Learn MoreWhat we look after in Maywood
With about 44% of homes older than 1950, Maywood is one of the older small cities around, packed with stucco bungalows on tight lots. Close neighbors make a falling cap or loose brick more than a private worry, so we check those parts carefully. Morning clouds come in late spring and early summer, and rain from November through March keeps testing old crowns. This area has felt big quakes twice, in 1933 and again in 1987, so flues this old call for a camera.
The Houses
Around Maywood the stock runs to tight lots of small stucco bungalows, largely from before 1950, with some small apartment buildings.
Before the First Fire
Tight lots mean a loose cap can land next door, so have the top checked along with the flue before winter.
Care of the Room
In a small bungalow, every cloth counts, so we protect the path and the hearth and move very little.
Close By
Maywood stops sometimes fall alongside Cudahy, Walnut Park, East Los Angeles.
