Learn MoreWhat we look after in Laguna Beach
About 27% of Laguna Beach homes predate 1950, and a city inventory lists its historic ones. Any chimney repair on a listed house needs thought. We describe what is there and what might help, so you can bring a clear note to the city if you must. City maps mark the steep hillsides as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so ember screens come first. Salt wears away steel on a roof quickly, damp keeps masonry wet longer, and fault zones lie offshore.

Around Laguna Beach the stock runs to homes on steep canyon lots, gated Three Arch Bay and Emerald Bay, older houses on a historic inventory.
Before the First Fire
On a mapped hillside, an ember screen is the first thing to confirm, followed by a look for rust and damp crowns.

Historic interiors and steep lots both need care, so gear comes in by hand and rooms stay under soft covers.
