Remodeling in Orange: What to Know
The Homes We Work On in Orange
Old Towne offers a remarkable concentration of Victorian, Craftsman, and early-20th-century homes around the historic plaza, while the rest of the city is largely post-war and later tract development, including hillside neighborhoods to the east. Owners in the district place a premium on era-appropriate materials and detailing.
Permits and Plan Check
The City of Orange issues its own permits, and projects in the Old Towne historic district — one of California's largest — go through design review to protect the area's period architecture before building permits are released. Outside the district, residential plan check is conventional. We identify district boundaries and review requirements before design starts.
