If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps displaced Altadena homeowners rebuild fire-resistant homes on their Altadena lots. Many families who lost homes in the Eaton Fires are now living temporarily in Gardena, including in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with relatives near areas such as Gardena High School, Rowley Park, Western Avenue, or the South Bay corridor. Gardena may be where you are staying right now, but your rebuild with Genesis Builders is for your home in Altadena.
Our turnkey program is designed for families who need a clear path back to Altadena without having to manage every professional separately. With Genesis Builders, one trusted team owns the full process, so you do not have to juggle architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors on your own while you are living away from your neighborhood.
We help you move forward with pre-approved home designs created for Altadena, financing available through preferred lenders, insurance policy review support to help identify what may be covered for rebuilding, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Genesis Builders is here to help Altadena homeowners currently living in Gardena return home with a structured, transparent rebuilding process.
Our goal is to reduce uncertainty during a difficult season and give you one accountable team from planning through completion of your new Altadena home.
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. For families temporarily living in Gardena after the Eaton Fires, this means your new home back in Altadena is planned with wildfire resilience at the center of the design and construction process.
The Eaton Fires showed how dangerous ember intrusion can be, especially when wind-driven embers enter vulnerable openings, collect near combustible materials, or ignite adjoining structures and exterior features. Our Altadena rebuilds are developed to address those risks with stronger assemblies, safer details, and proven wildfire mitigation standards.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These requirements establish wildfire-resistant construction standards for exterior materials, vents, roofing, decking, walls, and related building components in fire hazard areas.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These standards guide compatible development within Altadena, helping new homes respect local neighborhood character, scale, and site planning expectations.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards Ordinance: The RDS Ordinance addresses residential design quality, massing, setbacks, and other planning details that apply to new homes in unincorporated Los Angeles County communities such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This nationally recognized standard focuses on reducing wildfire risk through defensible design, ember-resistant details, noncombustible materials, and stronger protection around the home and its immediate surroundings.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 California Building Code Chapter 7A partially addresses or does not fully address several important wildfire exposure areas, 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, which can also help improve insurability for homeowners returning from temporary housing in Gardena to a rebuilt home in Altadena.
