The Houses
In Sierra Madre we mostly see cottages and Craftsmans on village streets, canyon homes, and postwar ranches.
Weather and Season
Old brick here sits practically on top of a fault, one that carries the town's own name and hugs the mountain base. The 2008 Santa Anita Fire also burned the canyon above town and forced evacuations. Colder winter nights give mortar plenty to contend with.
Same Drive
Pasadena, Arcadia, Monrovia sit on the same stretch of road, so a visit there often shares the day with Sierra Madre.
The Report
You get photos and a plain-language write-up of your Sierra Madre chimney before any repair is planned.
