Learn MoreWhat we look after in Brentwood
Brentwood is on our calendar by appointment. Large houses here often have a second fireplace in a den or a bedroom that is rarely used, and that is the one we check most carefully, because it is the one nobody has looked at. The Skirball Fire in December 2017 and the Getty Fire in October 2019 both burned on the hills at the edge of Brentwood. A canyon lot here needs a sound spark screen and cap before the fall winds, every season.
The Houses
Around Brentwood the stock runs to traditional and Spanish Colonial houses in Brentwood Park, canyon homes in Mandeville Canyon, and modern houses on the hillsides.
Before the First Fire
Canyon lots near the Skirball and Getty fire areas need the spark screen and cap in good order before the fall winds. Inside, a rarely used fireplace gets a damper and flue check before it is lit.
Care of the Room
Wood floors and stone hearths get padded covers, and we agree the path through the house before we bring anything in.
