Old houses, narrow doors, real care
Pasadena's Craftsman homes were built before sectional sofas existed, and their doorways prove it. Narrow openings, tight stair turns and original woodwork that shows every scrape mean the crew works with door-jamb protectors and floor runners as default, not extras.
The city event calendar matters too. The first week of January closes Orange Grove Boulevard for the Rose Parade, and the street parking around it disappears for days. Moves near the route get scheduled around the closures, a local detail no national booking site knows to ask.
