Following the wind-driven firestorms of 2025 that destroyed many homes in Altadena, rebuilding efforts are underway. While the average recovery time is estimated at three to five years, a new approach is proving effective. A local general contractor and a framing crew from San Diego demonstrated how prefabricated construction can accelerate the process by erecting a small house shell in just two days.
