Why Choose TJH
Over thirty families are actively rebuilding in the Palisades with TJH right now — more than any other builder in the neighborhood. One team, one process, one accountable partner from first conversation to final walkthrough.

Permitting Approvals
The city is already familiar with our Palisades-specific plans, which helps expedite approvals. We recently had one approved in just 40 days.

Fire-Conscious Design
We incorporate fire-conscious design features into every rebuild, from ember-resistant vents to Class A roofing and noncombustible exterior materials.

All-Inclusive Process
From architectural designs to final finishes, our in-house team provides complete oversight of every step — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Guaranteed Price & Timeline
Your price is locked from day one and your home will be ready in 12 months. If we miss the deadline, you’re compensated. It’s written into the contract.
A Process Built Around You
Every rebuild begins with a conversation and ends with keys in hand. In between, you’ll have one dedicated team, a locked-in price, and a timeline you can count on.
Tell Us About Your Home
We begin by understanding your lot, your vision, and your goals. No obligation — just a clear picture of what’s possible and what it will take to get there.
Choose Your Plan
Select your home design and confirm your guaranteed price and timeline. Once you sign, those numbers don’t change. That’s a promise, not a policy.
Watch It Take Shape
Permits, construction, materials, trades — all managed by our in-house team. You stay informed at every stage without having to chase anyone for answers.
Welcome Home
Final walkthrough complete, every detail accounted for, keys in hand — within the timeline we guaranteed from day one.
Safety, Quality, and peace of Mind
Fire-Resilient Design
Fire resilience is built into every rebuild, from ember-resistant vents to Class A roofing and noncombustible exterior materials.

Built for Coastal + Canyon Conditions
Every Palisades rebuild is thoughtfully designed for its environment. From ember-resistant venting systems to tempered glazing and protected roof assemblies, our homes are constructed to meet or exceed current fire and Wildland-Urban Interface standards – without compromising architectural integrity.

Noncombustible & Class A Materials
Durability begins with smart material selection. We incorporate Class A roofing systems, noncombustible exterior cladding, and ignition-resistant detailing that strengthens the home’s outer shell. These elements work together to create a resilient structure designed for long-term performance in high-risk areas.

Defensible Space
by Design
Resilience extends beyond the walls of the home. Site planning, hardscape transitions, and low-fuel landscaping strategies are integrated early in the process to support defensible space guidelines while maintaining the effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that defines Pacific Palisades living.
I was really excited that I could personalize certain aspects of the home. The entire homebuilding process was simple and Thomas James Homes completed our home on schedule and within budget.
