Learn MoreWhat we look after in Ventura County
From farm homes around Santa Paula and Somis to harbor houses in Oxnard and Port Hueneme, this county's chimneys vary with the land. Almost two thirds of households own. We plan any visit ahead, since it sits about 53 miles from Silver Lake, and report plainly. The 2017 Thomas Fire burned through much of the city of Ventura and on into Ojai Valley and Santa Paula, so screens matter. Several faults cross the county, and Mount Pinos sees freezing nights that stress masonry.
The Houses
Around Ventura County the stock runs to farm and ranch homes around Somis and Santa Paula, harbor and beach homes in Oxnard, and detached tracts.
Before the First Fire
Inland, confirm your spark screen after the Thomas Fire, and on the coast, have metal parts looked at for rust.
Care of the Room
Farmhouse floors and harbor condos alike stay under cloth, and soot leaves in closed bags.
Close By
Ventura County stops sometimes fall alongside Simi Valley, Oxnard, Moorpark.
