If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. Many families who lost their homes have temporarily relocated to Duarte, staying in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with family while they wait for a clear path back to their Altadena property.
If you are currently living in Duarte near the 210 corridor, Royal Oaks Park, Duarte High School, or close to City of Hope, Genesis Builders can help you plan and manage your return to Altadena. Our work is focused on rebuilding homes in Altadena, where your property, permits, design standards, and construction process must be handled correctly from the beginning.
Rebuilding after a fire can require architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, insurance coordination, lenders, and contractors. Genesis Builders brings those steps together under one turnkey rebuilding program, so you have one trusted team managing the process for your Altadena home.
Our program is designed to give displaced homeowners a faster, more predictable way forward. We offer pre-approved home designs created for Altadena, financing options through preferred lenders, help 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 help families who are temporarily staying in Duarte move back into a safer, stronger, fire-resistant home in Altadena with a process that is organized, transparent, and built around 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 dangerous ember intrusion can be, especially when wind-driven embers enter attic vents, gaps, decks, eaves, fences, or vulnerable exterior assemblies.
For homeowners currently living in Duarte while planning an Altadena rebuild, this matters. Your next Altadena home should be designed with wildfire resilience built into the structure, exterior materials, openings, site details, and defensible space strategy.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes fire-resistive construction requirements for homes in wildfire-prone areas, including standards for vents, roofing, exterior walls, eaves, and other vulnerable building components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local design and development standards specific to Altadena, helping new homes fit the community while meeting applicable planning expectations.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Sets residential design requirements for scale, massing, setbacks, height, and neighborhood compatibility within unincorporated Los Angeles County communities such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A nationally recognized wildfire resilience standard that addresses ember resistance, defensible space, home hardening, and vulnerable exterior conditions in a more comprehensive way.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 California Building Code Chapter 7A provides important wildfire safety requirements, but it only partially addresses or does not fully address several real-world fire exposure risks, 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 broader approach strengthens the home against ember exposure and can also help improve insurability, which is an important concern for many Altadena homeowners rebuilding after the Eaton Fires.
