ONWARD BUILDERS

From initial planning to final build, we help homeowners navigate the rebuilding process with experience, care, and attention to every detail.

Rebuilding Pacific Palisades. Helping Families Move Forward.

After
Before

The January 2025 fires destroyed thousands of homes across Pacific Palisades — one of LA's most beloved neighborhoods. Entire streets were lost overnight. For families who lived here for decades, it wasn't just property they lost. It was home. Onward Builders was founded in direct response to that moment — by Michael Shlomof, an LA native who has been building in this city for 15 years and knew exactly what these homeowners were going to need

We handle the entire rebuild — so you don't have to.

Rebuilding after a total loss is one of the most complicated processes a homeowner can face. Insurance negotiations. Demolition. Design. Permits with both the City of Los Angeles and LA County. Construction. Most families have never done this before. We have — and we bring our full in-house team to every Palisades project, from the first site visit to the day you get your keys back.
