Learn MoreWhat we tell Placentia owners
The name means pleasant place, and Old Town keeps some citrus-era homes. The rest mostly came in the 1970s and after. If you live near the 1902 Bradford House, you may have a very different chimney than someone a mile east. Strong shaking from Chino Hills reached this city in 2008, so a good look at the joints is sensible. Winters stay mild and rarely freeze, while warm summers and modest marine air take their time on mortar.
What We Look at First
Early brick near Old Town, then 2008 cracks, then the crown on later tracts.
What Cannot Wait
A shaken stack in Old Town, a joint opened by the 2008 quake, a damper that has seized shut.
What Can Wait
Faded brick near a citrus-era mantel, mild staining, a chipped later-tract hearth.
