Learn MoreWhat we look after in La Puente
Walnut groves gave way to stucco tracts in La Puente after about 1950, and only about 1 home in 5 is newer than 1980. A house this age may well have had its gas line added later. We check the damper and the old firebox together. Late-spring clouds rarely linger here, and summer heat plus winter rain gradually wear on crowns and caps. Chino Hills was felt in 2008 too, a fair reason to look at a chimney with no record.
The Houses
Around La Puente the stock runs to modest stucco tracts of one-story homes, built up in the 1950s and 1960s.
Before the First Fire
Low chimneys are easy to ignore, but heat and rain still get to them, so have the crown and cap checked.
Care of the Room
Modest living rooms get cloths from entry to hearth, and the room is vacuumed before we pack up.
Close By
La Puente stops sometimes fall alongside Bassett, Hacienda Heights, Avocado Heights.
