Learn MoreWhat we tell Newport Beach owners
Newport Heights and Corona del Mar put old cottages right beside new custom homes. Older customs may have masonry, while newer houses use gas or factory units. One answer does not fit the street, so we speak to your house alone. Salt eats steel caps and fasteners here, and damp air leaves masonry wet longer than it would be inland. The 1933 epicenter lay just offshore. Hills bordering Crystal Cove bring brush close on Newport Coast, too.
What We Look at First
Salt damage on steel, then wet masonry, then the gas setup in newer homes.
What Cannot Wait
A cap held by rusted fasteners, cottage masonry gone soft and loose, a chase cover with holes.
What Can Wait
Brown tint on a steel shroud, sea-air dulling on a harbor home's trim, a dated gas log.

We also go to Balboa Peninsula, Laguna Beach, Lido Isle.
