Resolve landmark review before ordering exterior components
For a Pasadena renovation, check historic and landmark-district status before choosing new exterior windows, porch details or an addition. City guidance lists changes to windows, doors or other exterior features and additions among the work that can require a Certificate of Appropriateness. Establish the property’s status and scope early so product selection follows the design and review decisions.
Put repair and replacement options side by side. A usable modern interior and retained exterior features can be explored together before a construction scope is fixed.
Confirm the property and the visible work
Pasadena’s preservation guidance describes Certificate of Appropriateness review for changes affecting designated properties and districts. Ask staff about the actual address and proposal. Do not assume every Pasadena home has landmark status or that all work follows one review path.
Prepare product information while options are open
Photographs, proposed drawings and product information help explain window, porch or addition changes. Review repair alternatives before committing to custom replacements. Keep the accepted exterior scope aligned with the estimate and any later permit drawings.
