If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild fire-resistant homes in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. Many families who lost homes in Altadena are now staying in Alhambra, whether in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with relatives near areas such as Main Street, Emery Park, or Midwick Tract. Alhambra may be where you are living temporarily, but Genesis Builders builds only in Altadena and focuses on helping you return to your Altadena property.
Rebuilding after a major wildfire can require coordination between architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, lenders, insurance representatives, and contractors. Genesis Builders provides a complete turnkey process so one trusted team manages the entire path from planning through construction completion. That structure helps reduce confusion, shorten decision cycles, and give families a clearer path home.
Our rebuilding program includes financing options available through preferred lenders, assistance reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, a curated selection of pre-approved home plans, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Our pre-approved home designs give displaced Altadena homeowners a valuable head start. Instead of beginning with a blank page, you can choose from plans already created for Altadena lots, Altadena design requirements, and fire-resistant construction standards.
If you are currently living in Alhambra after losing your Altadena home, our job is to help you rebuild safely, efficiently, and confidently on your Altadena property.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every home Genesis Builders builds in Altadena is designed to meet or exceed California’s strictest fire safety requirements. The Eaton Fires showed how quickly wind-driven embers can enter vulnerable areas around a home, including vents, roof edges, decks, fences, glazing, and exterior attachments. Our homes are built with that reality in mind.
Genesis Builders designs and builds Altadena homes in alignment with the following standards:
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These rules address wildfire-resistant materials and construction methods for homes in fire-prone areas, including roofing, vents, exterior walls, eaves, and openings where embers can enter.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards guide how homes in Altadena should relate to neighborhood character, massing, setbacks, site planning, and community design expectations.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These countywide residential standards help regulate building scale, design compatibility, and site development for new homes and rebuilds.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This science-based standard goes beyond baseline code by addressing the home and surrounding parcel as a system, with added focus on ember resistance, defensible space, attachments, and exterior vulnerability reduction.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A is an important baseline, but it only partially addresses or does not fully address certain wildfire vulnerabilities such as fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs. Genesis Builders closes those gaps by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard for Altadena rebuilds.
This higher standard supports long-term resilience and can also help improve insurability by giving homeowners a more complete, documented fire-resistant building approach to share with insurance providers.
