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 living temporarily in Burbank, whether in rentals near Magnolia Park, extended-stay hotels close to the Media District, or with family while they plan their return home.
To be clear, Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. Burbank is where many Altadena families are staying right now. Our role is to help you move from temporary housing in Burbank back into a fire-resistant, newly rebuilt home on your Altadena property.
Rebuilding after a fire involves decisions that can quickly become overwhelming. Architecture, engineering, surveying, permitting, insurance coordination, pricing, scheduling, and construction all need to work together. Genesis Builders provides a complete turnkey solution so you have one trusted team managing the process from planning through completion.
With Genesis Builders, you do not have to separately coordinate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors. We manage the full rebuild path for your Altadena home, including financing options through preferred lenders, review of your insurance policy to help identify what may be covered for rebuilding, pre-approved home plans to choose from, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Our pre-approved home designs give Altadena homeowners a meaningful head start. Instead of beginning with a blank page, you can choose from plans already developed for Altadena lots, wildfire resilience, and efficient construction timelines.
Our goal is to help families who are temporarily living in Burbank return to Altadena with confidence, clarity, and a home built for the realities of wildfire recovery.
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 wind-driven embers can be, especially when embers enter vents, collect near openings, ignite combustible attachments, or spread through vulnerable exterior materials.
For Altadena rebuilds, Genesis Builders follows a layered fire-resistant approach that addresses code requirements and additional wildfire resilience measures.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address wildfire-resistant construction in high fire hazard areas, including ignition-resistant materials, ember-resistant vents, roofing, exterior walls, and other building components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards help guide the character, scale, and community compatibility of new construction in Altadena.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These standards regulate residential design elements such as massing, setbacks, height, and neighborhood compatibility for homes built in unincorporated Los Angeles County communities such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This science-based standard focuses on reducing wildfire risk through defensible design, ember resistance, noncombustible zones, exterior material choices, and protection of vulnerable details.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A only partially addresses or does not address several important wildfire 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.
This higher standard helps reduce the risk of ember ignition and structure-to-structure fire spread. It can also support insurance conversations by showing that the rebuilt Altadena home was constructed with recognized wildfire mitigation measures beyond minimum code requirements.
