Learn MoreHow we work in Culver City
Culver City has been building townhomes and condos alongside its older bungalows, so a Culver City day can include both. In the older houses the fireplace is often the one part a remodel left alone. We note what the remodel left behind: a gas line run into a wood-burning opening, or a flue that now passes through a new attic. Ocean air keeps winters gentle here, and many fireplaces sit unused for a year or more. Birds, leaves and slow mortar wear build up in that time, which is why the first fire of the season is when a skipped check shows up as smoke in the room.
In a Building
Townhome and condo owners get a note for their unit and, where the building shares vents, a list for the HOA.
In a House
In a remodeled bungalow we check that the firebox, flue and any new gas line still fit together, and write down what the remodel left behind.
Same Day, Nearby
Culver City visits often share a day with Culver Crest, Blair Hills, Carlson Park.
