Learn MoreReading the Top of a Pomona Chimney
Lincoln Park and Wilton Heights are the streets to watch for older brick, and just under 1 in 5 homes predates 1950. Those stacks can be fine craftsmanship with tired joints. About 40 miles from Van Nuys, they are worth the trip. Hot sun, wind and winter rain each take something from crowns and metal caps here. Shaking from Chino Hills in 2008 came up from just south of the city, so top courses deserve a close look.
The Crown
Rain and heat break down a thin old crown slowly, and we form a new one that respects the historic look of the house.
Joints and Flashing
Hard cement never belongs on brick this old, and any past patch of it comes out before we repoint in a softer blend.
Above the Roofline
Strong shaking from 2008 can leave top courses loose, so we hand-test them and relay whatever moves.
Booked Alongside
Pomona roof visits often share a day with Ontario, Montclair, Chino Hills.
