Rebuilding after a fire, with an experienced builder.

After a fire, families face insurance adjusters, debris removal, permits, new code requirements and dozens of contractor bids, all while living somewhere temporary. A builder who has done it before makes every one of those steps easier.

For example, one Ojai rebuild after the Thomas Fire chose to build larger: the home grew from 1,600 to 2,400 square feet with a new three-car garage. The original slab was kept where it could be saved and new sections tied in, the garage pad was over-excavated and compaction-tested, the electrical service was relocated closer to the utility pole, and the gas line was upsized for the larger home and the water line for a new fire sprinkler system.

What a rebuild contractor should help with

Reviewing what can be saved, such as foundations and slabs; building an itemized estimate that works with your insurance claim; coordinating design, engineering and permits, including the wildfire-resistant construction requirements that apply in fire hazard areas; and managing construction through final. See our fire rebuild guide for the steps and the state rule that can protect your property taxes.
