Why Pasadena homeowners pick Red Stag
Three reasons our outdoor carpentry work is different in Pasadena.
Interior-grade finish, outdoor-rated.
Hand-sanded, hand-finished, hidden joinery throughout. Pergolas, planter walls, privacy screens, and bespoke millwork built to interior standards but engineered for outdoor exposure.
Coordinated with your landscape.
Carpentry projects are usually one element of a larger yard build. We coordinate with your landscape architect, lighting designer, and irrigation contractor to make the build sequence work.
Bespoke, not catalog.
Every project is designed from a sketch — proportions, material, joinery, finish all sized to the specific space. No prefab kits, no cookie-cutter pergola assemblies.

Architectural-history-rich. Bungalow Heaven, Madison Heights, and Oak Knoll for restored craftsman + traditional; San Rafael for hillside contemporary. That changes what a outdoor carpentry project looks like — both in spec and in process.
