, we relay those and leave what remains in line.
Booked Alongside
Pico Rivera roof visits often share a day with Los Nietos, Montebello, Bell Gardens.
