Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Redondo Beach
Redondo has layers: 1890s resort-era cottages, postwar North Redondo streets, hillside view homes, and lots of later condos near the shore. A condo stack may be shared among owners, while a cottage chimney may be all yours, and both rust near the water. Close to the beach, salt air eats caps, flashing and fasteners in short order, while frost is rare and rain keeps to November through March. Inland several miles, the Newport-Inglewood Fault keeps older mortar on the list.
The Houses
On our Redondo Beach visits: early coast cottages, many shore condos and townhomes, North Redondo postwar streets, hillside view homes.
On the Roof
Rust on caps and flashing near the pier and harbor, shared stacks on condos, then crown and mortar on cottage and postwar brick.
Which Metal
By the shore, 316 stainless; up in North Redondo or on the hillside, we set the metal by how far the home is from the water.
