Mark D.

Los Angeles, CA

The county’s contractors wouldn’t touch our pool or driveway. First Built cleared it all, graded the lot, and made it truly rebuild-ready. Can’t recommend them enough.

Sara L.

They made a heartbreaking situation so much easier. The crew was licensed, fast, and respectful. Signing the ROE was the best decision we made after the fire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got any questions? We got you covered

What is the Wildfire Debris Cleanup Program?

This program helps property owners affected by wildfires safely remove all hazardous materials—including asbestos—at no out-of-pocket cost. First Built handles testing, permitting, and full cleanup through a county-supported program.

What’s included in the cleanup?

Unlike partial cleanup services, First Built offers full-site remediation, including:

  • Household hazardous waste removal

  • Asbestos testing and abatement

  • Foundation removal

  • Driveways, pools, and retaining wall removal

  • Ash and debris removal

  • 6-inch ash footprint scrape

  • Rough grading

Is there really no out-of-pocket cost?

Yes. The entire process is funded through government resources. All that’s required to start is a signed Right of Entry (ROE) form. We work directly with your insurance company.

Why do I need to act quickly?

The county’s cleanup deadline is June 30, 2025. If you don’t act in time, the county will perform the cleanup and bill you directly. To guarantee completion before the deadline, sign your ROE by June 1, 2025.

What happens after I sign the ROE?
  • Asbestos testing and permitting begin immediately.

  • If asbestos is found, we work directly with SCAQMD for remediation approval (adds about 1 week).

  • Cleanup typically begins within 3 weeks of signing.

How experienced is First Built?

Our partners have cleared over 10,000 properties to date out of the 13,000 affected lots. Our team includes Certified Asbestos Consultants (CACs) and is fully HAZ certified.

What is the “Green Rebuild” Incentive?

By choosing to rebuild green, you can fast-track your permitting process. Just check the green rebuild option on your ROE form.

Will my property lines or walls be affected?

No. We preserve dividing walls and respect property boundaries to maintain good relationships with neighbors.
