About Maintenance & Upgrades in El Modena
El Modena is an old settlement on the east side of Orange around Chapman Avenue and Hewes Street, with tract housing from the 1950s through the 1970s and older cottages in its core. Some blocks remain unincorporated county, and original hardware is long past its life.
El Modena grew up around the crossing of Chapman Avenue and Hewes Street on the east side of Orange, settled by families of Mexican heritage in the early nineteenth century and by Quakers from 1883, and named after Modena in Italy. Much of it was annexed by the City of Orange in the 1960s and 1970s, but unincorporated county pockets remain, mainly east of El Modena High School, so two neighboring houses can sit under different building departments. We confirm the permit authority for each address.

What Customers Say About Our Maintenance & Upgrades in El Modena
Real reviews from El Modena and nearby Orange neighborhoods.
“We called from Old Towne Orange at 15:14 because the photo-eye wire was cut by a trimmer, and the door reversed every close. Old Towne Orange historic bungalows that want carriage-house faces. They spliced the photo-eye wire, remounted the eyes, and proved every close before leaving Old Towne Orange. Cars moved again.”
“Olive's mid-century houses with one-car openings. Then Santa Ana dust packed the nylon races at 17:36, and the door squealed under the bedroom. They packed new nylon rollers, cleaned the races, and the squeal under the bedroom stopped on this Olive visit. Quiet after ten.”
“Technician Mike called me 20 minutes before and arrived on time. He diagnosed and explained the problem and what are the different options I can choose from and he asked me to decide giving best value for money and longer life.”
Maintenance & Upgrades in El Modena - FAQs
It depends. Much of El Modena is in the City of Orange, but unincorporated county pockets remain, mainly east of the high school. The permit authority is confirmed for your address.

Permits go through City of Orange Building and Safety Services at 300 East Chapman Avenue, 714-744-7200, and the permit position is confirmed for your address. Widening an opening or altering a header is structural work that needs a permit.
