Learn MoreWhat we look after in San Clemente
Red tile roofs and white stucco were once required in San Clemente, and plenty of those early houses remain by downtown, sometimes with masonry. Newer tracts at Talega and Marblehead Coastal use factory or gas fireplaces. So your address tells us half of the question, 58 miles from Silver Lake. Salt air corrodes steel caps and chase covers quickly, and damp keeps masonry wet longer. Talega and other eastern neighborhoods border brushy hills beside Camp Pendleton, so spark screens matter there, and fault zones run offshore.
The Houses
Around San Clemente the stock runs to red tile and white stucco homes by downtown, newer tracts at Talega and Marblehead Coastal.
Before the First Fire
Near the water, check steel for rust, and in Talega, confirm a good spark screen because of the brushy hills beside you.
Care of the Room
Tile, plaster and white walls show every mark, so we keep soot in the firebox and cover widely.
Close By
San Clemente stops sometimes fall alongside Talega, San Onofre, Capistrano Beach.
