For Long Beach residents, we recommend annual chimney cleaning before winter. Coastal weather can cause faster creosote buildup than inland areas. If you use your fireplace frequently (more than 3 times weekly), consider bi-annual cleaning to prevent chimney fires and maintain efficiency.

For Long Beach's coastal environment, we recommend:

• Salt-resistant concrete - handles ocean air corrosion
• Interlocking pavers - withstands minor seismic activity
• Permeable surfaces - helps with occasional heavy rains

We'll help you choose materials that complement your home while enduring our unique microclimate.

Long Beach's combination of ocean winds and urban trees creates unique gutter challenges:

• Palm fronds and tropical leaves clog faster than typical foliage
• Sea breeze carries more airborne debris
• Our rare heavy rains demand free-flowing drainage

We recommend cleaning at least twice yearly - before winter rains and after spring blossoms.

• Moisture damage from ocean air
• Previous improper repairs common in historic districts
