ALTADENA · EATON FIRE REBUILD
European frameless kitchens for families rebuilding after the Eaton Fire: an itemized proposal your adjuster can read, pricing held while your house goes up, and a studio in the San Gabriel Valley.
01 / THE REBUILD
A rebuild is not a remodel. We work differently for it.
Families rebuilding after the Eaton Fire arrive at every stage, from a cleared lot to a framed house, and ask us the same four things. Here is how we answer them.
“My insurer needs line items, not a lump sum.”
Every rebuild proposal is itemized by cabinet, panel, surface and installation, with spec sheets attached, in the format adjusters and lenders ask for.
“My timeline keeps moving.”
Your design and pricing are locked at signing and held for 12 months. We measure on site only after drywall, so nothing is built to a plan that changed.
“I have made a thousand decisions already.”
Instead of a catalog, your designer brings three edited palettes that work with your architect’s drawings. You choose one. We take it from there.
“One more trade to coordinate.”
We work directly with your general contractor and architect, sequencing delivery and installation around their schedule, before countertops and appliances.
02 / OUR PROCESS, ON A REBUILD SCHEDULE
When the kitchen happens, step by step.
Most rebuilding families ask the same first question: when should I start on the kitchen? Earlier than you think. The design can be finished while the house is still framing.
01 /
ANY TIME, EVEN BEFORE PERMITS
Consultation
Bring your architect’s plans, photos of the kitchen you had, or just how you cooked in it. We learn how you live so every decision that follows is shaped around you.
02 /
DURING FRAMING
Design and itemized proposal
A complete design with materials, finishes and configurations, so you see exactly how the kitchen will look before anything is made, plus the line-item proposal your insurer or lender needs.
03 /
AFTER DRYWALL
Confirm measure
We visit the site and verify every dimension against the finished walls. No assumptions, no surprises, nothing cut to a drawing.
04 /
SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS IN OUR WORKSHOP
Manufacture
Each cabinet, panel and surface is precision-cut, edged and assembled in our City of Industry workshop with premium materials from Egger, Alvic and Shinnoki. Semi-Custom lines ship sooner; Custom lines and imported finishes can run to twelve weeks.
05 /
SEQUENCED WITH YOUR CONTRACTOR
Installation

05 / QUESTIONS WE HEAR ON EVERY CALL
Before you book.
When should I start on the kitchen?
As soon as you have architectural drawings, even before permits are issued. Design and pricing can be finished during framing; we measure after drywall and install before countertops.
Can you match the kitchen we had?
Often, from photos and the old plans. Many families use the rebuild to fix what never worked, and we will show you both versions side by side.
Will you work with my contractor and architect?
Yes. We share drawings and specifications with your team, coordinate rough-in locations for plumbing and electrical, and schedule install around their calendar.
What does a Lucetti rebuild kitchen cost?
Most Lucetti kitchens begin at $45,000, cabinetry and installation included. Your itemized proposal is free after the consultation, and there is no charge to hold the pricing for 12 months.
