Fire-Resilient Design

Fire resilience is built into every rebuild, from ember-resistant vents to Class A roofing and noncombustible exterior materials.

TALK TO A BUILD ADVISOR

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.

Why Your Rebuild Is Taking Longer Than It Should

And why the answer probably isn't the city. More than a year after the Palisades fire, the question homeowners keep asking is the same: Why is this taking so long? The assumption, shared by many residents, repeated in the press,…

Frequently asked questions

What will TJH do if the 12 month delivery guarantee is not met?

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.

Is TJH able to offer assistance in working with insurance companies (third party—that knows how to talk to adjusters)?

How will the relocation of utility easements from back to front work? What’s the timeline on movement?

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.

Can TJH assist in calculating the cost per square foot quote to rebuild my original house so I can provide it for my insurance?
