Learn MoreWhat we look after in Temple City
Temple City has few condos, and 8 in 10 homes are detached, but rebuilding has put larger modern gas-fireplace houses on some lots. So a 1959 brick stack may sit next door to a new gas unit. Each needs its own kind of look, and we keep them separate. Whittier Narrows struck close by in 1987 and shook this area hard, and older brick here still carries that. Dry Santa Ana gusts can pry at a loose cap, and hot days then cool nights keep flexing mortar and crowns.
The Houses
Around Temple City the stock runs to mostly detached homes around 1959, with few condos, and rebuilt larger modern houses with gas fireplaces.
Before the First Fire
If your chimney was standing in 1987, ask for a camera, and if it is gas, have the venting looked over.
Care of the Room
New finishes and older floors both get a soft layer, and the vacuum runs from first brush to last.
