ABOUT US
Wellman & Company and Danbuilt, Inc.—two trusted names in local construction—have joined forces to form Spiegel Wellman Contractors, a partnership born from shared values and a deep commitment to our community. With decades of combined experience and the guiding principle of "Collaboration in Quality," we're uniting our teams to bring faster, more efficient rebuilding services to both residential and commercial clients. This initiative was inspired by the strength and resilience we’ve seen in our neighbors following the devastating wildfires—this is more than business for us; it’s deeply personal.
As we work side-by-side with our community, we're proud to share a pivotal update: FEMA has approved an expansion of California’s wildfire debris removal program. This includes broader eligibility for owner-occupied condos, multi-family units, and certain commercial properties, along with an extended deadline to submit Right of Entry forms (now April 15, 2025). This marks a significant step forward in the recovery process, and we’re here to guide you through it every step of the way. At Spiegel Wellman Contractors, we’re not just rebuilding homes—we’re helping restore lives, with care, expertise, and purpose.
