Learn MoreReading the Top of a Villa Park Chimney
Nine in ten homes are owner-occupied here, and larger custom houses often have masonry built on site, in some cases two or more stacks. Half date before 1974. That makes Villa Park a rare Orange County city where real brick is the rule and worth careful repair. Near the Santa Ana foothills, summers run warm and marine air stays limited, so sun is the main force on crowns. Chino Hills and La Habra were both felt here, and rain follows any cracks they left.
The Crown
Custom crowns may be wider than tract ones, and when sun has split them we cast a new top to the same shape.
Joints and Flashing
A bigger house can have several brick types, so mortar is matched chimney by chimney rather than mixed once for all.
Above the Roofline
Rows above the roof get a hand check after 2008 and 2014, and we relay only what has clearly moved.
Booked Alongside
Villa Park roof visits often share a day with Orange, El Modena, North Tustin.

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.
