What Pasadena garages and gates are up against
Pasadena has the deepest stock of pre-war housing in the county, and the garages show it. Bungalow Heaven, Madison Heights and the Craftsman streets around Orange Grove are full of 1905 to 1930 detached garages with swing-out carriage doors, or with a sectional door squeezed into an opening that was framed for two hinged leaves. Headroom is minimal, side-room is minimal, and the framing is old-growth wood that does not take lag screws the way modern lumber does. Every job here starts by measuring what the opening will actually accept.
The city’s historic districts and landmark designations also mean a street-visible replacement door is a design question, not just a hardware one. Wood carriage-house doors, or steel doors with the right panel proportions and hardware, keep a home compliant and keep its value; a plain white steel door on a Greene & Greene-era bungalow does neither. We bring samples and photos of doors we have installed on comparable homes.
Iron gate restoration is the other half of Pasadena for us. The estates along Orange Grove, in Oak Knoll and San Rafael have decorative iron driveway gates that are fifty to a hundred years old, and the modern operator bolted to them is often the newest and weakest part. We rebuild hinges and pivots, treat rust at the ground line, and fit operators sized for the real weight of the leaf.
