Perhaps most rewarding of all though are the hundreds of satisfied homeowners who have confirmed DeNova Homes’ standard of quality, lifestyle, and value. While we focus on innovative design and superior craftsmanship, our primary commitment is to the lifestyle our homeowners enjoy when they move into a DeNova home. DeNova Homes is there for the neighborhoods in which we build. A Bay Area home builder is discontinuing talks to rebuild homes in Santa Rosa’s Coffey Park neighborhood. In a letter sent yesterday to residents who lost homes in the October fires, DeNova Homes claimed its construction partners hindered its cost-effective production plan.
If so, residents may keep the walls and spruce them up. However, some neighbors are concerned that people will tear down their portions of the walls, while others leave their sections in place. DeNova Homes, a large Bay Area homebuilder, canceled plans in January to rebuild homes in Coffey Park. His builder, Lake County Contractors of Cobb, is among a number of construction companies large and small that are seeking work in Coffey Park.
Rebuilding after the fires: First home rises in Coffey Park
Workers were able to reuse the home’s foundation, an exception in Coffey Park, where the vast majority of foundations were removed as part of the government-funded debris cleanup. The foundation’s concrete underwent strength testing and the results “were well above the minimum requirements,” said Dan Bradford, the property’s owner. While house debris cleanup ended, some home lots still need burned cars removed. Others might need further soil scraped away if tests found toxics in the dirt. For some families and individuals, their American dream isn't about owning a home.
It became available to property owners who lost homes in the region’s four counties affected by the fires. In Coffey Park, the vast majority of homeowners chose to take part rather than be responsible for their own debris cleanup. The withdrawal fueled concern that other builders could have trouble getting enough construction workers to accommodate all the homeowners who want to rebuild this year.

However, city officials say the structures belong to each of the 38 property owners whose homes back up to them on both sides of Hopper east of Coffey Lane. The lots have to be graded before foundations can be poured. The government-sponsored cleanup began in late October a few weeks after the wildfires.

Many of those contractors have said they expect to begin work there this spring. We will remove any comments — or commenters — that do not follow this commenting policy. Okrepkie expressed concern that such a large Bay Area homebuilder could not make a large-scale project “financially feasible.” DeNova is currently building homes in Petaluma in a development called Brody Ranch. We know that having a place to call home is just the beginning.
Parents and a school official spoke of the strong bonds made between teachers and children in the aftermath of the fires. They said the children are learning firsthand about compassion, caring and how people bounce back from adversity.

The cracked concrete walls along Hopper Lane had sagged in places even before the fires. Now Coffey Park residents who live alongside them express dismay over what to do with them. The new year began with construction workers erecting a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on Kerry Lane. It is the first home destroyed in the October wildfires to be rebuilt in Santa Rosa, where 3,000 residences were leveled during the firestorm.

Henry Coffey, born in New York in 1832, came to Santa Rosa in 1885 and purchased 320 acres more than 2 miles northwest of town. A father of nine, Coffey already had farmed or raised livestock in four other locations in California and Arizona. He would stay here no more than 15 years before moving on, but it was long enough for a key northwest road to be named Coffey Lane. According to one estimate, it would cost $300,000 to replace the walls, not including the cost to knock down and haul away the current structure. Many neighbors said their insurance policies wouldn’t cover that cost, for varying reasons. Army Corps of Engineers announced its contractors had completed the cleanup of debris from more than 1,200 houses in Coffey Park.

In 1987, and with a wife in ill health, Schaefer reluctantly sold for $1.5 million most of his land for new homes and the school. The campus opened in 1990, two years before Schaefer died at age 84. In contrast to Coffey, Morrice Schaefer, for whom Schaefer School is named, spent most of his adult life in Sonoma County. A native San Franciscan, Schaefer paid $8,500 for his 24-acre farm a short ways south from where Coffey had lived a half-century earlier.
Families also need valuable life skills to help turn transitional housing into transformational living. That's why we partner with service professionals and volunteers to provide coaching to help individuals and families develop additional life skills in financial planning, interview training and more. It wasn’t revealed how many homeowners were affected by the company’s decision. DeNova recently stated that 75 homeowners had expressed “serious interest” in working with the builder, Coffey Strong chairman Jeff Okrepkie said.
DeNova volunteers in its communities with HomeAid Northern California, American Red Cross, American Cancer Society and the Boys and Girls Club. It turns out the neighborhood was named for a man who often pulled up stakes in search of new opportunities. In contrast, the neighborhood school was named for a prune grower who set down roots in Santa Rosa and for years refused to sell to what he called “real estate sharkies” seeking to develop his farm. We believe we can help families and individuals achieve their aspirations for a better tomorrow by providing affordable housing opportunities in the communities where they live and work. We believe they deserve an opportunity to start over, surrounded by a community that not only wants them to succeed, but is also willing to lend them hope and extend a helping hand. Many residents thought the city owned the four-decade-old walls, which after the fire look worse as a result of their burned wood facia.
For 30 years, DeNova Homes has earned a reputation as one of the most respected homebuilders in California. Our approach is simple—as a private, family-owned builder, we address each community individually, incorporate the unique characteristics of the surrounding area and commit to build only the very best. These guiding principles have been recognized numerous times by the Building Industry Association through various awards, including the prestigious Builder of the Year award.
We believe that everyone deserves a place to call homes; a place that is a shelter from the storms of life where they can find a fresh start and hope for a brighter future. As a private family-owned builder, we intentionally develop each community—incorporating characteristics of the surrounding area into our innovative design and superior craftsmanship. The neighbors are seeking an engineer who could determine whether the wall remains structurally sound.
It’s estimated that about 75 homeowners were interested in doing business with DeNova. The company also suspended talks with residents in the Fountaingrove and Mark West Springs areas.
