Learn MoreWhat we tell Agoura Hills owners
Is yours brick or factory-built? A good share of houses here went up after 1970, when metal fireplaces inside framed chases became common. The answer changes what needs fixing, so we settle it before anything else. Woolsey came into this area in 2018, which makes spark control a fair worry. Summer heat against frosty winter nights also tires a crown, and we say plainly which of the two matters on your roof.
What We Look at First
The metal flue sections and chase top, then the arrestor mesh above a tile or composition roof.
What Cannot Wait
Arrestor mesh with holes this close to burned hillsides, a split metal flue section, or a chase top letting rain inside.
What Can Wait
Faded stucco on a chase, a scuffed cap with no holes, a little sun wear on exposed trim.
