Remodeling in South Pasadena
What is different about remodeling in South Pasadena?
South Pasadena takes its older houses seriously. About 2,500 properties are on the city's Cultural Heritage Inventory, and the city keeps design guidelines for Craftsman, Mission and Spanish Colonial, and turn-of-the-century homes. Historic designation affects only exterior changes, so most kitchen and bathroom remodels are a Building Division matter. Window changes are the exception: they need a permit, plan check and design approval.
The median home here was built in 1953, and nearly nine in ten predate 1980. We remodel kitchens and baths in these houses with cabinets from our own workshop, built in profiles that suit the era, and we bring the plumbing and wiring up to current code while the walls are open.
Services in South Pasadena
What we do for South Pasadena homes.

Kitchen remodeling in South Pasadena
The city keeps design guidelines for Craftsman, Mission and Spanish Colonial, and turn-of-the-century homes. Those rules cover the outside. Inside, we build framed or inset cabinets in profiles that suit the house.

Bathroom remodeling in South Pasadena
Bathrooms in older South Pasadena houses are often small. Leaving the window as it is avoids design approval, and a vanity built to the inch makes the most of the room.

Whole-home remodeling
We remodel whole houses and condos as a single project, run by one project manager at a fixed price.

Room additions
Primary suites, family rooms and second stories, framed and finished to match the existing house.

ADU construction
Detached ADUs, garage conversions and JADUs, from the first site visit through final inspection.

Custom cabinetry
Kitchen cabinets, vanities, closets and built-ins, made to measure in our own workshop and installed by our crew.
Permits
Who issues remodel permits in South Pasadena?
Kitchens. South Pasadena issues its own permits. Replacing kitchen cabinets alone does not need a permit, but adding or moving a sink or other plumbing fixture does, and new or retrofit windows need a permit, plan check and design approval.
Bathrooms. South Pasadena issues its own permits. Replacing a fixture in exactly the same spot, with no work on the waste or vent lines, does not need a permit. Adding or moving a sink, toilet or similar fixture does, and window changes need plan check and design approval.
