Learn MoreWhat we tell La Verne owners
Old Town's early bungalows go back to Lordsburg days, while the north of the city holds hillside custom homes. Two neighbors a mile apart can face different issues, so your own chimney's age and location decide what we discuss. Grand Prix came in from the east in 2003, so foothill homes have good reason to care about embers. A fault zone also follows the mountains just above the city, and strong Santa Anas keep testing every cap.
What We Look at First
Ember protection on foothill homes, old bungalow brick near Old Town, and every cap for wind damage.
What Cannot Wait
Ember screens that have failed on the north side, an old bungalow stack with open joints, a cap about to go.
What Can Wait
Worn exterior paint, sun-dried caulk on metal flashing, chipped brick on a low hearth.
Next Door
We also go to Upland, Claremont, Azusa.
