Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in La Verne
North La Verne has hillside custom homes, while mobile home parks are a big piece of the mix further down. Half the homes were up by 1976, so the chimney could be masonry, a metal flue or simply a small vent, and the roof visit starts by seeing which. Inland and hotter than the coast, this foothill setting also sees strong fall and winter Santa Anas that test cap fasteners. The Sierra Madre Fault zone running by the mountains is the quake factor to keep in mind.
The Houses
On our La Verne visits: hillside custom homes in the north, mobile home parks, citrus-era houses, detached tract homes.
On the Roof
Cap fastening against Santa Anas, crown or chase top depending on the house, flashing, and the screen on hillside homes.
Which Metal
Wind and sun set the metal choice this far inland, which means a stainless cap with sturdy fasteners rather than a beach-grade upgrade.
Same Day, Nearby
La Verne visits often share a day with Upland, Pomona, Azusa.
