South Pasadena, San Marino, Altadena and Alhambra all sit near Pasadena, and a home addition in any of them follows one plan of work. The first visit covers the lot, the setbacks and the family member who will use the new room. Drawings and engineering come next, then plan check with the office that serves the address, then framing, roofing and finish work, all priced in one written quote.

Ember-resistant choices for a Pasadena addition

Parts of Pasadena sit in mapped fire hazard zones, so a lot there may face ember-resistance rules on new exterior walls, roofing and openings. We look up the parcel while the design is still on paper. If it falls inside a mapped area, the plans call out vents with fine metal mesh, a fire-rated roof covering, noncombustible siding near the ground and tempered glass in the new windows. Boxed eaves leave embers fewer gaps to settle in. Because those items are drawn and priced up front, the inspector finds on site what was approved in plan check.

Which office reviews the plans

Only the reviewing office changes from one nearby address to the next. A Pasadena lot is checked by the City of Pasadena. Altadena is unincorporated, so Los Angeles County handles plan review and inspections there. Eagle Rock is part of the City of Los Angeles and goes to LADBS. San Gabriel, San Marino, South Pasadena and Alhambra are cities with their own building departments. Whichever office it is, we prepare the set, answer its corrections and tell you ahead of time when an inspector needs to come inside.
