If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
If your Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fires and you are currently living in Torrance, Genesis Builders can help you plan your return home to Altadena. Many Altadena families have temporarily relocated to Torrance, whether in rentals near Old Torrance, extended-stay housing close to the South Bay, or with family while they wait for the rebuilding process to begin.
Genesis Builders builds only in Altadena. Torrance is where many displaced homeowners are staying right now, and our work is focused on helping you rebuild your fire-resistant home in Altadena.
Our role is to help Altadena homeowners who are temporarily living in Torrance rebuild safely, clearly, and confidently in Altadena with one accountable team managing the process.
Rebuilding after a catastrophic fire can involve architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, insurance questions, lenders, and contractors. Genesis Builders provides a complete turnkey solution so you do not have to coordinate each of those pieces separately. We manage the process from planning through construction, with one team responsible for keeping your Altadena rebuild organized and moving forward.
Our pre-approved home designs give homeowners a valuable head start. Instead of beginning with a blank page, you can choose from designs that have already been created for Altadena rebuilding, engineered for safety, and prepared for a more efficient approval path.
Genesis Builders also helps homeowners review their insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding. Financing is available through preferred lenders, and our program includes pre-approved home plans to choose from, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
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 vulnerable homes can be to wind-driven embers, heat exposure, and ignition points around vents, roofs, decks, fences, and exterior openings. Our rebuilding program responds to those risks with a stronger, more complete fire-resistant approach.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address construction in wildfire-prone areas, including ignition-resistant materials, roof assemblies, vents, exterior walls, and other components that help reduce wildfire vulnerability.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards guide how homes are designed and built in Altadena, helping preserve neighborhood character while supporting safe and compliant rebuilding.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These design standards help ensure residential projects meet county requirements for site planning, massing, architectural compatibility, and neighborhood-sensitive development.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This technical standard provides a more comprehensive wildfire-resilience framework, with added focus on ember resistance, defensible space, connected structures, and ignition risks beyond basic code compliance.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A provides important protections, yet it only partially addresses or does not address several areas that matter in real wildfire conditions, including fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs. Genesis Builders closes those gaps by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard.
This higher standard helps reduce ignition risks and can also support improved insurability. For Altadena homeowners currently living in Torrance, that means your rebuild is planned around the conditions your future home in Altadena must be ready to face.

- SoCal Traditional: A timeless Southern California style with balanced proportions, familiar rooflines, and a warm residential feel that fits naturally into established Altadena neighborhoods.
- Mediterranean Revival: A classic style with stucco finishes, tile roof forms, arched details, and indoor-outdoor living elements inspired by historic California architecture.
