Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Stanton
Detached homes are only about a quarter of Stanton, and most housing dates from the fifties through the seventies. Many attached units have no chimney, but the small stucco houses often have brick or block, which is worth a look from the roof. About ten miles inland, marine mornings and warm summers give moderate wear. Santa Anas can tear at caps through the fall and winter, and the Newport-Inglewood fault, which caused the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, is off to the southwest.
The Houses
On our Stanton visits: small stucco tract houses, many attached units, older brick or block fireplaces, some homes with no chimney.
On the Roof
Brick or block crown on small stucco houses, the cap, flashing, and shared stacks on attached buildings.
Which Metal
Moderate sea air makes stainless worth it for a replaced part, though 316 is not usually needed this far from the beach.
