Learn MoreWhat we look after in Monrovia
North of Foothill Boulevard, Monrovia keeps period homes and later hillside houses, while tracts and apartments fill the south. Renters and owners split about evenly. So a chimney here may be a treasured old stack or a forgotten one, and both get the same straight report. The Sierra Madre and Raymond faults both run through or close to town, so older masonry deserves real suspicion. Bobcat Fire warnings reached here in 2020, and fall canyon winds can work at a cap.
The Houses
Around Monrovia the stock runs to period and hillside homes on the north side of town, postwar tracts and apartments south.
Before the First Fire
North of Foothill, confirm your ember screen first, and if the house is old, get a camera up the flue too.
Care of the Room
Period woodwork gets padded, and in the rentals to the south, tenants hear from us about what will happen in their room.

Monrovia stops sometimes fall alongside Arcadia, Bradbury, Duarte.
