Learn MoreWhat we look after in Seal Beach
Small-lot cottages fill Old Town Seal Beach, midcentury tracts make up College Park, and Surfside Colony sits on the beach. Nearly all the housing is older than 1980. Salt and age go together here, and we look at both. Exposed steel wears out faster here than a few miles inland, and damp keeps masonry wet longer. Next door in Long Beach, the 1933 quake caused heavy damage, while occasional Santa Anas add dry gusts that can loosen a weakened cap.
The Houses
Around Seal Beach the stock runs to beach homes and small-lot cottages by Main Street, College Park tracts, Surfside Colony, many attached units.
Before the First Fire
Old Town cottages should have the cap and any brick checked, because salt and a nearby fault are both in play.
Care of the Room
Small cottages get careful, close covers, and we keep sand and soot away from your floors.
