Learn MoreWhat we look after in Hidden Hills
A.E. Hanson began laying out Hidden Hills around 1950 as a place of ranch houses, and every home here is detached. Many original masonry chimneys have since given way to custom houses. Whichever you have, we open it up, explain the system and put it in writing. Santa Anas are the big fire-weather factor here, and the Kenneth Fire of 2025 prompted evacuations nearby. Summers run far hotter than at the coast, and Northridge was strongly felt in 1994, so screens and any older masonry both need attention.
The Houses
Around Hidden Hills the stock runs to big custom houses and surviving ranch homes on large lots, with white rail fences and horse trails.
Before the First Fire
Check the ember screen ahead of Santa Ana season, and if the house kept its original masonry, send a camera up.
Care of the Room
Big rooms and fine finishes call for long runners and a wide cover, and we keep every tool off the stone.

Hidden Hills stops sometimes fall alongside Canoga Park, Agoura Hills, Calabasas.
