The Houses
In Santa Monica we mostly see apartment buildings far ahead of houses, 1930s and 1940s courtyard buildings, and a few detached homes.
Weather and Season
Many chimneys here failed in the 1994 Northridge quake, along with apartment buildings, so old patchwork is worth a look. Sea air and a steady marine layer rust metal and keep brick wet. Summer heat is rare, and Santa Anas are occasional.
Same Drive
Marina del Rey, Culver City sit on the same stretch of road, so a visit there often shares the day with Santa Monica.
The Report
You get photos and a plain-language write-up of your Santa Monica chimney before any repair is planned.
