Learn MoreReading the Top of a Rolling Hills Chimney
A.E. Hanson laid this gated community out in the 1930s, it kept its rural character, and almost all its houses stand alone. Half were up by 1960. A wide ranch chimney here may be custom work with its own details. Up high, ocean air still reaches caps and fasteners, while wind tests what has loosened. Fire is part of local memory: flames from Portuguese Bend crossed the line in 2009 and took some homes.
The Crown
Broad ranch tops let water sit, so we build in a slope that sheds rain toward the edge on all sides.
Joints and Flashing
Custom-era joints may be raked or struck in unusual ways, and we tool the repair to look like the original.
Above the Roofline
After 2009, caps in this brush country deserve attention, so we check the mount and fit one that stays put in wind.
