The Houses
In San Marino we mostly see Tudor, English and Spanish Colonial Revival homes on estate-sized lots.
Weather and Season
Whittier Narrows hit the San Gabriel Valley hard in 1987, and hand-laid masonry from the 1920s does not forgive much. Inland heat and cool nights keep the joints moving, then winter leaks show up where the crown has cracked. Fire has stayed out of town.
Same Drive
Alhambra, San Gabriel, South Pasadena sit on the same stretch of road, so a visit there often shares the day with San Marino.
The Report
You get photos and a plain-language write-up of your San Marino chimney before any repair is planned.
