Why Montebello Homes Get Retrofitted
Montebello carries housing from the 1920s oil-boom years through the postwar decades — older hillside homes on raised foundations with brick chimneys.
Montebello's 1920s-era homes are old enough that foundation condition is the first question, not bolting — mud sill repair and sectional foundation work come up here more than in any neighboring city we serve.
