Rebuilding after the January 2025 Palisades Fire — or hardening an intact home against the next event. Halo Build Co installs Chapter 7A-compliant roofing, WUI-rated vents, and roof-mounted sprinkler defense systems throughout Pacific Palisades, Sunset Mesa, and the Rustic Canyon adjacency.
Free On-Site EstimateThe January 2025 Palisades Fire was the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles city history — over 6,000 structures lost across Pacific Palisades and adjacent neighborhoods, with damage extending from Sunset Mesa through Rustic Canyon to the edge of Brentwood. Nearly all of Pacific Palisades falls within CalFire's Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Chapter 7A applies to every re-roof and every rebuild. For the homeowners rebuilding, wildfire defense infrastructure is no longer optional — it's the condition of policy renewal and, increasingly, the condition of resale.
The January 2025 Palisades Fire was the deadliest and most destructive fire in LA city history — 6,000+ structures lost, 23 fatalities, and $50B+ in insured damage across Pacific Palisades and adjacent neighborhoods. Prior significant events include the 1961 Bel Air Fire (which reached the Palisades boundary) and multiple smaller brush fires from Topanga State Park adjacency.
Every wildfire service listed on our main pages is available throughout Pacific Palisades — pricing includes site visit, permits, and disposal.
Most Pacific Palisades hillside and canyon properties are inside CalFire's Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The current CalFire Fire Hazard Severity Zone Viewer shows parcel-level VHFHSZ status. Halo Build Co pulls the current CalFire map for your Pacific Palisades parcel as part of every free on-site estimate — no obligation.
Chapter 7A applies to every new residential build and every major remodel in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Simple repairs typically don't trigger compliance, but re-roofing, full siding replacement, window replacement above ~50% of wall area, and deck rebuilds all trigger Chapter 7A. For most Pacific Palisades hillside properties, any substantive work involves Chapter 7A compliance.
Insurance carriers in Pacific Palisades have tightened dramatically since 2020 — many are non-renewing VHFHSZ policies without proof of wildfire hardening. Documented Chapter 7A compliance plus active sprinkler defense is increasingly the condition of policy retention, and often the difference between keeping your existing carrier and being forced onto the California FAIR Plan at 2-4× the annual cost. Halo Build Co provides manufacturer certifications and NFPA documentation for insurance submission.
A standard Chapter 7A re-roof plus WUI vent replacement in Pacific Palisades typically takes 5-10 working days depending on roof size and complexity. Adding a roof-mounted sprinkler defense system adds 2-4 days for a basic municipal-pressure install, 4-7 days for a pumped or storage-tank system. Plan-check for Chapter 7A projects in the Pacific Palisades jurisdiction typically takes 3-6 weeks in advance of construction.
