The Altadena Rebuild has a different challenge than Palisades due to the historic architecture that was lost. We are prepared for this challenge, I just helped my wife Regina O’Brien Wronske restore a 1933 Deco Synagogue for which we won a Historic Preservation Award from the Los Angeles Conservancy.
Capturing the insurance claim value of the lost historic elements of Altadena architecture requires estimates from specialists – the same craftsmen we worked with on the synagogue restoration. Millwork, plaster details, tile, and stained glass windows. We had three different stained glass window trades, had custom tiles made to match historic bathrooms where repairs were needed, had our shipright rebuild the entry doors and hollywood scenics match the stains and finishes on the altar and doors.
