Built to Outlast the Windin the 909Chimney repair, wind-rated caps and masonry for Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Fontana and Chino
When the Santa Anas come roaring out of the Cajon Pass, chimneys across the valley take the hit. Caps fly off, chase tops peel back, and loose brick comes down onto tile roofs. Add 100-degree summers baking the stucco, plus old river rock chimneys up in Alta Loma and Etiwanda, and you've got a valley with its own set of chimney problems. Our Ontario crew handles all of it, any hour of the day.

Santa Ana season
What a windstorm leaves behind
A cap in the yard
Screwed-on caps loosen over the years, then one big gust sends them into the pool or the neighbor's lot.
Peeled-back chase top
Thin sheet-metal chase covers lift at the edges, letting dust, birds and the next rain inside.
Loose top courses
Brick already weakened by heat and age can shift or drop, often onto clay tiles.
Broken tiles around the base
Flying debris cracks tiles near the chimney, and the first winter rain finds the gap.

Old Rancho stonework
River rock chimneys need a mason who gets them
Older homes on the alluvial slopes of Alta Loma and Etiwanda were often built with rounded cobbles from the washes. They're beautiful, and they fail in their own way.
Smooth stones, weak grip
Round cobbles rely almost entirely on mortar to stay put, so worn joints mean loose rock.
Deep, uneven joints
Wide mortar gaps crack and wash out faster than tight brick joints do.
Matching matters
Gray patches on warm, sandy mortar stick out. We tint and texture to blend.
Heavy and tall
Stone stacks are heavy, so we check the crown, ties and flue for safety as well as looks.
Washed-out jointsStones loosening
Repointed and matchedSolid for decades
Before October
Get your chimney ready for wind season
Santa Ana events usually pick up in fall. A quick check beforehand saves a lot of storm calls later.
CAP
Tighten the cap
Check fasteners and corrosion. Old screws in rusted collars are the first to fail.
CHASE
Check the chase top
Lifted edges or rust holes need fixing before wind gets under them.
BRICK
Look at the top courses
Cracked crowns or loose brick should be repaired before a gust finishes the job.
EMBERS
Add a spark arrestor
Dry winds plus embers is a bad mix. A mesh screen keeps sparks in the flue.

Will you come out during a windstorm at night?
We answer 24/7. If bricks or a cap are hanging loose, we'll talk you through keeping people clear and come as soon as it's safe to work on the roof. For fire or a gas smell, call 911 first.
The wind blew my chimney cap off. Is it OK to use the fireplace?
It's better to wait. Without a cap, rain, birds and debris get in, and there's no spark screen to hold embers. We can usually fit a new, stronger cap quickly.
What makes a cap "wind-rated"?
Heavier stainless, a snug fit and more secure fastening to the flue or crown. On chases we prefer welded, sloped covers over thin pans that can lift.
Can you repair an old river rock chimney?
Yes. We reset loose cobbles, repoint the joints with mortar tinted to match, and check the crown and flue so it's safe as well as good-looking.
Why is my stucco chimney cracking?
Heat cycling, settling and old wind damage all crack stucco. Small cracks let water reach the framing behind, so sealing them early matters.
My roof is tile. Can you still work on the chimney?
Yes. We know how to walk and lift tile without breaking it, and we redo flashing so it laps properly with the tile.
Which cities do you cover?
Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Alta Loma, Etiwanda, Upland, Montclair, Fontana, Chino, Chino Hills, Eastvale, Claremont, Pomona and Jurupa Valley.
