Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Anaheim
In 1857 German winemakers started Anaheim, and the Colony Historic District keeps early homes, while Anaheim Hills brought larger stucco houses from the seventies. Detached homes are only about 4 in 10 units, so a chimney here ranges from old brick to a metal flue. Neither coast nor desert, this city gets moderate weather, some marine air and the occasional Santa Ana. Shaking from Chino Hills in 2008 and from La Habra in 2014 reached Anaheim, and wet winters find the cracks.
The Houses
On our Anaheim visits: Anaheim Colony Historic District homes, factory-built fireplaces in later tracts, larger stucco homes in Anaheim Hills.
On the Roof
Old mortar in the Colony district, chase covers in later tracts, flashing, and caps against occasional Santa Ana gusts.
Which Metal
At this distance from the coast, a standard stainless cap or chase cover usually gives a long life in Anaheim.
Same Day, Nearby
Anaheim visits often share a day with Orange, Anaheim Hills, Stanton.
