Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Placentia
Stucco ranch tracts went up here from the fifties through the seventies, so expect masonry on the older streets and factory-built units in later homes. A 1902 landmark, the Bradford House, shows the town is older than its tracts. Sun dries and cracks crowns and joints over the years, and marine influence is modest this far inland. Fires in 2008 and 2020 came close on the Yorba Linda side, and the Chino Hills quake was felt strongly.
The Houses
On our Placentia visits: stucco ranch tracts from the fifties through seventies, brick or block fireplaces, condos and apartments.
On the Roof
Sun-cracked crown, brick or block joints, factory-built chase on later homes, and the ember screen.
Which Metal
Modest marine influence here means a standard stainless cap does the job for most Placentia homes.
