Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Orange
Victorian, Craftsman and bungalow homes fill Old Towne, often with original brick, and that is the part of the city where old mortar gets the closest look. Later tracts and Orange Park Acres equestrian lots have different chimneys and fewer age problems. East side evacuations came with the 2017 Canyon 2 Fire, and sun and heat crack crowns everywhere. Rust follows wherever water gets in, and La Habra's 2014 shaking reached Orange too.
The Houses
On our Orange visits: Old Towne Victorians, Craftsman and bungalow homes, Orange Park Acres equestrian lots, later tracts.
On the Roof
Old Towne brick and crowns, ember screens on the east side, flashing on later tracts, and cap fasteners.
Which Metal
Salt hardly reaches here, so pick stainless for Old Towne caps, and add fine mesh toward Orange Park Acres and the canyons.
