Altadena Interior Design + Eaton Fire Rebuild 2026
Altadena interior work in 2026 splits between two very different jobs - careful restoration of a Craftsman bungalow that wasn't touched by the Eaton Fire, and full interior buildouts on homes that are being rebuilt after the fire on the original lot. We do both. NPLD has an active Eaton Fire rebuild track record, works under LA County (unincorporated) permitting, knows the Altadena Craftsman vocabulary cold, and designs to the new Chapter 7A VHFHSZ requirements where applicable. CSLB #1105249, architectural design since 2016, 200+ LA builds. Real Altadena interior cost band $60K to $220K.
