Why chimney rebuilds matters for Montrose chimneys
Below the San Gabriel Mountains, Montrose sits in a foothill fire zone where Santa Ana winds can drive embers through the area each fall, so a code-compliant spark arrestor cap is worth checking every year rather than waiting for it to fail. A typical visit here includes partial rebuild (above roofline), full chimney reconstruction, and earthquake damage repair and retrofit, because the scope should follow the chimney's condition, not a fixed estimate.
