Learn MoreHow we work a chimney in Avalon
Half of Avalon was standing before 1950, packed onto narrow lots after the 1887 town plan and through the Wrigley years. A tight canyon lot makes the ladder set the first question, and an old cottage stack gets a slow look before anything moves. Frost and summer heat are rare on the island, so salt and wet air set the pace, eating metal and soaking masonry. Evacuations came with the Island Fire in 2007, about 4,750 acres burned, which is good reason to keep a cap sound.
What We Check on the Roof
Salt-thinned caps, damp crowns, and old mortar on cottage stacks above Crescent Avenue.
What the Same Crew Fixes
Corroded metal replaced and salty joints repointed by the same people who photographed them.
Brush Work Here
Old cottage flues handled gently with hand rotary heads, soot carried out of tight lots.
