Period Homes and Roofs in Cheviot Hills
Many Cheviot Hills homes were built between the 1920s and 1940s near what is now Rancho Park golf course. Owners here care deeply about keeping their character.
- Spanish Colonial Revival homes with original clay tile that may be close to a century old.
- Tudor and English-style homes with steep roofs, dormers and big brick chimneys.
- Monterey and traditional homes with wood-look or shingle roofs.
- Hillside lots where roofs are exposed to more wind and sun.
Old clay tile can still be in great shape. The felt under it usually is not. Saving the tile and replacing the layers beneath is often the best value.

Cheviot Hills questions
Roofing Questions From Cheviot Hills Homeowners
Quick answers for property owners in Cheviot Hills.
Can you reuse the original clay tile on my Cheviot Hills home?
In most cases, yes. We carefully remove the tile, replace the worn layers below and reinstall it, replacing only broken pieces.
How do you match broken tiles on an older Cheviot Hills roof?
We check makers and salvage yards for tiles with the same shape and color. When needed, we move tiles from hidden areas to the front.
Why does my Cheviot Hills chimney leak when it rains?
Most chimney leaks come from old flashing or a cracked chimney cap. We rebuild the flashing so water runs around the chimney.
Is there rot under my older Cheviot Hills roof?
There may be, especially near eaves and old leaks. We check during the inspection and show you photos before replacing any wood.
