Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Rosemead
Walnut and farm land turned to housing here after World War II, and the typical home is a single-story stucco house on a modest lot. Renters are a large share even though most units are detached, so a chimney may need an owner's attention from afar. The 1987 Whittier Narrows shaking was centered right here, which makes mortar the opening question on any chimney from before then. Heat and winter moisture then keep wearing on crowns and caps.
The Houses
On our Rosemead visits: one-story stucco houses on modest lots, apartments along main streets, fifties and sixties building.
On the Roof
Mortar on stacks that stood through 1987, the crown, flashing around small stucco-house chimneys, and cap fasteners.
Which Metal
Heat is the main stress on metal here, and a standard stainless cap is usually enough for a Rosemead home.
Same Day, Nearby
Rosemead visits often share a day with Montebello, Temple City, Alhambra.
