Why Artisan Build Group
One contractor. Every phase. No handoffs.

From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, we manage every phase of your rebuild — design, permits, construction, and energy systems — so you never have to coordinate between contractors, chase approvals, or wonder what comes next.

01

Licensed & local

CA Contractor License #1059364. Based in Sherman Oaks — we know these communities and are already active in both fire zones.

02

Full custom new construction

Ground-up builds tailored to your vision, not a template. High-end craftsmanship that fire victims deserve.

03

Whole-home energy built in

Solar, battery storage, HVAC, insulation, and WUI-compliant roofing — integrated from day one, not bolted on after.

04

Permit & code expertise

We know the like-for-like rebuild rules, the new Title 24 WUI requirements, and LA County's accelerated approval programs inside and out.

05

Insurance coordination

We work alongside your adjuster to ensure your rebuild scope and budget are fully aligned from the start.

06

Warranty & post-build support

Comprehensive warranty coverage and ongoing maintenance services to protect your investment long-term.
