Skylight Installation & Repair in Altadena, CA

Altadena occupies the foothills above Pasadena — an unincorporated community with a mix of Craftsman bungalows, mid-century ranch homes, and hillside properties climbing toward the San Gabriel Mountains. The neighborhood has a distinctive character: older, well-maintained residential streets with large lots and mature tree canopy. Hollywood Skylights has served Altadena homeowners for over 20 years.

Altadena’s Housing Stock and Roof Types

The flat streets of lower Altadena — Lincoln, Mariposa, and the avenues off Lake — have a lot of Craftsman and 1940s construction with moderately pitched roofs. These homes often have interior kitchens and bathrooms that are chronically dark, and skylights are frequently the best solution. We install Velux deck-mounted units on composition shingle roofs and curb-mounted units on flat-section additions common to these properties.

The hillside streets above Altadena Drive — Crescent, Loma Alta, Fern — have steeper pitches and more varied construction, including some older wood-shake roofs that require careful flashing detailing. We assess each roof individually and price accordingly.

LA County Jurisdiction

Altadena is unincorporated LA County, so permits go through LA County Building and Safety rather than a city building department. We handle LA County permits routinely and know the County’s plan check requirements for residential skylight installations.

Fire Hazard Considerations

Much of upper Altadena is in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone — particularly relevant in the aftermath of the 2025 Eaton Fire. Post-fire rebuilds have specific glazing and material requirements we’re well-versed in. We can advise on compliant skylight specifications for properties in the fire zone and help you understand what your rebuild permit will require.

If your Altadena home was affected by the January 2025 fires, we are actively working on rebuild projects in the area. Learn about our fire rebuild support and special consideration for homeowners who are rebuilding.
