Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in La Habra Heights
Lots here commonly run an acre or larger, and custom building means no two chimneys need be alike. About a quarter of homes predate 1950, so a ranch or period Spanish stack may need a different look than a later custom house. Wildfire is a live concern among these brushy canyons, enough that the town keeps a fire department of its own. The Whittier Fault crosses these hills too, so both embers and shaking matter alongside ordinary summer heat and winter rain.
The Houses
On our La Habra Heights visits: custom homes on an acre or more, period Spanish and ranch houses, larger later houses.
On the Roof
Ember screen in brush country, then crown and mortar on older Spanish or ranch stacks, and flashing at the roof seam.
Which Metal
Choose stainless with fine mesh; brush-covered canyons make an intact screen matter more than the grade of metal.
