Skylight Installation & Repair in Pasadena, CA
Pasadena is defined by its architectural heritage — the Craftsman bungalows of Bungalow Heaven, the grand Spanish Colonial Revival homes of San Rafael Hills, and the mid-century modernist houses along the Arroyo Seco. Hollywood Skylights has been serving Pasadena homeowners for over 20 years, and we understand the specific considerations that come with working on architecturally significant residential properties.
Skylights for Pasadena’s Historic Homes
Craftsman bungalows in Pasadena typically have moderately pitched roofs with wood shingle or composition roofing, and interior layouts with center kitchens and bathrooms that get no window light. These are among our most common residential projects — a well-placed Velux deck-mounted unit over the kitchen or bathroom transforms these spaces without altering the exterior character of the home.
For properties in Pasadena’s Historic Preservation Overlay Zones, skylight installations may require design review approval. We can advise on which HPOZs have skylight guidelines and help you understand what’s permitted before you commit to a design.
Larger Pasadena Properties
The estates in San Rafael Hills, Prospect Park, and Linda Vista often have tile roofs, high ceilings, and architectural features that call for custom solutions. We fabricate custom curb assemblies for Spanish tile and flat tile roofs that integrate cleanly without visible penetrations from the ground, and we work alongside general contractors or architects when the skylight is part of a broader project.
Pasadena Building Department
Pasadena has its own building department — independent of LADBS — with specific roof and building characteristics common to this area. We handle permit applications, plan check, and inspection coordination through the Pasadena Building Department on your behalf.
