If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. If your Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fires and you are currently staying in Charter Oak while you plan your return, our team can help you rebuild on your Altadena property with a complete turnkey process.
Many Altadena families relocated to nearby communities after the fires, including Charter Oak, where some are living in rentals, extended-stay housing, or with relatives while they wait for the next step. Charter Oak may be where daily life is happening right now, near familiar San Gabriel Valley schools, shopping corridors, and family support, but the home Genesis Builders helps you create is your rebuilt home in Altadena.
Rebuilding after a catastrophic loss can involve architects, engineers, surveyors, permit specialists, insurance questions, lenders, and contractors. Genesis Builders brings those pieces together under one coordinated team, so you have a clear path from planning through construction instead of managing each professional separately.
Our program is designed to give displaced Altadena homeowners a practical head start. We offer pre-approved home designs, financing options through preferred lenders, assistance reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
For families temporarily living in Charter Oak, the goal is simple: rebuild safely, clearly, and efficiently on your Altadena lot so you can return home with confidence.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every home Genesis Builders constructs is built in Altadena and 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, especially when small openings, vents, exterior materials, fences, decks, and nearby structures create paths for ignition.
For Altadena homeowners currently living in Charter Oak, our rebuilding approach focuses on the conditions your new Altadena home must be prepared to face. We incorporate code compliance, local requirements, and higher wildfire-resilience practices into the design and construction process from the beginning.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-resistance requirements for exterior walls, roofing, vents, eaves, and other building components in fire hazard areas.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local design and development standards that help new homes fit responsibly within Altadena’s neighborhoods and foothill setting.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Sets residential design expectations for scale, massing, site planning, and neighborhood compatibility in applicable areas.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: Adds a science-based wildfire resilience framework focused on ember resistance, defensible space, noncombustible zones, and reduced ignition risk.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 California Building Code Chapter 7A only partially addresses, or does not fully address, several areas that can matter during a wildfire, 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 long-term insurability.
