If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. Many families who lost homes have temporarily relocated to Commerce, staying in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with relatives while they wait for a clear path home. Commerce may be where you are living right now, near familiar access points like the I-5, I-710, or the Citadel area, but Altadena is where Genesis Builders builds.
Our turnkey rebuilding program is designed for displaced Altadena families currently living in Commerce who need one accountable team to manage the entire rebuild. Instead of coordinating separate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors on your own, Genesis Builders brings the process under one roof so decisions, timelines, budgets, and construction details stay aligned from the beginning.
We offer pre-approved home designs created specifically for fast-tracked development in Altadena, giving homeowners a meaningful head start after catastrophic loss. Our process also includes financing options through preferred lenders, insurance policy review support to help identify what may be covered for rebuilding, pre-approved home plans to choose from, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
If you are managing your rebuild from Commerce, our role is to help you move forward with confidence while your new fire-resistant home is planned, permitted, and built in Altadena.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every home Genesis Builders constructs in Altadena is designed to meet or exceed California’s strictest fire safety requirements. The Eaton Fires showed how wind-driven embers can enter weak points around vents, eaves, openings, fences, decks, and nearby structures. Our homes are designed with those risks in mind from the earliest planning stage.
For Altadena homeowners temporarily living in Commerce, this means your rebuild is planned around the specific fire-hardening standards that apply to your Altadena property, rather than a generic residential construction approach.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-resistant construction standards for exterior walls, roofs, vents, eaves, windows, and other building components in fire hazard areas.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local planning and design requirements that help preserve Altadena’s neighborhood character while guiding rebuilding after the Eaton Fires.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Sets residential design rules for scale, massing, setbacks, and neighborhood compatibility for homes built in unincorporated Los Angeles County, including Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A rigorous wildfire resilience standard focused on reducing ignition risks from embers, direct flame contact, and surrounding defensible space conditions.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A only partially addresses or does not address several important wildfire exposure 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 as homeowners return to the area.
Our focus remains clear: we build fire-resistant homes in Altadena for Altadena homeowners, including families who are currently staying in Commerce while their rebuild is underway.
