If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. This page is for Altadena homeowners who lost their homes in the Eaton Fires and are currently living in Covina while they plan their return home.
Many displaced Altadena families have found temporary housing in Covina, including rentals, extended-stay hotels, and homes with relatives near places such as Downtown Covina, Charter Oak, and the South Hills area. Covina may be where your family is staying right now, but your rebuild is in Altadena, and Genesis Builders is focused on helping you get back there with clarity and confidence.
Rebuilding after a total loss can involve architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, insurance questions, lenders, material selections, contractors, inspections, and schedule management. Genesis Builders brings those moving parts together through one turnkey process for your Altadena rebuild, so you have one trusted team managing the work from planning through completion.
Our rebuilding program gives displaced Altadena homeowners a head start through pre-approved home designs, financing options available through preferred lenders, assistance reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Our goal is to make the path back to Altadena clear, organized, and buildable for families who are currently living elsewhere because of the Eaton Fires.
From your temporary location in Covina, Genesis Builders can help you make decisions, select a plan, coordinate the rebuild process, and move toward a fire-resistant new home on your Altadena property.
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 reach vents, eaves, decks, fences, openings, and vulnerable exterior materials before flames ever arrive.
Our Altadena homes are planned with wildfire resilience at the center of the design and construction process. We build with attention to defensible space, noncombustible or ignition-resistant materials, protected openings, and details that reduce the likelihood of ember entry.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes fire-resistant construction requirements for homes in wildfire-prone areas, including standards for exterior walls, roofing, vents, eaves, and other exterior components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local planning and design standards that help guide appropriate residential development in Altadena’s neighborhoods.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Sets residential design expectations for scale, massing, setbacks, and neighborhood compatibility in applicable Los Angeles County communities.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A voluntary, science-based wildfire resilience standard that addresses ignition risks beyond basic code requirements, including ember-resistant detailing and home-hardening measures.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 California Building Code Chapter 7A only partially addresses or does not fully address important wildfire exposure areas such as 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 wherever applicable.
This higher standard is designed to reduce wildfire vulnerability and may also help improve insurability. For families currently living in Covina while waiting to rebuild in Altadena, that added level of protection can be an important part of returning home with greater peace of mind.

Genesis Builders offers a curated collection of homes already designed, engineered, and approved for fast-tracked development in Altadena.

Our Altadena home designs range from approximately 1,250 to 2,200 square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3.5 bathrooms, and both single-story and two-story options. Each plan is created for homeowners rebuilding on Altadena lots after the Eaton Fires, including families who are temporarily living in Covina while they wait to return.
- SoCal Traditional: A familiar Southern California style with balanced proportions, welcoming entries, and flexible family-friendly floor plans.
- Mediterranean Revival: A warm architectural style with stucco finishes, tile roof influences, arched details, and indoor-outdoor living opportunities.
- Foothill Craftsman: A style inspired by Altadena’s foothill character, with detailed entries, strong rooflines, and natural material expression.

Homeowners can customize interior finishes and select optional ADU configurations when appropriate for the Altadena property. Genesis Builders provides guaranteed pricing, so you can make selections with a clear understanding of cost before construction begins.
