Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Santa Clarita
Newhall Land's master plan started Valencia in the sixties, and tract waves followed. Half the homes date from about 1987 or later, so expect a factory-built or gas fireplace and a chase on the roof; the questions are cover, cap and seams, not brick. Canyons and passes speed up Santa Anas here, and homes at the city's edge burned in the 2016 Sand Fire. Two quakes, in 1971 and again in 1994, damaged homes around the valley, so older chimneys and metal flues deserve a check.
The Houses
On our Santa Clarita visits: stucco tract homes, factory-built or gas fireplaces, Valencia master plan streets, attached homes.
On the Roof
Chase cover and seams, cap and ember screen in canyon wind, flashing, and any movement on older homes from 1971 or 1994.
Which Metal
Wind through the passes can pull at thin metal, so a sturdy stainless chase cover and a fastened cap suit most homes here.
