If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. This page is for Altadena homeowners who lost their homes in the Eaton Fires and are currently living in Calabasas while they plan their return home.
Many displaced Altadena families have found temporary housing in Calabasas, whether in rentals near Calabasas Park, extended-stay accommodations along the 101 corridor, or with family near Las Virgenes schools. Calabasas may be where you are staying right now, but Genesis Builders helps you rebuild your permanent home in Altadena.
Rebuilding after a catastrophic fire can require coordination between architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, insurance representatives, lenders, and contractors. Genesis Builders simplifies that process by serving as one trusted turnkey team for your Altadena rebuild.
Our rebuilding program is designed to give displaced homeowners a clear path forward, including financing options through preferred lenders, help reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, pre-approved home plans to choose from, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Because our home designs are already prepared for Altadena, you can begin with a significant head start compared with a fully custom rebuild. That means fewer unknowns, clearer pricing, and a more organized process from planning through move-in.
Your temporary address may be in Calabasas, but your rebuild plan belongs in Altadena.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every home Genesis Builders constructs is built in Altadena and is designed to meet or exceed California’s strictest fire safety requirements. The Eaton Fires showed how destructive wind-driven embers can be, especially when they enter vulnerable areas such as vents, roof edges, exterior openings, fencing connections, decks, and other exposed details.
For Altadena homeowners currently living in Calabasas, our goal is to help you return to a home that is stronger, safer, and more resilient than what was lost. We build with a fire-resistant approach that accounts for code compliance, local design standards, and additional wildfire mitigation measures.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards establish fire-resistance requirements for homes in wildfire-prone areas, including exterior materials, roofing, vents, eaves, and other components exposed to wildfire conditions.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards help guide the character, scale, and neighborhood compatibility of new homes built in Altadena.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These standards address residential design quality, massing, site planning, and neighborhood fit for homes within applicable Los Angeles County communities, including Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This science-based standard focuses on reducing wildfire risk from embers, direct flame contact, and radiant heat through home-hardening details and defensible design practices.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A only partially addresses or leaves gaps related to fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs. Genesis Builders closes those gaps by building Altadena homes to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard.
This higher standard can also support improved insurability. While insurance availability and pricing are determined by carriers, a home built with recognized wildfire mitigation measures may give homeowners a stronger basis for insurance conversations after rebuilding in Altadena.

- Mediterranean Revival: A warm architectural style with stucco finishes, arched details, tile-inspired roof forms, and indoor-outdoor living influence.

Homeowners can personalize interior finishes, select materials, and explore optional ADU configurations where appropriate for the Altadena lot and applicable requirements. Genesis Builders provides guaranteed pricing, so you can make design decisions with a clear understanding of cost before construction begins.
These homes are for Altadena rebuilds only. If you are currently staying in Calabasas, Genesis Builders can help you select the right plan for your Altadena property and guide the project from initial planning to final completion.
