Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Hermosa Beach
Old beach cottages and tall rebuilds stand side by side in the Sand Section, on lots too small to step back and look up. A cottage chimney may date to the forties or before, so photos from the roof show what salt and age have done. Frost and heavy heat hardly figure here. Salt is the stress, along with damp air that keeps masonry wet and rusts galvanized caps, chase covers and flashing ahead of schedule.
The Houses
On our Hermosa Beach visits: Sand Section walk streets, early beach cottages, tall modern rebuilds, postwar houses with brick or block stacks.
On the Roof
Rust on caps, chase covers, flashing and every fastener, then mortar on cottage brick and the crown under all that damp air.
Which Metal
This close to the water, nothing short of 316 stainless for caps and chase covers, with fasteners to match.
