Learn MoreA Baker family visit in Ojai
The drive to Ojai over Highway 150 is one of the nicest on our route. Ojai homes burn a lot of wood, so most visits start with a sweep and a measure of how much creosote came out, then a check of the cap and spark screen and any oak limbs near the chimney top.
The Houses
In Ojai we mostly see Spanish Revival and adobe-style homes, board-and-batten cottages, ranch houses under the oaks, and custom homes up the foothill roads.
Weather and Season
The valley is ringed by chaparral, and the Thomas Fire came through here in 2017. A properly sized spark arrestor and a crown that holds are not optional in Ojai. We also look for oak limbs hanging over the chimney top, since leaves and embers do not mix.
Same Drive
Meiners Oaks, Oak View, Santa Paula sit on the same stretch of road, so a visit there often shares the day with Ojai.
The Report
You get photos and a plain-language write-up of your Ojai chimney before any repair is planned.
