Rebuilding After a Wildfire: Why Time Matters
After a wildfire, every day you wait can mean higher prices and more stress. Construction costs go up. Permits get delayed. Insurance becomes a headache. That’s why taking the fast track rebuild route is so important. Monument Home Builders makes it easier for you by guiding the whole process from permits to final touches quickly and confidently.
Here’s Why Speed is Key
1. Prices Keep Climbing
The demand for building supplies and skilled workers skyrockets after wildfires. In Southern California, experts say we’ll need 10,000 to 20,000 truckloads of lumber just to rebuild. Lumber prices have already jumped by around 7% because of tariffs and supply issues. Waiting only makes it worse.
2. Permit Delays Can Stall Everything
Permit offices get flooded after a wildfire. In LA County, only about 200 of 800 rebuild permits were approved after nearly two months. Even with state help, red tape like changing maps, missing forms, and slow inspections still causes long hold-ups.
3. Not Enough Workers
Skilled contractors are stretched thin. Many are already booked up in burn areas. That means higher labor costs up to 30% more. The longer you wait, the harder it’ll be to get a good team on your project.
4. Insurance and Stress Pile Up
Temporary housing, underinsurance, and the emotional toll of uncertainty all add up fast. Many homeowners don’t even have full coverage for their rebuild. The longer it takes to start, the more pressure you’ll feel.
