Bringing families back to Altadena.

Custom Altadena rebuilds are quoting $450–$750 per square foot. The average estimated structure replacement cost in Altadena is $574,000, against a median pre-fire home value of $1.3 million.

That gap is why 19% of Eaton-area homeowners expect insurance to cover less than half their rebuild, and why 82% are uncertain they can cover what's left.

A Hapi rebuild is engineered to land dramatically lower.

Scott Saturday, Hapi Homes Altadena rebuild partner

Scott Saturday, grew up around real estate and spent his college summers framing houses, so the craft of a well built home is something he knows very well. His career has lived where real estate meets technology: leadership at Zillow and Compass, and founding and exiting his own startups along the way.

He's also lived the homeowner journey himself, as a Realtor, parent, investor, and the guy who once converted an office into an ADU and lived in 650 square feet for a year. That sharpened his read on what actually matters once you move in: financing, sequencing, layout, daily comfort.

Scott will personally walk you through your free feasibility plan.

Why Hapi Homes

One smarterrebuild.

No single rebuild option in Altadena solves all three: speed, cost, and fire resilience. Hapi Homes was engineered to.

One smarter rebuild.

Speed, cost, and fire resilience engineered together — so you don’t have to trade one away for the others when you rebuild in Altadena.

More affordable.

Factory precision and a clearer scope keep costs tight — helping more of your settlement go into the home you actually want to live in.

Non-combustible bones.

A steel structure built for wildfire resilience — stronger bones that give you more confidence in the next chapter of homeownership.

Faster.

Walls, floors and roof are precision-cut in our factory. Your licensed contractor assembles them on your foundation in as little as two weeks to weather-tight. Design, permits, manufacturing and build move in months, not years.

Not modular.

Custom-planned for your lot and settlement — designed and engineered for your site, then built with precision instead of a one-size box.

Closing the gap

Most Altadena homeowners are underinsured. A lower build cost closes part of that gap. These close the rest, and we'll help you work through them in your lot report:

SBA disaster loans

Up to $500,000 for real estate replacement, rates from 2.813%, terms up to 30 years.

What Altadena homeowners say

We were $280,000 short of what our GC quoted us. The Hapi team didn't just hand us a price, they walked through our insurance binder line by line and showed us how to close the gap. Six months later, we're picking finishes."
