Santa Monica and what drives its service calls
Ocean exposure in Santa Monica means we photograph hardware condition at every visit, comparing it against inland wear rates before recommending stainless or copper replacements. That comparison is what justifies the marine-grade upgrade rather than a standard part. That context shapes how the technician plans a chimney flashing repair visit here: what gets loaded onto the truck, how long the stop is scheduled for, and what the follow-up notes need to cover.
