the most trusted general contractor in Altadena
The homes in Altadena are something else. A lot of them were built in the twenties and thirties. Craftsman bungalows with original hardwood floors, built-in shelving, and layouts that newer construction just doesn’t replicate.
The people who own them tend to be fiercely protective of that character. They don’t want a flip renovation. They want something that honors what’s already there while actually working for a modern family.
What’s interesting about working up here is that the neighborhood draws a mix of long-timers and newer arrivals who specifically sought out a home with some history to it. Both groups invest seriously in their properties. Room additions that blend with the original architecture. Kitchen renovations that modernize the space without gutting its personality. ADUs in the backyard for rental income or extended family, on lots that often have real room to work with.
There’s also the practical piece. Altadena is unincorporated, which changes how permitting works. If you’ve never renovated up here before, that’s the kind of thing that trips people up. We’ve navigated it enough times that it’s not a surprise to us anymore.

We are the home Renovation specialists in Altadena
The homes in Altadena often have real history behind them. Working here means respecting what’s already there, whether that’s original woodwork in a 1920s Craftsman or the layout of a home that’s been in a family for two generations.
We don’t come in and strip the character out of a place. We work with it. We do kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, room additions, and ADU construction throughout Altadena.
The unincorporated status means permits work a little differently here than in the incorporated cities around it, and we know that process well. We’ve been through it enough times that we don’t waste your time figuring things out from scratch.
If you have an older home and you’re not sure what a renovation would involve, we’re happy to come take a look and give you a straight answer about what’s realistic. That’s usually the best place to start.
