Fix Brothers is a licensed and insured general contractor serving Pasadena, about 40 minutes from our shop. Pasadena projects are restoration-minded: Craftsman kitchen and bath remodels that keep original character, careful whole-home renovations in historic districts, and modern condo updates downtown, permitted through the City of Pasadena.
Pasadena is east of the Valley, and it is one of the most architecturally rich areas we serve. From Craftsman bungalows in Bungalow Heaven to grand homes in the historic districts and newer condos downtown, Pasadena rewards a careful hand. We take extra care here to preserve the character that makes these homes special.
Need something smaller? Our in-house handyman crew handles repairs, installs and punch-list work in Pasadena too, with the same fixed written pricing and the same two brothers running the job.
Pasadena has a large stock of historic Craftsman and period homes, which means original woodwork, plaster, and windows that need repair rather than replacement, and updates that respect historic-district guidelines. We do sensitive restoration-style carpentry, plaster and trim repair, and system upgrades hidden neatly within old walls. The downtown condos and newer builds bring more standard remodel and repair work on a modern footing.
Pasadena runs its own building department with its own plan-check timelines and design rules, so we confirm requirements before the estimate is signed and pull every permit under our own license.
The City of Pasadena's Planning & Community Development Department issues building permits in Pasadena, not LADBS. Homes in landmark districts such as Bungalow Heaven, and individually designated historic properties, generally need design or historic review before exterior changes. Some homes with a Pasadena mailing address, in areas like Altadena or East Pasadena, are unincorporated and permit through LA County instead, so we confirm the jurisdiction by parcel.
Yes. Our in-house crew handles trim and woodwork repair, plaster patching, window reconditioning, fixture installs and painting in Pasadena, and it's the same crew that runs our remodels. Every job starts with a fixed written estimate. Small repairs are a good way to save original details before they fail, and we batch items into planned visits since Pasadena is across the Valley from our shop.
Yes. We keep original woodwork, built-ins and windows where they're sound, route new plumbing and wiring through hidden paths, and choose finishes that suit the period. Where replacement isn't necessary, refinishing can save original fixtures; see our kitchen sink and bathtub refinishing in Pasadena. Our bathroom remodeling page covers full remodels.
We give a free, fixed, written estimate after an on-site visit, including any historic or design review steps the city requires for your property. Fix Brothers is licensed and insured, we pull permits under our own license, and we coordinate Pasadena inspections. Scope, materials and schedule are all in writing, and any change is priced and approved by you before work continues.
