If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps displaced Altadena homeowners rebuild in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. Many families who lost homes in Altadena are now staying in South Pasadena, whether in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with family near familiar areas such as Mission Street, Garfield Park, Arroyo Vista Elementary, South Pasadena Middle School, and South Pasadena High School. South Pasadena may be where you are living temporarily, and Altadena is where Genesis Builders builds.
Our construction work is focused on helping you return to a rebuilt home in Altadena. We offer a complete turnkey rebuilding solution for Altadena homeowners who are currently living in South Pasadena while they plan, wait for approvals, review insurance coverage, and prepare for construction.
After a catastrophic loss, managing a rebuild can quickly become overwhelming. Homeowners are often asked to coordinate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, insurance documentation, lenders, and contractors separately. Genesis Builders brings those pieces together under one trusted team, so your Altadena rebuild has a clear plan, a single point of accountability, and a defined path from design through construction.
Our pre-approved home designs give Altadena homeowners a valuable head start. Instead of beginning from a blank page, you can choose from home plans already designed and engineered for fast-tracked development in Altadena. From there, we help coordinate the details that matter, including financing options through preferred lenders, insurance policy review to help identify what may be covered for rebuilding, pre-approved home plans, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Our goal is to help Altadena families who are temporarily living in South Pasadena move back to Altadena with a safer, stronger, and more predictable rebuilding process.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every home Genesis Builders constructs in Altadena is built to meet or exceed California’s strictest fire safety requirements. The Eaton Fires showed how vulnerable homes can be to ember intrusion, wind-driven debris, exposed vents, combustible attachments, and weak points around exterior materials. Our Altadena homes are designed with those risks in mind from the beginning.
For Altadena homeowners currently living in South Pasadena, this means your rebuild is planned for the conditions your home will face in Altadena’s foothill environment. Genesis Builders builds in Altadena only, and our fire-resistant construction approach is tailored to helping you return there with confidence.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address wildfire exposure through requirements for ignition-resistant construction, including roofing, vents, exterior walls, eaves, windows, and decks in designated fire hazard areas.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards guide how homes in Altadena should fit the character, scale, and planning expectations of the community while supporting compliant residential development.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These design standards help ensure residential projects meet county expectations for massing, setbacks, neighborhood compatibility, and overall site planning.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This nationally recognized wildfire resilience standard addresses vulnerabilities such as ember intrusion, defensible space, noncombustible materials, and protection of the home and surrounding structures.
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.
This higher standard is designed to reduce wildfire vulnerability and may also help improve insurability. For families living temporarily in South Pasadena while planning an Altadena rebuild, that added resilience can be an important part of returning home with greater long-term security.
