Rebuilding Altadena — Smarter, Stronger, Faster.

We’ve helped Altadena homeowners get their plans approved—fast, efficiently, and with care—since long before the fires.

As a local team, we work directly with LA County, disaster recovery centers, and hillside specialists to streamline the rebuild process.

What Makes Sagehaus Different in Altadena

With over a decade of experience designing, developing, and building homes in Altadena and throughout Southern California, we know how to design plans that look great — and get through the county fast.

We’ve been on job sites, inside building departments, and at the table with consultants. That means fewer delays, cleaner bids, and no design decisions that blow up your construction budget later.

Building in Altadena Since 2013

We’ve designed and built dozens of homes in the foothills—before the fires, during the fires, and will continue to after the fires.

Inside LA County’s Process

We know the fire rebuild system, and we coordinate directly with disaster recovery teams and county planners aside from having maneuvered through LA County’s planning and building departments for close to a decade.

Hillside, WUI, and Fuel Mod Experts

We design for your lot, your slope, and your fire zone correctly from day one to avoid costly corrections and wastage of time.

Trusted By Altadena Homeowners for Nearly a Decade

Before the fires, we had already helped families in Altadena design, build, and transform their homes — from the foothills to the flats.

These clients chose us for our knowledge of the area, our thoughtful approach, and the trust we earned throughout the process. Today, we bring that same care and expertise to every rebuild, remodel, and ground-up plan we touch.

ANNIE & JARED

We knew what we wanted in our home but we didn’t know how to get us there.

We wanted vaulted ceilings to counter the small space, lots of light, to keep our mountain view from the rear, and a special island that housed several appliances. They got it all and designed the home we dreamed of.

We did almost go with another group but they were based in Venice and Jared said “I don’t want to deal with someone who’s so far away, I want local people.” You know - I’m so glad he said that because I think it saved us a lot of headache and heartache and you can just tell that they love what they’re doing so that made us comfortable throughout the process.

ERIN & Micah

If I could say anything, I would just say that they make your project easier. From the beginning to the end, they’re with you. They never let you feel like you’re alone, you’re never out of communication with them, you know exactly where your project’s at, you know exactly where it’s headed.

They take pride in their projects. They can see the vision and put it together. We will work with them again and have recommended them to everyone since working with them.

Kellie H.

I was looking for a second home on my property to age in place in the future but to be able to rent out in the present and build towards my retirement. I had a budget and I had a hopeful timeline and that’s all I knew.

I spoke with lots of companies and had some plans created that never materialized for whatever reason. All these people said they could do what I wanted but when I spoke to the team here they opened my eyes!

They broke down real numbers and evaluated my rent for homes of different sizes so I could clearly see what made sense for me. They designed the coolest looking home too. Happy tenants equals less problems! I was going to build the wrong home and probably wouldn’t have retired as early as I now am. I really think these guys saved me a couple years of my life. Thank you!
