Learn MoreWhat we tell Monrovia owners
North or south matters here. Post-war tracts and apartments fill much of the southern half, while over a quarter of houses are older than 1950. Owners and renters split fairly evenly, so we write plainly for whoever made the call. Bobcat in 2020 brought evacuation warnings to this foothill city. Faults pass through or close by, the Sierra Madre among them, and the foothills get wetter than the flats below, so crowns and screens both deserve attention.
What We Look at First
Ember screens near the canyons, cracked joints from fault shaking, and crowns under heavier rain.
What Cannot Wait
An open screen after Bobcat warned this town, a stack shifted at the roof, a crown soaked and split.
What Can Wait
Worn cap paint, shallow crown crazing with no water getting in, a chipped period hearth.

We also go to Irwindale, Baldwin Park, Bradbury.
