Losing a home to a fire is overwhelming, from insurance and city requirements to planning, design, and imagining what “home” will look like again. At Dwell Homes, we believe no family should navigate this alone. We’ve supported rebuilds across Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Ventura, Pasadena, Altadena, and beyond, providing clarity, structure, and hands-on guidance through every phase.
Below is a streamlined look at how we help families rebuild confidently and efficiently.
1. Immediate Guidance After the Fire
We help you understand where to begin, from insurance next steps and required documentation to site assessments, timelines, and budgets. Our goal is to bring clarity during the most overwhelming stage.
2. Insurance Support & Scope Validation
Our team helps review your policy, validate scope and costs, prepare builder documentation, communicate with adjusters, and advise on what’s covered so you receive a fair and supported settlement.
3. Architectural Planning & Design
We lead on architectural design, site planning, engineering, surveys, energy compliance, and fire-resistant strategies to balance your vision with what’s feasible for your property.
4. Permitting & City Coordination
We manage submittals, corrections, LADBS communication, fire-zone requirements, utilities, and inspections to streamline approvals and remove the burden from you.
5. Interior Design & Material Selections
Our design team guides you through space planning, cabinetry, materials, lighting, millwork, exterior finishes, and hardscape — ensuring your rebuild is cohesive, functional, and personal.
6. Construction & Project Management
As a design-build team, we oversee demolition, framing, MEP, inspections, updates, cost tracking, and quality control, while keeping you informed at every step of the way.
7. Final Walkthrough & Move-In
We complete final adjustments, handle utilities, schedule inspections, and prepare your home for a smooth, stress-free move-in.
8. Continued Support
After completion, we’re here for warranty needs, maintenance guidance, future upgrades, and long-term property planning.
You Don’t Have to Rebuild Alone
Every family and every rebuild is unique. Whether you need full-service support or help with a few phases, Dwell Homes is committed to making the process clear and manageable. If you or someone you know has been affected by the fires, we’re here to walk the property, answer questions, and help plan the next steps.
