If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders offers a complete turnkey rebuilding solution for Altadena homeowners who lost their homes in the Eaton Fires and are currently living in Glendale while they plan their return. Our rebuilding work is for homes in Altadena only. Glendale is where many displaced families are staying temporarily, including in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with relatives near areas such as Montrose, Verdugo Woodlands, Adams Hill, or Crescenta Highlands.
For families managing school routines, work commutes, insurance calls, and the uncertainty of temporary housing in Glendale, the rebuilding process in Altadena can feel difficult to coordinate. Genesis Builders provides one trusted team to own the full path forward, so you are not left managing architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors separately.
Our turnkey program for your Altadena rebuild includes help reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, financing options available through preferred lenders, pre-approved home plans to choose from, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Because our home designs are already prepared for Altadena development, families currently living in Glendale can begin planning with a clearer timeline and fewer unknowns. The goal is simple: help you move from temporary housing in Glendale back into a safe, durable, fire-resistant home in Altadena.
Genesis Builders helps displaced Altadena homeowners create a clear, managed path from temporary housing back to a rebuilt home 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 wind-driven embers can enter vulnerable areas of a home, ignite nearby materials, and spread through a property even when direct flame contact is limited. Our Altadena homes are built with that reality in mind.
For homeowners currently living in Glendale while preparing to rebuild in Altadena, this means your new home is planned around recognized wildfire resilience standards from the start.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address wildfire exposure in the wildland-urban interface, including ignition-resistant materials, vents, roofing, exterior walls, and other building features intended to reduce fire vulnerability.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards help guide how rebuilt homes in Altadena fit the character, scale, and development expectations of the community.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These requirements help regulate residential design quality, neighborhood compatibility, site planning, and construction standards for homes built in applicable Los Angeles County areas, including Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This nationally recognized standard focuses on reducing wildfire risk through ember-resistant construction, defensible space principles, noncombustible materials, and practical details that help limit ignition points.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A only 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 for Altadena rebuilds by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard.
This higher standard is especially important for families living in Glendale while trying to make confident decisions about rebuilding in Altadena. A home designed to reduce ember intrusion and ignition risk may also help improve long-term insurability, which has become a major concern for homeowners returning to fire-affected areas.

- Foothill Craftsman: A design inspired by the foothill setting of Altadena, with welcoming porches, natural materials, and handcrafted visual details.
