Learn MoreWhat we tell Monterey Park owners
Plenty of houses climbed these hills after the war, and a stack on a slope is harder to judge from the driveway. Do not guess from below. Our camera and a close look settle what is going on at the top. Close to the 1987 epicenter, this city took real shaking, so any brick that lived through it should be checked. Sun and winter rain do the slower part, wearing at crowns and metal caps year after year.
What We Look at First
The part you cannot see from below: stack top, crown and cap on the sloped side.
What Cannot Wait
A crack left by 1987 that now lets rain in, a cap hanging by one screw, a dropped flue tile.
What Can Wait
Weathered metal that still sheds water, a tired hearth, sun chalking on a painted stack.

We also go to San Gabriel, Montebello, City Terrace.
