Trusted Local Builders Helping Spokane
Recover, Rebuild, and Move Forward!
The wildfires that are still sweeping through Spokane - the Old Trails, Fairview, and Autumn Lane fires - have destroyed hundreds of homes and displaced tens of thousands of families (including some of ours) across neighborhoods like Indian Trail, Balboa, and North Spokane. If your home was damaged or lost, you're not alone, and you don't have to navigate what comes next by yourself.

As a local, licensed general contractor based right here in Spokane, we specialize in fire rebuilds and insurance reconstruction, guiding homeowners through debris removal coordination, insurance claim support, and complete custom rebuilds for families affected by the recent fires.
Our team walks with you through every step: assessing structural and smoke damage, documenting losses for your insurance provider, securing permits, and designing a new home that fits your family's needs. Built to current Washington wildfire-resilient building standards so it's safer for the future. Whether you want to rebuild exactly what you had or use this as an opportunity to reimagine your home, we make the process as clear and manageable as possible during an incredibly difficult time.

Fire Rebuild Contractors Spokane WA
As experienced fire rebuild contractors in Spokane WA, we know that recovering from a wildfire involves far more than swinging a hammer. We manage the entire rebuild process — permitting, debris and demolition scheduling, design, and construction — so you can focus on your family.
Our process starts with a free on-site or virtual assessment of your property. From there, we connect you with trusted debris removal and abatement partners and begin designing a rebuild plan that fits your budget, your vision, and current Spokane building codes.
We also build with wildfire resilience in mind — using fire-resistant roofing and siding materials, ember-resistant vent systems, and defensible landscaping guidance — so your new home is better protected than before. Whether you want to rebuild your home exactly as it was or take this opportunity to redesign a space that better fits your family, our team brings the same craftsmanship and attention to detail we bring to every custom home we build.
We handle every aspect of your fire rebuild, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience from your first phone call to the day you move back home.
Insurance Reconstruction Spokane WA
Rebuilding through an insurance claim comes with its own process, and it's easy to feel outmatched by adjusters, estimates, and paperwork while you're also dealing with temporary housing and displaced routines. As experienced insurance reconstruction contractors, Diamond Homes works directly with your insurance company from day one, so your rebuild is scoped and priced to match your actual coverage.
We prepare detailed damage documentation and construction estimates that support your claim, communicate directly with your adjuster on your behalf, and help you understand exactly what your policy covers — and where the gaps might be — before construction begins. Our goal is to make sure the reconstruction budget your insurer approves translates into a home you're proud of, not a series of compromises.
From the initial claim conversation through final walkthrough, we act as your advocate and your builder, so you're never negotiating alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do first if my home was damaged or destroyed in the Spokane wildfires?
Start by contacting your insurance company to begin your claim and document all damage with photos before any cleanup begins. Once you're ready to talk rebuild options, Diamond Homes offers a free consultation to walk you through the process, from debris removal coordination to design and permitting.
How much does a fire rebuild cost in Spokane?
Rebuild costs vary based on the size, materials, and level of customization, but typically range from $200–$300/sq ft for standard rebuilds and $250–$1,000+/sq ft for luxury custom rebuilds. Diamond Homes works closely with your insurance settlement and budget to design a rebuild plan that maximizes value without compromising quality.
What is insurance reconstruction, and how is it different from a standard rebuild?
Insurance reconstruction means your rebuild is planned and priced around what your insurance policy actually covers. Diamond Homes helps document damage, prepares estimates that support your claim, and communicates directly with your insurance adjuster so your rebuild budget lines up with your settlement from the start.
How long does a fire rebuild take?
Timelines depend on permitting, design complexity, and material availability, but most full rebuilds take approximately 6–14 months from initial consultation to move-in. Diamond Homes prioritizes clear communication throughout so you always know what to expect.
Can you help make my new home more fire-resistant?
Yes. We build using fire-resistant roofing, siding, and ember-resistant vent systems, and we can advise on defensible-space landscaping — helping your new home meet modern wildfire-resilience standards so it's safer going forward.
