Learn MoreWhat we look after in Burbank
Burbank has about 1 home in 3 from before 1950, and the Magnolia Park flats mix small bungalows with postwar ranches. Beside a horse property or inside a modest bungalow, brick is brick, so we check each chimney up close and say what it shows. Valley heat hits hard in summer and winter nights run cool and clear, which ages crowns quickly. The 1971 San Fernando quake did damage across this side of the hills, and the Verdugo slopes are a mapped very high fire hazard zone.
The Houses
Around Burbank the stock runs to Magnolia Park bungalows and ranch homes on the flats, Rancho district horse properties, postwar brick chimneys.
Before the First Fire
On a chimney older than 1971, ask for a camera up the flue, since quake damage inside rarely shows on the living room side.
Care of the Room
Original bungalow floors and built-ins get covered first, in the flats and in Rancho homes alike, and the vacuum runs with the brushes.
Close By
Burbank stops sometimes fall alongside Glendale.
