Why Santa Monica homes need chimney rebuilds
Salt air and constant moisture push failure timelines ahead of drier neighborhoods, so inspection intervals get shortened rather than left on a standard schedule. Any replacement hardware that skips corrosion resistance is treated as a repeat failure waiting to happen. A standard visit walks through partial rebuild (above roofline), full chimney reconstruction, and earthquake damage repair and retrofit, scoped to what that chimney actually needs instead of a one-price guess.
