Open this serviceGlendale notes from the roof
Up in the hills it is fire country when the Santa Anas blow, and down on the flats it bakes all summer. A capped, screened flue handles the ember risk and the animal risk with one part.
The Houses
On Glendale roofs we meet 1920s Spanish and Tudor houses, Craftsman bungalows, and hillside homes in the canyons. Each chimney gets its cap, crown and flue looked at on the first visit.
