Kitchen Remodeling In Pasadena

Many Pasadena kitchens in Craftsman bungalows and period revival homes were built small and closed off, often with original framing and aging wiring that complicates any update. Our kitchen remodeling services cover custom cabinets, countertops, layout changes, and storage solutions sized for real daily use. For design ideas before your consultation, browse HGTV Kitchen Ideas.

Bathroom Remodeling In Pasadena

Older Pasadena homes frequently have compact bathrooms with plaster walls and fixtures that have not been touched in decades. Our bathroom remodeling solutions cover vanities, tilework, and full layout updates for both primary baths and smaller powder rooms. You can also review current trends at Houzz Bathroom Remodel Ideas to get a sense of what fits your home.

Interior Remodeling In Pasadena

Opening up the closed floor plans common in Pasadena’s pre-war housing stock takes careful structural work, and our interior remodeling projects address that alongside custom staircases, new layouts, and finishes built to hold up over time. For examples of open-plan approaches that respect period character, Architectural Digest covers a range of thoughtful interior work.

Exterior Remodeling In Pasadena

Exterior changes in Pasadena can involve historic review, particularly in landmark districts like Bungalow Heaven, so material choices and scope matter from the start. Our exterior remodeling expertise covers siding, stucco, trim, and hardscape work coordinated with any required approvals. Additional context on exterior upgrades is available at This Old House – Exterior Upgrades.

Room Additions & ADUs In Pasadena

Adding space to a Pasadena lot, whether for a family member, a rental unit, or a dedicated workspace, starts with understanding what state law and local permitting allow. Our room additions and ADUs are planned with the City of Pasadena Building and Safety Division’s process in mind from the first conversation. State-level ADU rules and size standards are summarized at California’s HCD ADU Guide.

Garage Conversions In Pasadena

A detached garage on a Pasadena property can often become a guest suite, home office, or gym without a large footprint impact on the lot. We manage our garage conversion projects to meet city code requirements covering insulation, egress, and livability standards. Browse finished examples at Houzz Garage Conversions to see what the finished result can look like.

Outdoor Living Spaces In Pasadena

Pasadena’s climate supports year-round outdoor use, and a well-planned patio, pergola, or BBQ island can make a backyard genuinely functional rather than just decorative. Our outdoor living features are designed around how you actually use the space, not around a catalog layout. Better Homes & Gardens – Outdoor Spaces has a broad range of ideas worth reviewing before your estimate.

Flooring & Painting In Pasadena

Hardwood floors and carefully applied finishes can work well in older Pasadena homes where original character is worth keeping, and our flooring services cover hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, and related materials suited to period construction. Interior and exterior painting services are handled as part of a broader remodel scope, with finishes selected for durability and compatibility with existing surfaces.

Window & Door Installation In Pasadena

Replacing original wood windows in a Pasadena Craftsman or period revival home calls for products that meet current energy standards without clashing with the home’s character. Our window and door replacements are selected with both performance and appearance in mind, and efficiency ratings are measured against the standards published at Energy Star – Windows.

Home Remodeling Construction and Design Services in Pasadena

Home remodeling in Pasadena starts with understanding what is already there, and that means taking the city’s housing stock seriously before a single drawing is made. Horizon Construction and Remodeling has been working as a licensed Class B general building contractor, bonded, since 2009. Much of Pasadena’s residential fabric dates to the building boom that followed the Santa Fe railway’s arrival in 1887 and ran through the 1920s, with the city itself incorporated in 1886. The result is a neighborhood full of Craftsman bungalows and period revival houses carrying plaster walls, original wood windows, and the small rear kitchen and service porch layout that was standard at the time.

That original layout shapes every kitchen project we take on. Opening a closed plan means working around old framing and aging wiring, and those conditions tell us early where an addition can go and what it will take structurally. Permits for this work go through the City of Pasadena Building and Safety Division, which sits within the Planning and Community Development Department. We confirm permit requirements before design begins, because what the division requires often decides what is actually worth drawing.

Pasadena also has designated landmark districts that add a layer homeowners need to know about. Bungalow Heaven, with roughly 800 Craftsman homes built between 1900 and 1930 and designated in 1989, is one of them, and exterior changes in those areas can face historic review. Beyond landmark considerations, homes built before 1978 fall under federal lead renovation rules, and California’s own lead-in-construction standard tightened on January 1, 2025, with a permissible exposure limit of 10 micrograms per cubic meter along with monitoring, medical surveillance, and written notification requirements for triggering tasks. Separately, Health and Safety Code section 17958.8 means you are not required to bring an entire house up to current code simply to add a room, protecting the retention of original materials and methods that complied when they were built.

Why Choose Horizon Remodeling For Home Remodeling in Pasadena

Running a home remodeling project in Pasadena through a single company keeps drawings, structural engineering, permitting, and construction on one coordinated schedule. That matters here because the City of Pasadena Building and Safety Division, part of the Planning and Community Development Department, handles plan check, and projects in areas like Bungalow Heaven or other landmark districts can face historic review on top of standard code requirements. We manage that process directly, so nothing falls through the gap between design and permit approval.

Pasadena’s landmark districts add a layer of planning that affects exterior changes in particular. Bungalow Heaven alone contains roughly 800 Craftsman homes built between 1900 and 1930, and work visible from the street in those areas can require review before a permit is issued. We work across Pasadena’s neighborhoods, including Old Pasadena, Millionaire’s Row along Orange Grove Boulevard, and the South Lake Avenue district, as well as the surrounding communities of South Pasadena, San Marino, and Alhambra.

One budget detail worth knowing before you finalize plans: school facility fees apply to a residential addition only when it adds more than 500 square feet of assessable space. A garage, patio, covered walkway, or detached accessory structure does not count as assessable space. Our showroom in Fullerton carries full kitchen and bath displays and material samples, and the project manager who would run your job walks the house with you from the start.
