Learn MoreHow we work a chimney in Ventura
Downtown and Midtown keep houses in Victorian, Craftsman and Spanish Revival styles, and the Mitchell Block preserves a group from the late 1800s. Old brick on those deserves slow work, while condos elsewhere in Ventura bring metal flues and different problems. The fault named for this city runs along the base of the hills beneath it, so old masonry needs real attention. Salt air and fog attack steel, Santa Anas pull at weak caps, and fire came through east of town in 2024.
What We Check on the Roof
Salt-pitted caps, cracked old brick along the fault, and gust-loosened fasteners.
What the Same Crew Fixes
Old brick repaired and salt-worn caps replaced, all by the crew whose photos you saw.
Brush Work Here
Midtown and Downtown flues brushed by hand, slow going on Victorian-era mortar.

We also climb roofs in Ojai, Montalvo, Carpinteria.
