Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills homes often have more chimneys than the household uses, and the ones nobody lights get the least attention. We check every stack from the roof, then sweep and inspect the fireplaces in use. The rust note lists each cap and chase cover by where it sits on the roof, so a contractor or house manager can find it. The canyons north of Sunset bring fall wind and brush close to the houses, so the spark arrestor screen gets a close look on every cap. Decorative chimney tops and custom shrouds are common here, and we check that a screen is still there under the trim.
The Houses
On our Beverly Hills visits: large homes with several flues in the hills north of Sunset, Spanish and Tudor revival houses in the flats, and mid-century houses in the canyons.
On the Roof
Every cap and spark arrestor, decorative shrouds that may hide a missing screen, multi-flue crowns, and the flashing on larger roofs.
Which Metal
The hills north of Sunset bring wind and embers more than salt, so a secure, screened cap matters more than the metal grade. Copper is common here for looks, and we check its screen like any other.
