If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena

Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. Many families who lost homes in Altadena are now staying temporarily in Culver City, including rentals near Downtown Culver City, extended-stay hotels near the Culver Steps, or with family closer to Culver City schools and workplaces. Culver City may be where you are living right now, but your rebuild is in Altadena, and that is where Genesis Builders focuses our work.

Our turnkey rebuilding program is designed for families who need one trusted team to manage the entire path back home. Instead of coordinating separate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors on your own, Genesis Builders owns the full process for your Altadena rebuild from planning through construction completion.

We help you move forward with pre-approved home designs created for Altadena, financing options available through preferred lenders, and support reviewing your insurance policy so you can better understand what may be covered for rebuilding. We also provide fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty for added peace of mind.

If you are currently living in Culver City because your Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fires, Genesis Builders can help you plan, permit, and rebuild your new home in Altadena.

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 devastating wind-driven embers can be, especially when they enter vulnerable areas around roofs, vents, decks, fences, exterior openings, and attached structures. Our rebuilding approach addresses those risks with durable materials, careful detailing, and wildfire-conscious construction from the start.

For every Altadena rebuild, Genesis Builders aligns the home with the following standards and requirements:

  • California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Fire-resistant construction standards for homes in wildfire-prone areas, including requirements for roofing, vents, exterior walls, eaves, and other building components exposed to ember and flame risk.
  • Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Local design and development standards that guide how homes are rebuilt in Altadena, including neighborhood compatibility, site planning, and community-specific requirements.
  • Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: County residential design rules that affect building form, massing, setbacks, and related design considerations for homes rebuilt in Altadena.
  • IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A comprehensive wildfire resilience standard focused on reducing ember ignition risks across the home and the surrounding defensible space.

Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A provides important wildfire construction requirements, but it only partially addresses or does not fully address key areas such as 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, which can also help improve insurability by showing that the rebuilt home follows recognized wildfire mitigation practices.

Choose From Pre-Approved Designs Built for Altadena

Genesis Builders offers a curated collection of home designs already created, engineered, and approved for fast-tracked development in Altadena. These plans are intended for displaced Altadena homeowners, including families currently staying in Culver City while they wait to return to their original community.

Our pre-approved Altadena home designs range from approximately 1,250 to 2,200 square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3.5 bathrooms, and single-story or two-story layouts. Each plan is designed to help simplify decision-making, shorten the early planning phase, and provide greater cost certainty.

  • SoCal Traditional: A familiar Southern California style with balanced proportions, welcoming entries, and timeless exterior detailing suited to Altadena neighborhoods.
  • Mediterranean Revival: A warm architectural style with stucco walls, tile-inspired rooflines, arched details, and indoor-outdoor living opportunities.
  • Foothill Craftsman: A character-rich design with natural materials, covered porches, deep eaves, and details that fit the foothill setting of Altadena.
  • California Bungalow: A practical and comfortable style with efficient floor plans, inviting front elevations, and classic California residential character.

You can personalize interior finishes, select materials, and explore optional ADU configurations for your Altadena property. Genesis Builders provides guaranteed pricing so you can make those decisions with clarity while you are temporarily living in Culver City and planning your return to Altadena.
