Learn MoreHow we work a chimney in Whittier
Whittier is old by local standards: nearly all of it predates 1980, and homes from before 1950 make up close to a third, so plenty of brick came before modern seismic rules. Tract ranches fill East Whittier and the plains, and hill homes bring harder ladder setups. The Whittier Fault runs along the hills above town, so we look hard at any crack in masonry. Up in those hills the heat is drier and the wind stronger, and the brushy north edge makes a sound cap more useful.
What We Check on the Roof
Fault cracks in old brick, wind-worn caps uphill, and dry crowns near the Puente Hills.
What the Same Crew Fixes
Older brick and East Whittier tract crowns go to the crew who took the photos.
Brush Work Here
Older flues and postwar ranch flues brushed by hand, with smoke shelf cleared at the end.

We also climb roofs in Santa Fe Springs, Hacienda Heights, La Habra.
