The Homes We Work On in Pasadena
This is one of Southern California's great architecture towns: Craftsman bungalows from the 1900s–1920s, Spanish Colonial Revival and Tudor homes from the 1920s, and notable mid-century modern work in the hills. Lots in the established neighborhoods are generous, and many homes retain original woodwork and detailing worth preserving.
Permits and Plan Check
The City of Pasadena issues its own permits through its Planning and Community Development Department, and it takes historic preservation seriously — homes in landmark districts or with designated status face additional design review before permits are approved. Even outside historic districts, the city reviews exterior changes on older homes carefully. Knowing which track a property falls into early prevents costly redesigns.
Popular Projects in Pasadena
- Kitchen Remodel: Craftsman and Spanish-era kitchens can be opened up and modernized while keeping the home's character intact.
- Bathroom Remodel: Original baths in 1920s homes are typically small and ready for period-sensitive updates.
- Room Addition: Deep lots allow rear additions that add space without altering historic street-facing facades.
- ADU / Garage Conversion: Detached garages and carriage-house lots convert naturally into rental or family ADUs.
