Chimney service built around Pasadena homes
Pasadena has arguably the finest concentration of Craftsman architecture in the country, and those homes have clinker brick chimneys and tile-faced hearths that deserve restoration rather than replacement.
Bungalow Heaven and the Arroyo have original 1900s to 1920s masonry — clinker brick, arroyo stone and Batchelder tile surrounds that must be protected during any work. Altadena-adjacent foothill homes face direct wildfire exposure. Newer condos near Old Pasadena run gas direct-vent appliances.
The San Gabriel foothills bring wind events and ember exposure every fall, plus occasional heavy rain that overwhelms old crowns. Historic preservation review applies to landmark districts, so we match materials and document conditions carefully.
