Learn MoreReading the Top of a Stanton Chimney
Roughly one unit in four here is detached, and small stucco tract houses make up most of those. Mobile home parks and condos fill much of the rest. So real chimneys are few, and they mostly date to the fifties through the seventies. Summers are warm and dry, mornings often gray, and salt moderate this far from the sand. The Newport-Inglewood Fault lies not far southwest of town, and a small old stack may never have been checked since it went up.
The Crown
Modest tract stacks have modest crowns, and if yours has crumbled we can recast it with a proper overhang.
Joints and Flashing
We repoint only what has opened up, since these small stacks seldom need more than the top few rows redone.
Above the Roofline
A loose top row or rusted cap on a small house is still worth fixing before it comes down on the roof.
Booked Alongside
Stanton roof visits often share a day with La Palma, Midway City, Cypress.
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.
