A Proven Plan to Rebuild with Confidence
Rebuilding after a fire is an overwhelming journey—but you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether or not you choose Williams Rebuild as your contractor, we’ve created a step-by-step playbook to guide you through the process. This proven approach is built on decades of experience, including restoring homes lost in the Thomas Fire and constructing over 2,000 homes across Los Angeles County.
We’ve simplified the path forward into four critical steps—helping you navigate insurance, secure temporary housing, and find the right builder to get you back home. With the latest fire-resistant construction methods and a clear process, you can rebuild stronger and safer than before.
When you're ready to rebuild we have an easy-to-use process
ONE
Identify and Catalog the Loss
Step 1: Define What Was Lost
Before moving forward, clearly document everything you’ve lost—both in home structure and personal belongings. This step not only helps you assess your needs but also sets the foundation for insurance claims and planning your rebuild. Understanding the scope of your loss is crucial to envisioning your new home and making informed decisions.
- Work with your adjuster to certify your home as a “total loss”.
- Identify additional structures and improvements beyond the home.
- Create organized schedule of personal contents lost (We can help).
TWO
Get Clear on Available Resources / Coverage
Step 2: Understand Your Resources
Knowing your insurance policy inside and out is vital. Understand what your coverage includes and determine if you’ll need additional financial resources. Some families may have enough coverage, while others may face gaps. Having clarity on your budget ensures you can plan realistically for your rebuild.
- Understand all available coverages within your policy and their limits.
- Ensure you have the full scope of your available insurance proceeds before spending any money on starting the rebuild process.
THREE
Establish Steady and Secure Temporary Housing
Step 3: Secure a Stable Living Situation
Finding a temporary but stable place to live is essential. Recovery and rebuilding take time, and with widespread losses in the community, securing housing early will help reduce stress. Prioritizing stability for your family ensures a smoother process as you navigate rebuilding.
- Alleviate the urgency and stress of the rebuild by identifying reliable temporary housing.
- Factor temporary housing in the overall budget.
FOUR
Qualify the Right Builder Partner
Step 4: Find the Right Rebuilding Partner
Choosing an experienced builder who can guide you through the entire process is critical. Rebuilding is complex, and working with a trusted partner who understands modern fire-resistant construction standards will make all the difference. The right team ensures a safer, more resilient home designed to withstand future wildfires.
- One-stop building partner – avoid having to manage 50+ subcontractors on your own.
- Licensed, local builder who understands regional permitting requirements.
- Team that can scale to larger needs and demands of the region.
