Learn MoreWhat we look after in La Mirada
Barely 3 in 100 La Mirada homes predate 1950, so this is 1960-era ranch country. Chimneys from that stretch are old enough to need attention without being antiques. A straightforward clean and a look up the flue usually tells you how long yours can keep going. Warm, dry summers and uncommon frost go easy on masonry, and the wet months end by spring. In the hills to the north sits the Whittier Fault, so a stack this age should still be checked for cracks.
The Houses
Around La Mirada the stock runs to stucco and wood ranch-style houses, mostly owner-occupied, with later condos and townhomes.
Before the First Fire
Sixty years in, a look up the flue after sweeping teaches more than any glance from the yard.
