Village Rebuild

community redevelopment services

led by those from the community seeking to preserve it

Who We Are

Village Rebuild was formed by two local founders with over 13 years of experience as a mission-driven, full-service, project management company specifically designed to help homeowners affected by the Palisades Fire. We provide hands-on assistance at every stage of the rebuilding process - from insurance claims and financing to architectural design, construction, and administration - in a manner consistent with the values of the Palisades community.

This mission is deeply personal to us. Having lost three homes in the fire, we are fighting the same fight alongside you. Rebuilding is complex, but by coming together as a collective, we can secure volume-based cost savings, streamline the process, and connect homeowners with a trusted network of local professionals.

Born and raised in the Palisades, we are committed to preserving the integrity of our community. In a landscape where outside firms see only economic opportunity, we see home - and we’re here to help rebuild it, together.
