Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in San Dimas
An 1887 railroad citrus town left early houses around Old Town, and condos, townhomes and mobile homes later joined the detached streets. About 6 in 10 homes are older than 1980, so the roof visit might meet brick, block or a metal flue. Santa Anas can blow hard in fall and winter, and heat and winter moisture work on crowns and metal. Fire burned the San Dimas Experimental Forest above town in 1960, and the Sierra Madre Fault zone lies along the mountain front.
The Houses
On our San Dimas visits: Old Town early houses, detached family homes, condos, townhomes and mobile homes.
On the Roof

Which Metal
This far inland, wind sets the metal choice, so a well fastened stainless cap is the plain answer for a San Dimas home.
