Skip to content You’ve already fought the fire and the insurance company. We help you rebuild a safe, modern home without having to fight your contractor, too.
Most people rebuild only once in their lives. We do this every day, and we treat your home like it’s our own.
The same family-owned team behind Go ADU has completed dozens of projects in strict LA jurisdictions, tight lots, hillside codes, and wildfire zones. We know how to rebuild safely where fire once burned.
If you’re working with an insurance payout, every dollar counts. We build a clear scope around your real budget, not wishful thinking, and help you make smart trade-offs so you don’t run out of money mid-build.
Permits, plan check, HOA approvals, inspectors, engineers, we manage it all. You shouldn’t have to become a construction expert just to get your life back.
From the first site walk to the day you move back in, we keep the path simple and transparent.
We stand on your property with you, listen to your story, review your insurance budget, and talk through what it will realistically take to rebuild stronger.
Our team creates a practical, beautiful plan that matches your lifestyle and your numbers. We show you where to save and where to invest so the house you want stays within the funds you have.
We handle wildfire and hillside requirements, city plan check, HOA feedback, and inspections. You get clear updates instead of confusing letters and missed deadlines.
We build to high safety standards, walk every room with you before move-in, and stay available afterward for questions and warranty support.
You lost routines, memories, and a sense of normal. A good rebuild isn’t just about square footage, it’s about giving your family a safe place to land again. We help you design a home that feels familiar and hopeful at the same time, while protecting your budget and your peace of mind.
The same trusted team that built LA’s go-to ADU brand is now rebuilding full homes after wildfire.

Every rebuild has a story. Our job is to honor what was lost while building something safer, smarter, and better suited for the way you live now.
Replaced a fire-damaged cottage with a modern, code-compliant home that still fits the character of the street.
Guided a family from insurance payout to move-in, adding fire-resistant materials and a layout that takes advantage of coastal light.
Rebuilt the primary home and added an ADU so parents could move back while also creating long-term flexibility for extended family.
Restored damaged rooms, updated systems to current code, and used the opportunity to improve layout and storage throughout the house.
You don’t need another maze of unanswered questions. Here’s how we keep things simple.
Share your insurance numbers, photos, and any reports you have. We’ll give you an honest take on what’s possible before you spend a dime.
We align your wish list with your actual budget, create a clear scope, and present a detailed proposal with no hidden line items.
We handle city, county, and HOA approvals while building a realistic schedule so you know when you can expect to move home.
We build, keep you updated each week, walk the home with you before final sign-off, and stand behind our work long after you move in.
“We had a fixed insurance payout and were terrified of running out of money halfway through. Gil walked us through every decision, kept us on budget, and handled all the permits and inspections. Moving back in felt like getting our life back.”
After a fire, you’re tired, of paperwork, of temporary housing, of fighting for every small win. The last thing you need is a contractor who treats you like a number or uses your situation as a chance to upsell.
Not sure where to start? Our short guides walk you through insurance budgets, working with adjusters, rebuild timelines, and what to look for in a contractor, so you can ask better questions and avoid costly mistakes.
Download a simple, one-page checklist that helps you organize documents, clarify your priorities, and prepare for conversations with any builder, not just us.
If you’re working with a fixed insurance payout and don’t want to navigate permits and contractors alone, we’d be honored to walk the lot with you and see how we can help.
Vaisman Construction is a Los Angeles custom home builder that also specializes in wildfire home rebuilds for families rebuilding in Altadena and Pacific Palisades. If your home was lost or heavily damaged, we help you rebuild a full, code-compliant home on your existing lot, using a clear plan that protects your budget. We also build custom homes outside of fire loss situations, but the “fixed budget, high stakes” rebuild process is a big part of what we do right now.
After a wildfire, it is smart to be cautious. Vaisman Construction leads with transparency, written scopes, milestone payments, and clear communication. You get real answers about cost early, and you are not pressured into a contract. That is how we reduce risk for homeowners who already have enough stress.
Yes, that is a core part of post-fire rebuilds. We understand insurance-driven rebuilds, including scopes of work and working alongside adjusters. We help you align design and construction decisions with a realistic budget so you do not burn through your payout on surprises.
Start with a Rebuild Consultation and Site Walk. We review your situation, walk your lot, and give you straight answers about feasibility, likely timelines, and budget ranges. You should leave that first step with clarity, not more confusion.
Yes. We help you through the permit maze, planning, building and safety, hillside requirements, and fire-related rules so you are not stuck doing it alone. We coordinate with the right engineers, architects, and inspectors and keep you updated on what is happening next.
Yes. With our design and engineering partners, we plan a safer, fire-resilient home that fits your family and your lot. That can include fire-resistant materials and smarter site planning, while still delivering a home that feels like yours.
We use a “no-nightmare builder” approach: clear scopes, written allowances, and documented change orders. Payments are milestone-based, and we avoid large upfront deposits that put your money at risk. If something changes, you see it in writing before you agree.
Timelines depend on approvals, plan review, inspections, and the complexity of your build. What we control is the process: clear milestones, proactive communication, and early planning that reduces delays. If you want a starting point, request the Wildfire Rebuild Cost and Timeline Guide.
Yes, that is the point of the site walk. We look at access, lot conditions, code requirements, and what is realistic for your budget and timeline. You get clarity before making big decisions, especially when you are working with a once-in-a-lifetime insurance payout.
We run the project with clear milestones and weekly updates. We communicate progress, issues, and next steps so you are not guessing. The goal is for you to focus on your family while we handle the heavy lifting, all the way through final inspection and move-in.
