If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. Many families whose homes were destroyed have temporarily relocated to Downey, staying in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with relatives while they wait for a clear path home. Whether you are currently near Downtown Downey, Stonewood Center, Rio Hondo, or close to Downey schools, our work is focused on helping you return to your Altadena property.
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. We do not build homes in Downey. For displaced Altadena homeowners currently living in Downey, our role is to manage the Altadena rebuild from planning through completion so you can move back with confidence.
Our goal is to give Altadena families a clear, organized rebuilding path while they are temporarily living elsewhere, including in Downey.
Rebuilding after a wildfire can involve architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, lenders, insurance documentation, and general contractors. Genesis Builders brings those moving parts under one trusted team. Instead of coordinating every professional separately while you are living away from Altadena, you work with us through a complete turnkey process designed specifically for Altadena rebuilds.
Our pre-approved home designs give homeowners a valuable head start. You can choose from plans already created for Altadena lots, local requirements, and wildfire-resilient construction. 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 a fixed price and 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 wind-driven embers can be, especially when they enter through vulnerable vents, gaps, fences, decks, glass, and other exterior connections. Our homes are built with that reality in mind.
Each Altadena rebuild is designed around the following standards:
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: State wildfire construction rules that address ignition-resistant materials, protected openings, roofing, vents, and exterior assemblies in fire-prone areas.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Local planning and design requirements that help guide how homes fit within Altadena’s neighborhoods, lot patterns, and community character.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: County-level residential design standards that shape scale, massing, site planning, and neighborhood compatibility for new homes.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A science-based wildfire resilience standard focused on reducing structure ignition risk from embers, radiant heat, and direct flame contact.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A only partially addresses or does not address key wildfire vulnerabilities such as fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs. Genesis Builders closes those gaps by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard for Altadena homes, which can also help improve the home’s insurability.
Choose From Pre-Approved Designs Built for Altadena
Genesis Builders offers a curated collection of homes already designed, engineered, and approved for fast-tracked development in Altadena. These homes range from 1,250 to 2,200 square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3.5 bathrooms, and both single-story and two-story layouts.
Each design is created for Altadena rebuilding, with architectural styles that respect the area’s residential character while incorporating modern fire-resistant materials and construction details.
- SoCal Traditional: A familiar Southern California home style with balanced proportions, warm exterior materials, and practical family layouts.
- Mediterranean Revival: A timeless design with stucco finishes, tile-inspired roof forms, arched details, and indoor-outdoor living elements.
- Foothill Craftsman: A style suited to Altadena’s foothill setting, with strong rooflines, inviting porches, wood-inspired details, and grounded proportions.
- California Bungalow: A compact, efficient, and welcoming design with classic porch character, simple massing, and flexible interior planning.
You can customize interior finishes and select optional ADU configurations while maintaining guaranteed pricing. This gives displaced Altadena homeowners currently living in Downey a faster, more predictable route back to a completed home in Altadena.
