Learn MoreWhat we tell Paramount owners
Hynes and Clearwater merged into this city, then it filled up in the mid century, and today most households rent. If a fireplace came with your place, we can say whether it is safe to use and who should act. Mild winters mean frost seldom touches a crown here, but sun, wet months and plain age do their work anyway. A fault line sits a few miles southwest, and old mortar does not like shaking of any size.
What We Look at First
Age wear on the crown and mortar, then flue draw, then who is responsible for it.
What Cannot Wait
Age-split mortar near the stack top, a flue that spills smoke, crown cement falling onto a walkway.
What Can Wait
A rust-spotted screen, dull brick, a hearth with shallow chips along one side.

We also go to Long Beach, Downey, Rancho Dominguez.
