Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Buena Park
James Whitaker founded Buena Park in the 1880s, but only about 1 home in 20 goes back before 1950; half were up by 1965. Most chimneys here are postwar, on a mix of houses and attached units, so a roof-level look shows what sixty years have done. Marine air holds summers down and keeps rust on steel caps moderate. Rain mostly comes November through March, exposing cracked crowns and bad flashing, and the center of the 2014 La Habra quake was close.
The Houses
On our Buena Park visits: postwar houses, apartments and condos, few prewar homes, detached majority.
On the Roof
Moderate rust on steel caps, crowns and flashing before winter, then mortar joints shaken in 2014.
Which Metal
Rust moves at a moderate pace here, so stainless pays off when a cap fails, without needing the coastal 316 grade.
