From Concept to Creation

PERSONALIZED PALISADES DESIGN
We have a portfolio of home plans specifically designed to honor the character of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood and to fit its unique lot sizes. And all of these plans can be constructed in variety of elevations, exterior styles, and colors, resulting in a vast array of one-of-a-kind homes.
FINISHES THAT ELEVATE
Each of our homes features premium Wolf appliances for top-tier performance, elegant quartz countertops for style and durability, and rich wood flooring throughout. Our frameless, full-access cabinets are equipped with soft-close, dovetail drawers, combining modern design with exceptional craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions

This FAQ clears up misconceptions and addresses common concerns from permitting and timelines to insurance. As the #1 single-lot replacement homebuilder for Pacific Palisades residents, we’re here to bring clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward.

If TJH does not complete the construction of the home within the
guaranteed 12-month time period, TJH understands that the homeowner
will experience an inconvenience which is difficult to quantify.


To compensate the homeowner for their inconvenience and any costs
associated with this delay, there is a daily rate (described in the Rebuild
Contract) that will be paid to the homeowner for their inconvenience until the time that the home is completed.

TJH understands the challenges that homeowners are facing in working
with their insurance companies. We are currently exploring options for
providing assistance to our clients as they are working through insurance
questions and issues.

TJH is in contact with the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power
(LADWP) to ensure we have the latest and most up-to-date information on
the status of utility easements and connections. While temporary power has
generally been restored, the timing is not yet clear regarding the possibility
of relocating utilities from the backs of the lots to the fronts. TJH will
continue to stay on top of this very important topic.

TJH is dedicated to support our clients in whatever way we can with
insurance questions and issues. Unfortunately, we are not able to determine
the cost of rebuilding a homeowner’s original home.
