What our satisfied clients are saying

Customers who trust us

Jenae G.
Highly recommend these guys. Building Altadena helped us get back into our home much faster than we expected. After the fire, we just wanted someone who knew the codes and could get the job done right. They are total pros, very straightforward, and the quality of the build is excellent.
Jimmy N.
Rebuilding after a total loss is an absolute headache but working with Building Altadena was the only easy part. They didn't just rebuild what we had; they actually improved the layout and used much better materials. They were on-site every day, kept the project moving, and handled all the tough inspections without issues. It’s a relief to work with a contractor that actually keeps their word on timelines and costs.
Nathan R.
Top notch professionals. If you are looking for a reliable company for a fire rebuild, call Building Altadena. They were very clear about the process from day one and didn't give us any runaround. The new house looks amazing and feels solid. It’s hard to find people you can trust with such a big project, but they really stepped up for us.
Brenda.
Great experience. Solid work and great communication. Building Altadena made our rebuild process a lot smoother than we thought it would be. If you want high-quality work and a team that actually answers the phone, these are your guys.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

“Like for like” means rebuilding the same size and layout as your previous home. Choosing this option allows you to preserve existing 5-foot setbacks and avoid school impact fees, which are approximately $5 per square foot. However, if you plan to build a larger home, don’t let the “like for like” concept stop you—what matters most is designing the home that’s right for you.

Start by calling HTA. We’ll walk you through the project, the
budget, working with your insurance, and—most importantly—the
design of your new home.

The process includes four main steps:
1. Design
2. Permitting
3. Construction
4. Move-in

All new homes will be required to include fire sprinklers and, in most cases,fire-rated exterior materials. These upgrades are part of modern building codes and offer significantly improved protection against future wildfires, helping to keep your home— and your family—safer.

Yes. Adding an ADU or a Second Unit (SB9) can be a smart way
to add value, generate rental income, or create a space for family.
We can help you explore additional options as part of your
rebuild.

Simply contact us through our website or email, and we’ll schedule a free consultation to understand your needs.

This is one of the most common questions—and also one of the
most difficult to answer without context. Site conditions, scope,
finishes, and design choices all affect cost.Be wary of anyone
who gives you a firm number without having a conversation first.
Because HTA is actively building in Altadena, we can share
historical numbers, but to give you a price you can trust, we need
to understand your goals and walk through the project details
together.

You can bring your own team, but HTA has a full team of
designers and engineers who understand the Altadena rebuild
process, local codes, and insurance requirements. Collaborating
early can save time and money.

Yes, but changes after construction starts may affect your
timeline and budget. We encourage clear design decisions up
front, but we’re flexible and will always work with you if changes
are needed.

Rebuilding requires permits from LA County. HTA manages the
permitting process for you, including plan submission,
corrections, and approvals—saving you the hassle of
coordinating with multiple departments.

We’ll review your insurance scope with you and help prioritize
your budget. If upgrades or additional work are needed, we’ll
discuss cost-effective solutions and financing options with our
lender partners.
