Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Laguna Niguel
Planning began in 1960 by Cabot, Cabot and Forbes on Rancho Niguel land, and roughly 1 home in 4 is older than 1980. Bear Brand and Marina Hills have hillside and gated homes, where a chimney top is easy to miss from below. Ocean breezes keep summers milder here than in the inland valleys. Dry gusts can tug at caps and move embers through fall and winter, and locally the ground itself, with its grading and landslides, is a bigger concern than any offshore fault.
The Houses
On our Laguna Niguel visits: Marina Hills and Bear Brand houses on hillsides, gated tracts, master-planned homes, attached units.
On the Roof
Chase cover and seams, cap and screen in dry gusts, tile flashing on hillside homes, and any ground-related lean.
Which Metal
Ocean breezes bring some salt, so stainless is the right material for a Laguna Niguel chase cover, with 316 on the most exposed ridges.
Same Day, Nearby
Laguna Niguel visits often share a day with Monarch Beach, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo.
