Learn MoreWhat we look after in Paramount
Paramount was a big hay market, and the Hay Tree still marks it, yet most homes now are postwar houses mixed with large apartment complexes. Older houses with fireplaces tend to have brick. If yours does, we go up it with a light and tell you honestly how it looks. Low clouds gather on May and June mornings, frost almost never comes, and rain mostly arrives from November through March. The 1933 quake reached these old farm towns too, so very old brick deserves the extra look.
The Houses
Around Paramount the stock runs to postwar single-story houses, older brick chimneys, and many apartment complexes.
Before the First Fire
Check for no-burn alerts between November and February, and get brick from before the war looked at before winter.
Care of the Room
One-story homes make carrying gear easy, but floors still get full covers, and we stay within the area you agree on.
Close By
Paramount stops sometimes fall alongside Bellflower, Compton, Downey.
