Pasadena Heritage maintains an extensive list of contractors, tradespeople, and consultants referred by members. For decades, our annually updated Referral List has been a good resource for individuals seeking qualified professionals to carry out a wide range of historic preservation-related services.
PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR SEARCH
We encourage you to use this resource but please remember that Pasadena Heritage does not take any responsibility for the work or credentials of those listed. We offer this service as a “member-to-member” exchange. We have worked directly with some of the businesses listed and do request references from members or local clients for all referral listees, but we do not guarantee any listee’s work.
Whenever you hire a professional to work on your property, you should take the appropriate steps, including verifying that the businesses have current licenses and insurance converge. It is always wise to get more than one estimate. Moreover, if your property is individually designated or located with a designated historic or landmark district, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be required for your project. If you know your building is historic, or if you want to know its status, we recommend consulting the City of Pasadena’s Design & Historic Preservation section of the Planning Department prior to commencing work. Call (626) 744-4009 to speak with a City Planner. Be sure to enquire what permits are required and who will be responsible for pulling them.
PLEASE JOIN OUR REFERRAL LIST
The Referral List is by no means comprehensive and we are always looking to our members for new referrals. Businesses not listed here may be just as qualified as those included. To recommend a contractor, tradesperson, or consultant, please call us at (626) 441-6333.
WE VALUE YOUR FEEDBACK
Have you previously retained someone appearing on our Referral List? Would you like to provide feedback? If so, we’d love to hear from you! Please call us at (626) 441-6333.
