Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Port Hueneme
Condo complexes front the beach and detached houses are only about a third of homes, with modest postwar streets behind. Shared stacks in salty air need an owner or association to keep track of them, and roof photos make that easier. Salt air and fog work through steel caps and flashing quicker than inland, so stainless or copper parts are a better bet. The soft Oxnard Plain ground under the city can also shake hard in regional quakes.
The Houses
On our Port Hueneme visits: beachfront condo complexes, modest postwar houses, many apartments, few detached homes.
On the Roof
Rust on caps, chase covers and fasteners, shared stacks on beachfront buildings, then crown and mortar on postwar houses.
Which Metal
316 stainless for anything near the beach here, and copper is also fine where a condo association prefers it.
