Learn MoreWhat we look after in Fillmore
Fillmore's downtown streets keep early 1900s bungalows, and citrus and foothills surround the town. Northridge hit downtown badly, so any chimney left from before 1994 has a story. About 43 miles from Silver Lake, we plan ahead and read it carefully. Northridge did heavy harm to downtown Fillmore in 1994, so older masonry here needs real attention. Big temperature swings work on mortar harder than coastal weather does, and dry Santa Ana gusts can pull at a cap or bring embers from the hills.
The Houses
Around Fillmore the stock runs to modest older homes and early 1900s bungalows downtown, and later detached houses, few condos.
Before the First Fire
Downtown homes that were patched after 1994 deserve a camera, because those repairs are now thirty years old.
Care of the Room
Older bungalow rooms stay under careful covers, with woodwork padded and furniture left where it stands when possible.

Fillmore stops sometimes fall alongside Moorpark, Santa Paula, Bardsdale.
