If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. We do not build homes in Long Beach. This page is for Altadena homeowners who are temporarily living in Long Beach after the Eaton Fires and are preparing to rebuild on their Altadena property.
Many Altadena families found temporary housing in Long Beach after the fires, whether in rentals near Belmont Shore, extended-stay hotels close to the waterfront, apartments in Bixby Knolls, or with family in neighborhoods such as Naples, Alamitos Beach, and Los Altos. While Long Beach may be where you are staying now, our role is to help you return home to Altadena with a clear rebuild plan and one accountable team managing the process.
Genesis Builders offers a complete turnkey solution for displaced Altadena homeowners currently living in Long Beach. Instead of coordinating separate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, insurance contacts, lenders, and contractors from a distance, you can work with one trusted team that owns the full process from planning through construction completion in Altadena.
Our program gives homeowners a head start through pre-approved home designs created for Altadena rebuilds. We also provide financing options through preferred lenders, help review your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, offer pre-approved home plans to choose from, provide fixed pricing and a set schedule, manage construction from start to finish, and include 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 destructive ember intrusion can be, especially when wind-driven embers enter small gaps, vents, roof edges, under-deck areas, and vulnerable exterior details.
For Altadena homeowners currently living in Long Beach, this means your rebuild can be planned around a higher fire-resistant standard from the beginning, even while you manage decisions remotely from your temporary housing.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-area construction standards for ignition-resistant materials, exterior walls, roofs, vents, windows, decks, and related building components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Applies local design and development rules that help new homes fit Altadena’s neighborhood character, scale, setbacks, and community expectations.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Provides residential design requirements for homes in unincorporated Los Angeles County, including standards that affect massing, height, site planning, and neighborhood compatibility.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A research-based wildfire resilience standard focused on ember resistance, defensible space, noncombustible materials, and risk reduction beyond baseline code.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A only partially addresses or does not address several important risk areas, including 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 home was rebuilt with stronger wildfire mitigation measures.
