The Houses
In Lakewood we mostly see stucco and wood-frame tract houses of one story, built on a few floor plans.
Weather and Season
Sea air and sun have been at Lakewood's crowns, mortar and caps for some 70 years. Long Beach shook this ground in 1933, before any of these houses existed. Cool May and June clouds keep the masonry damp, and a good cap helps.
Same Drive
Bellflower, Artesia, Long Beach sit on the same stretch of road, so a visit there often shares the day with Lakewood.
The Report
You get photos and a plain-language write-up of your Lakewood chimney before any repair is planned.
