Learn MoreReading the Top of a Santa Ana Chimney
Floral Park is known for period revival homes of the twenties and thirties, and French Park, Wilshire Square and Heninger Park add more old houses. Those are the chimneys we would look at first, since the 1933 quake damaged brick here. Ten miles or so from the sea, summers are warm and the morning layer is modest. Fall and winter bring the dry winds this city lends its name to, which strip caps and throw embers, and old brick took damage in 1933.
The Crown
Period revival stacks often hide a worn wash under decorative tops, and we replace it without touching the details.
Joints and Flashing
Past repairs in hard cement show up as cracked brick faces, so those come out and go back in softer mortar.
Above the Roofline
Unreinforced tops damaged in 1933 may have been rebuilt, and we check how well that work has held up.
Booked Alongside
Santa Ana roof visits often share a day with Orange, Fountain Valley, Westminster.
Before Any Repair

A cracked crown, a stain beside the stack, brick that looks out of line. That is enough for us to plan the roof visit, and we explain the build before we quote.
