The Houses
In Manhattan Beach we mostly see Sand Section and Hill Section homes, surviving early cottages, and later detached houses.
Weather and Season
May and June bring frequent cloud off the water, and damp air keeps masonry wet longer than inland. Salt adds to the wear on metal. A fault also lies offshore, southwest of town, so old mortar joints should get a look now and again.
Same Drive
Hermosa Beach, El Segundo, Torrance sit on the same stretch of road, so a visit there often shares the day with Manhattan Beach.
The Report
You get photos and a plain-language write-up of your Manhattan Beach chimney before any repair is planned.
