before and after: Craftsman Before & After - Temple City, CA - 10/28/14 06:41 AM
This past summer I purchased a unique craftsman property in Temple City.  Near 2 of my favorite cities, Pasadena and Arcadia, Temple City has always been on my radar.  From the quiet tree-lined streets to the highly coveted school district, I knew it would be a great area to work in. Just short of being 90 years old, the property was in need of some serious TLC.  From foundation bolting and asbestos siding removal to all of the usual cosmetic finishes, no corner was left untouched.  The biggest hurdle we experienced with this project though was time.  In order to stay true to the craftsman style of the home, … (4 comments)

Getting a simple permit sign-off on a new heater turned into getting permits for numerous items, including fixes we didn't even do (the past homeowner did them years ago).  One of the most frustrating hiccups were the two front windows, that again we … (2 comments)

It was an absolute pleasure working with this seller. This was the home she grew up in and eventually inherited. Unfortunately, she inherited some bad tenants along with it. She wanted and needed out, with as little hassle as possible.
