Does Enhaus build hillside homes in Altadena? How long does it take? 

• Yes. We specialize in hillside construction throughout Altadena and surrounding areas. Depending on site access, permitting, and design complexity, a hillside project typically takes 18–24 months from start to finish.

What services does Enhaus offer to Altadena homeowners?

• Enhaus is a full-service residential design-build firm. We manage architectural design, permitting, structural engineering, materials sourcing, and in-house construction—all under one roof. Whether you’re rebuilding after a wildfire or reimagining your family home, we simplify the process from concept to keys.

Do you offer just construction, or design too?

• We offer both. Enhaus integrates design and construction to eliminate handoff delays and miscommunication. Our in-house design team works closely with our build leads to ensure feasibility, cost control, and cohesive project flow.

Is an architect required for a home design in Altadena?

• For most single-family homes under two stories in California, including those in Altadena, a licensed architect is not required. Our experienced team handles residential design while meeting all code and permitting requirements.

How do I fireproof my home in Altadena?

• We help homeowners incorporate fire-resistant upgrades like Class A roofing, ignition-resistant siding, ember-safe vents, and insulated windows. Our team is familiar with LA County’s Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) standards and can guide you through compliance, especially if you’re rebuilding in a fire-affected zone.

How long does construction take in Altadena?

• It depends on your lot and scope. A full-home renovation or new build on a flat Altadena lot may take 8–12 months. Hillside or fire rebuilds often require more permitting and site prep, taking 18–24 months.

What makes Enhaus experts in value engineering for Altadena projects?

• Our team’s background in engineering and commercial construction gives us an edge. We analyze every design for smarter material use, efficient systems, and buildable detailing—helping Altadena clients stretch their budget without compromising design integrity.

What’s included in your estimate?

• Unlike many contractors, we include real costs up front: permit fees, utility upgrades, consultants, and even contingencies. That transparency helps Altadena homeowners avoid budget surprises mid-project.

Does Enhaus reuse home designs?

• No. Every home we design is custom to the lot, lifestyle, and long-term goals of each Altadena client. We never recycle floorplans or take a cookie-cutter approach.

How often do clients hear from you during a project?

• We prioritize communication. Altadena clients receive regular updates throughout each design and construction phase. We’re available for questions anytime, and you’ll always know who to contact.
