Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in La Habra
Citrus and avocado groves turned into tract housing here mostly from the fifties through the seventies, and small prewar bungalows stay near downtown. Close to 8 homes in 10 went up before 1980, so aged crowns are the common roof question. Against the Puente Hills with limited marine influence, summers run warm and rust stays slow. Regional shaking has been felt here too, from Whittier Narrows and Chino Hills, so look at joints.
The Houses
On our La Habra visits: prewar bungalows near downtown, fifties through seventies tracts, stucco houses, attached homes.
On the Roof
Aged crowns and mortar, small bungalow stacks near downtown, flashing, and whether the cap still holds.
Which Metal
Limited sea air means a standard stainless cap should last a long time on a La Habra house.
