Learn MoreReading the Top of a Santa Clarita Chimney
Metal fireplaces took hold in tracts around the seventies, and half the homes here came after 1987, so a framed chase is the likely build. Old Newhall is where you still have a shot at real brick, on small older houses. Colder nights than the coast, occasional frost and strong sun all work at exposed parts. Tick in 2019 reached Canyon Country with large evacuations, and the San Gabriel fault crosses this valley.
The Crown
True brick is uncommon here, but where Newhall stacks have it, a cracked crown gets recast thick and with a drip edge.
Joints and Flashing
Stucco chase seams shrink under strong sun and let water behind, so we repair them right at their failure points.
Above the Roofline
Metal caps and covers wear differently than brick, so we check fastenings, rust and slope, then replace what has worn out.
