Rebuild with Hope: Local Remodeling Company Supports Eaton Fire Survivors

Published on Oct 6, 2025

In a generous community outreach effort, JB Kitchens Baths & Design, Inc. has launched a Rebuild with Hope initiative, offering free resources and support to families in Altadena and Pasadena displaced by the devastating Eaton Fire. By combining compassion with expertise, the company aims to help survivors rebuild with confidence, affordability, and long-term support.

Free Architectural Plans & Permitting Support

Through its strong relationships with trusted vendors, JB Kitchens is making professionally designed building plans available at no cost to families who lost their homes. These plans are intended to streamline the county permitting process and reduce costly design expenses that often delay reconstruction.

“If you’ve recently lost your home in the devastating Eaton fires, we want you to know you’re not alone,” the company stated on its website announcing the initiative.

The support package includes:

  • Professionally designed building plan sets
  • Fast and easy digital access through JB’s design team
  • Personalized assistance for families beginning their rebuild

Scale of the Disaster

The Eaton Fire burned 14,021 acres in Altadena and Pasadena, destroying 9,418 structures and damaging approximately 1,073 more, according to CAL FIRE data from January 12. The widespread destruction has created overwhelming demand for rebuilding resources, guidance, and affordable solutions.

By July, more than 800 homeowners had applied for rebuilding permits, but only 145 had been approved to begin construction, according to Los Angeles Times reporting. These delays have left many survivors struggling to move forward.

Long-Term Reliability & Supplier Discounts

JB Kitchens maintains its own mechanical, electrical, and plumbing crews. The same professionals who install systems also return for service, ensuring consistency, accountability, and reliability throughout the life of the home.

“Rebuilding isn’t just about structures—it’s about restoring peace of mind,” said Alfred Edwards, General Manager of JB Kitchens Baths & Design. “We want families to know their homes are built with affordable, efficient systems that will be supported for years to come.”

In addition, JB works directly with its vendor partners to secure special pricing, discounts, and utility incentives. By extending these savings directly to homeowners, JB can make rebuilding more cost-effective and accessible for families.

Trusted Local Builder

With decades of service across Southern California, JB Kitchens Baths & Design has built a reputation for:

  • Quick turnaround times

  • Expert knowledge of local architectural styles and building codes

The company is five-star rated, fully insured, and locally headquartered at 521 W. Arrow Hwy., San Dimas.
