Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Santa Ana
Floral Park is known for twenties and thirties period revival homes, and French Park, Wilshire Square and Washington Square keep more old streets. Postwar ranch homes with brick fireplaces fill most other areas, so a Santa Ana chimney is usually masonry of some age. In 1933 the Long Beach shaking damaged brick buildings here, and old masonry in the historic neighborhoods may still carry that. Freezes rarely matter here, but dry fall and winter gusts test caps.
The Houses
On our Santa Ana visits: period revival homes in Floral Park, older houses around French Park and Wilshire Square, postwar ranch tracts.
On the Roof
Period revival stacks in the historic districts, postwar crowns and joints, flashing, and cap fasteners after gusts.
Which Metal
A standard stainless cap is the common pick for a Santa Ana home, since salt is mild at this distance.
