If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders rebuilds homes only in Altadena. If your Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fires and you are currently staying in El Segundo, our role is to help you return home to Altadena with a clear, fully managed rebuilding plan.
Many Altadena families have temporarily relocated to El Segundo after the Eaton Fires, including families staying in rentals, extended-stay hotels near LAX, apartments close to Main Street or Smoky Hollow, or with relatives in the South Bay. El Segundo may be where you are living right now, but the home we help you plan, permit, and build is your replacement home in Altadena.
Genesis Builders offers a complete turnkey solution for displaced Altadena homeowners. Our team manages the entire process so you are not left coordinating architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors on your own while living away from your neighborhood.
Our program is designed to give Altadena homeowners a practical head start. We provide pre-approved home designs, financing options through preferred lenders, help reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Our goal is to make the path from temporary housing in El Segundo back to a completed home in Altadena clear, accountable, and easier to manage.
With one trusted team guiding the process, you can make informed decisions from El Segundo while Genesis Builders coordinates the work required to rebuild in Altadena.
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 quickly wind-driven embers can enter vulnerable areas of a structure, including vents, roof edges, decks, openings, fences, and attached exterior features.
Our Altadena rebuilds are planned around stronger fire-resistant construction from the beginning. We build with the understanding that code compliance is the starting point, and resilient rebuilding requires attention to the details that matter during ember exposure.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address ignition-resistant construction in wildfire-prone areas, including requirements for roofing, vents, exterior walls, windows, decks, and related building components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards guide neighborhood-appropriate rebuilding in Altadena, helping replacement homes fit the community while meeting applicable planning and design expectations.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards Ordinance: The RDS Ordinance establishes residential design requirements for homes in Los Angeles County, including standards that affect massing, setbacks, compatibility, and site planning.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This voluntary wildfire resilience standard goes beyond baseline code by addressing ember-resistant design, defensible space, vulnerable exterior features, and the overall performance of the home and site.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A only partially addresses or does not address several important wildfire vulnerabilities, 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 may also help improve insurability for homeowners rebuilding after the Eaton Fires.
