What the local weather does to fireplace cleaning in Rancho Palos Verdes
Ocean salt corrodes standard cap hardware quickly, and once a cap fails it stops doing its real job during fire season, keeping wind-blown embers out of the flue. Copper and stainless steel resist that corrosion and hold their spark-stopping mesh intact through Santa Ana conditions. We factor that into how soon we recommend a follow-up, which materials we spec for the job, and what gets flagged in the report we leave with you.
