Learn MoreWhat we look after in Commerce
Commerce is mainly a business city crossed by the 5 and 710, and its homes are few, in small pockets such as Bandini and Rosewood. A modest bungalow fireplace gets the same full look as any other, and the same honest note. Warm summers and hardly any freezes treat chimneys well here, while winter rain tests aging crowns and joints. Unreinforced masonry across the county took damage in 1933, so a bungalow old enough to remember should have its flue examined.
The Houses
Around Commerce the stock runs to modest postwar houses and old bungalows in Rosewood and Bandini.
Before the First Fire
Three homes in ten here are from before 1950, so assume the flue needs an honest look if nobody remembers it being swept.
Care of the Room
Small front rooms get covers wall to wall, and every piece of furniture we move goes back to where it was.
Close By
Commerce stops sometimes fall alongside Bell Gardens, Pico Rivera, Vernon.
