Altadena Custom Home + Eaton Fire Rebuild 2026 | CSLB
Altadena custom home work in 2026 is dominated by Eaton Fire rebuilds. Families who lost homes on January 7-8, 2025 are designing what comes next - some rebuilding what they had, some designing what they always wanted, all of them building to Chapter 7A VHFHSZ standards on an LA County rebuild permit. NPLD has an active Eaton Fire rebuild track record. We design Craftsman, modern, and modern-Craftsman-hybrid programs at $320 to $720 per square foot all-in. CSLB #1105249, architectural design since 2016, 200+ LA builds.
