About Our Pasadena Services
Pasadena homeowners take pride in their properties, and many of the city's most beloved neighborhoods feature homes with original masonry chimneys dating back to the 1920s. Eco Grizzly provides complete chimney and fireplace services throughout Pasadena, including Old Town, South Pasadena, Altadena, San Marino, Sierra Madre, and the San Gabriel Valley. Our certified technicians understand the specific needs of Pasadena's Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial Revival homes, and mid-century modern residences.
Why Local Expertise Matters in Pasadena
Pasadena's combination of historic architecture and seismic activity means chimneys here face unique challenges. Unreinforced masonry from the early 20th century requires careful inspection for earthquake damage, mortar deterioration, and structural settling. Our team has extensive experience working on these systems and maintains the highest standard of preservation while meeting modern code compliance.
Home Types We Service in Pasadena
Craftsman bungalows with original brick chimneys, Spanish Colonial Revival homes with decorative chimney tops, mid-century modern residences with low-profile fireplace systems, and newer construction throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Each style demands a different approach, and our technicians are trained to handle them all.
Common Chimney Issues in Pasadena
Cracked mortar from seismic movement, deteriorated chimney crowns from sun exposure, spalling bricks on north-facing chimneys, creosote buildup in heavily used wood-burning fireplaces, failed gas valve assemblies in older gas fireplace systems, and missing or damaged chimney caps that allow raccoons and birds into flue systems.
Neighborhoods We Serve
We serve all Pasadena neighborhoods including Old Pasadena, Madison Heights, Bungalow Heaven, Linda Vista, Oak Knoll, and the Arroyo Seco corridor. We also cover South Pasadena, Altadena, San Marino, Sierra Madre, La Canada Flintridge, and surrounding San Gabriel Valley communities.

BeforeChimney & Fireplace
Electric Fireplace Installation
Southern California
This project involved removing an outdated fireplace unit, framing out the new opening to spec, running electrical, and installing a modern electric fireplace with a polished slab surround. The result is a clean, energy-efficient focal point for the living room.
BeforeRemodeling
Roof Installation
Southern California
Starting from the bare deck, our team installed synthetic underlayment across the full roof surface, followed by proper flashing at all penetrations and valleys. The final layer of architectural shingles was installed to manufacturer spec, giving the home a fresh look and full weather protection.
BeforeRemodeling
Room Addition Built
Southern California
This addition project expanded the home's living space with a fully permitted room addition. The work included concrete foundation, wood framing, roof tie-in, electrical and plumbing rough-in, insulation, drywall, paint, and exterior stucco to match the existing home. The end result blends with the original structure while adding significant square footage.
BeforeRemodeling
Roof Replacement
Southern California
The existing roof had reached the end of its lifespan with visible wear and multiple leak points. Our crew performed a complete tear-off, inspected the deck for damage, replaced compromised sheathing, installed ice and water shield at vulnerable areas, applied synthetic underlayment, and finished with new architectural shingles. The homeowner now has a roof built to last 30+ years.
BeforeRemodeling
Leak Repair and Mold Remediation
Southern California
A persistent roof leak caused water damage and mold growth in the ceiling and wall cavity. Our team identified and repaired the leak source, removed all affected drywall and insulation, treated the framing with antimicrobial solution, and rebuilt the area with new materials. Final paint and texture match the surrounding surfaces so the repair is invisible.
BeforeRemodeling
Attic Insulation Removal and Installation
Southern California
The existing attic insulation had settled and degraded over time, leaving large areas with minimal thermal protection. Our crew removed all old insulation down to the ceiling joists, cleaned the attic space, sealed air leaks around penetrations, and installed new blown-in insulation to current energy code requirements. The homeowner saw an immediate improvement in indoor comfort and lower utility bills.
