Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Corona
Brick chimneys survive on early 1900s bungalows around Grand Boulevard, but half the homes date from about 1991 or later, and only about a quarter are older than 1980. So a Corona roof check usually means newer metal, with old brick only on a few streets. Sun and summer heat open up crowns and joints over the years, and rust follows water. The 2008 Freeway Complex Fire started close by near the 91, and Chino Hills shook the area that same year.
The Houses
On our Corona visits: early 1900s bungalows with brick near Grand Boulevard, hillside custom homes, later tracts.
On the Roof
Bungalow mortar near Grand Boulevard, chase covers on later tracts, ember screens on hillside homes, and sun-cracked crowns.
Which Metal
Far from salt, the stress is sun and embers, so stainless with fine mesh is the plain pick for Corona hillside homes.
Same Day, Nearby
Corona visits often share a day with Jurupa Valley, Yorba Linda, Temescal Valley.
