Learn MoreWhat we look after in Los Alamitos
Los Alamitos took shape around what is now the Joint Forces Training Base, and only about 2 in 5 households own. Rentals get forgotten easily. If a fireplace sits in one, we give whoever is responsible a plain answer. Mild winters with almost no hard frost mean weather wear is slow, with moderate salt exposure from the coast. A major fault runs close by to the southwest, the Newport-Inglewood, so any older masonry deserves a look.
The Houses
Around Los Alamitos the stock runs to compact postwar tracts and apartments around the military base, about 4 in 10 detached.
Before the First Fire
In a rental, ask the owner when it was last swept, and if nobody knows, keep it dark until it has been checked.
Care of the Room
In a tenant's home, we move little, explain what we are doing, and leave a clear hearth.
