If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
If your Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fires and you are now living temporarily in El Monte, Genesis Builders can help you plan and complete your rebuild back in Altadena. Many Altadena families relocated to El Monte after the fires, staying in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with relatives in the San Gabriel Valley while they work through insurance, financing, permitting, and design decisions.
Genesis Builders builds fire-resistant homes in Altadena only. El Monte is where many displaced Altadena homeowners are living right now as they prepare to return home. Whether you are staying near Valley Boulevard, close to the I-10 or I-605, or with family elsewhere in El Monte, our role is to help you rebuild your permanent home in Altadena.
Our turnkey approach gives you one trusted team to manage the full rebuilding process. You do not have to separately coordinate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors. Genesis Builders manages the process from planning through construction, helping you make informed decisions and move forward with a clear path.
Our rebuilding program includes financing options available through preferred lenders, support reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, pre-approved home plans to choose from, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
For displaced Altadena homeowners currently living in El Monte, our goal is simple: help you rebuild safely, clearly, and efficiently 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 quickly wind-driven embers can threaten homes, especially through vulnerable openings, vents, roof edges, exterior materials, fences, decks, and other connected structures.
For families currently staying in El Monte while planning an Altadena rebuild, this means your new home in Altadena can be designed with wildfire resilience from the start. Our construction work is focused in Altadena, where the rebuilding requirements and fire exposure conditions must be addressed carefully.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address wildfire-resistant construction in designated fire hazard areas, including requirements for roofing, vents, exterior walls, eaves, windows, and other exterior components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards help guide compatible residential rebuilding in Altadena, including site planning, design character, and neighborhood-sensitive development.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These standards establish residential design expectations for eligible projects in Los Angeles County, including massing, setbacks, garage placement, and neighborhood compatibility.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This science-based standard focuses on reducing ignition risk from embers, flames, and radiant heat by addressing the home, attached features, and the defensible space immediately around the structure.
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 in a wildfire, including fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs. Genesis Builders closes those gaps in Altadena by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard.
This higher standard can also support improved insurability. While insurance availability and pricing depend on each carrier and policy, a home built to recognized wildfire resilience standards may give homeowners stronger documentation when discussing coverage with insurers.
