Learn MoreWhat we look after in Monterey Park
Monterey Park's hill streets mix masonry with later fireplaces, so two neighbors on one slope may own very different flues. Sloping lots can also make a chimney harder to see whole. Before any advice, we work out what yours is built from and walk its full height. Close by in 1987, a quake did real damage to this area, so mortar that old deserves doubt. Dry winds crest these hills every fall, and hillside brush makes a whole spark screen a sensible thing to have.
The Houses
Around Monterey Park the stock runs to 1950s and 1960s ranch and hillside houses on sloping lots, with condos and apartments added later.
Before the First Fire
A 1960s hillside stack rode out 1987 close to its center, so a camera is a fair request before this season's fires.
Care of the Room
Rooms with a view can be open and bright, so the cover spreads wide and windows stay clear of anything we carry through.
Close By
Monterey Park stops sometimes fall alongside San Gabriel, South San Gabriel, El Sereno.
