5 Mistakes to Avoid When Rebuilding After a Fire in Altadena

Rebuilding a home in Altadena after a fire can be overwhelming. Avoid these common mistakes:

1.  Hiring Unlicensed Contractors


Always check licenses and insurance—disaster often attracts scammers.

2. Skipping the Structural Engineer

Fire can compromise foundations and framing. Get a full inspection.

3. Ignoring Local Fire Codes

Altadena has its own fire-risk mitigation laws. Stay compliant from day one.

4. Rushing the Design

You’re not just replacing—you’re improving. Take the time to plan a smarter layout.
