Fireplace Inspection in Montrose, CA

What we triage on a fireplace inspection call in Montrose

Homes in Montrose went up largely from the 1920s through the 1960s, with a mix of masonry chimneys and prefabricated fireplaces. Our restoration work centers on the brick ones. We repoint joints that have washed out, repair the crown and replace rusted caps. On a prefab unit we check the chase top and the flue, then tell you whether parts can still be found.

Montrose lies under the mountains in foothill fire country, and fall Santa Ana winds can carry embers onto roofs. A code-compliant spark arrestor cap is part of every visit. We check the crown too, since a cracked one lets rain into the brick each winter.
