Pacific Palisades & LA Fire Rebuild Contractor
Rebuilding What Matters Most — With the Craftsmanship Los Angeles Has Trusted Since 1953
The 2025 wildfires devastated neighborhoods across the Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and the greater Los Angeles area. For homeowners facing the long road back, choosing the right builder is one of the most consequential decisions you’ll make.
Scanlon Construction has been rebuilding Los Angeles’s finest homes for over 70 years. We understand this community, we know this terrain, and we have the experience to navigate the complex permitting, insurance, and construction process that fire rebuilds require.
Why Pacific Palisades Homeowners Choose Scanlon Construction
Rebuilding after a wildfire is not like a typical renovation project. It involves working with insurance adjusters, navigating California fire-resilient building codes, coordinating with architects and structural engineers, and managing a process that can span years. You need a builder who has done this before — and who will still be here when the job is done.

Our Fire Rebuild & Restoration Services
Whether you are rebuilding from the foundation up or restoring a partially damaged structure, Scanlon Construction provides complete services from pre-construction through final walkthrough.
Custom Fire Rebuild — New Construction
For homes that sustained a total loss, we work with your architect (or connect you with our trusted partners) to design and build a new home that meets or exceeds current California building standards, including fire-resilient materials and updated WUI (Wildland Urban Interface) code requirements.
Partial Rebuild & Structural Restoration
For homes with partial damage, our team assesses existing structures, coordinates with structural engineers, and rebuilds seamlessly — matching materials, finishes, and architectural character so the restored sections are indistinguishable from the original.
Insurance Documentation & Scope of Work
We provide detailed written scopes of work and line-item estimates designed to work directly with your insurance adjuster. We can also review existing insurance estimates to ensure they are complete and accurate.
Design-Build Services
For homeowners who want a single point of accountability, our design-build approach brings architectural and construction expertise under one roof, streamlining decisions and eliminating the friction between designer and builder.
What to Expect: The Fire Rebuild Process
Rebuilding after a wildfire involves more steps than a typical construction project. Here is a high-level overview of what Scanlon Construction guides you through:
Consultation & Site Assessment
We begin with a no-obligation site visit to assess the scope of loss, review your insurance documentation, and discuss your goals. We explain the full rebuild process and timeline so you can plan accordingly.
Insurance Coordination
We prepare a detailed scope of work and estimate that aligns with your insurance policy. If needed, we work with your public adjuster or attorney to ensure your claim fully reflects the cost of quality reconstruction.
Architecture & Design
We work alongside your architect or, if needed, connect you with trusted architectural partners. For design-build projects, we manage the full design and permitting process in-house
Permitting
Los Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles have implemented streamlined permitting processes for fire rebuild projects. We handle all permit applications and manage the approval process, including any required fire-safe design reviews.
Construction
Our project managers oversee every phase of construction. You receive regular progress updates, photos, and access to our remote monitoring program. We build to the highest standards — the same level of craft we bring to every luxury project in our portfolio.
Final Walkthrough & Completion
Before we hand over your keys, we conduct a detailed final inspection and walkthrough to ensure every element meets your expectations and our standards.
We Know Pacific Palisades

We understand the unique architectural character of Palisades homes, the steep terrain, and the community standards that make this one of Los Angeles's most distinctive neighborhoods.We also know what it takes to rebuild here responsibly — honoring the original character of a home while bringing it up to the safety and sustainability standards that protect families for the next generation.
