Learn MoreReading the Top of a Thousand Oaks Chimney
Tracts here straddle the shift from brick to metal: half the homes date before 1978, and either a reinforced stack or a framed chase may sit on your roof. Northridge damaged chimneys in the Conejo Valley, so a check for old harm is sensible. Cold winter nights give mortar and crowns a mild workout, and Santa Anas pull at loose caps. The Hill Fire burned the Hill Canyon area in 2018, so the north edge of town has fire to think about too.
The Crown
Slight cycling on cold nights slowly works a crown apart, so we recast with a sloped top that sheds the winter rain.
Joints and Flashing
Quake-opened joints on a postwar stack should be repaired as cracks, cut out and refilled instead of skimmed over.
Above the Roofline
Rusted chase covers are replaced with sloped metal sized to the box, and caps get secure fixings for Santa Ana days.
Booked Alongside
Thousand Oaks roof visits often share a day with Simi Valley, Agoura Hills.
