Learn MoreWhat we look after in Covina
Covina began as an 1880s citrus town, yet only about 1 home in 20 is older than 1950. Most chimneys here are 1960s-era, with a few early bungalow survivors downtown. Each gets a straightforward look and its own short written answer. Winter nights cool down without many hard freezes, and Santa Ana gusts are what usually bother a cap. Older chimneys across the valley took harm from Whittier Narrows in 1987, so a 1960s stack that has never been scoped is due.
The Houses
Around Covina the stock runs to early bungalows near downtown, 1960s tract homes, condos and apartments.
Before the First Fire
If nobody has looked since 1987, a camera up the flue is worth doing, and a loose cap should be refastened before storms.
Care of the Room
Family rooms from this era often have wide hearths, so we protect them and clean up as we go.

Covina stops sometimes fall alongside West Covina, Azusa, Glendora.
