Learn MoreWhat we look after in Culver City
Plenty of Culver City homes have been added onto over the decades, and the old brick chimney is sometimes the one part nobody looked at during the remodel. We check how it meets the newer framing, look up the flue, and write down what we find in ordinary words. Ocean air keeps winters mild here, so many fireplaces sit unused for long stretches and get lit again after a move. Salt in that air also works on steel caps and dampers, so we look for rust before the first fire.
The Houses
Around Culver City the stock runs to 1920s and 1940s bungalows, postwar ranch houses, and remodeled homes with newer additions.
Before the First Fire
A fireplace that has not been lit since the remodel needs a sweep, a look at the damper and cap for rust from the ocean air, and a check that the chimney is still sound where the addition was built against it.
Care of the Room
In a remodeled house the finishes are often new. We cover floors, hearth and any fresh paint near the firebox, and the vacuum runs the whole time.
Close By
Culver City stops sometimes fall alongside Carlson Park, Blair Hills, Sunkist Park.
