If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. Many families who lost homes have temporarily relocated to Hawaiian Gardens, staying in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with relatives while they wait for a clear path back to their Altadena property.
Hawaiian Gardens, a small southeast Los Angeles County city near the 605 corridor, may be where your family is living right now. Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. Our work is focused on helping displaced Altadena residents return to a rebuilt, fire-resistant home on their Altadena lot.
Rebuilding after a catastrophic fire can involve many separate professionals, including architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, insurance contacts, lenders, and contractors. Genesis Builders gives you one trusted team to manage the full process from the first planning meeting through construction and warranty support.
Our turnkey rebuilding program includes financing options through preferred lenders, assistance reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, pre-approved home plans to choose from, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
For families currently staying in Hawaiian Gardens, the goal is to make the Altadena rebuild clear, organized, and manageable so you can focus on returning home.
Our pre-approved home designs create a valuable head start. Instead of beginning with a blank page, you can choose from plans already developed for Altadena rebuilding, then make finish selections and approved customizations with guidance from our team.
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 wind-driven embers can enter vulnerable areas of a home, ignite nearby materials, and spread rapidly through a neighborhood. Fire-resistant rebuilding must address the structure, the exterior envelope, the surrounding materials, and the small details that affect ember intrusion.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-resistant construction standards for homes in fire hazard areas, including requirements for roofing, vents, exterior walls, eaves, windows, decking, and other exterior components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local design and development standards that help guide rebuilding in Altadena while supporting neighborhood character, site planning, and compliance with community-specific rules.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards Ordinance: Sets residential design requirements for projects in Los Angeles County, including standards that affect building form, placement, massing, and compatibility with surrounding homes.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A research-based wildfire resilience standard focused on reducing ignition risk from embers, direct flame contact, and radiant heat through improved materials, detailing, defensible space, and home-hardening practices.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A addresses many important wildfire construction elements, yet it only partially addresses or does not fully address certain features that can affect real-world fire performance, 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 approach strengthens the home as a complete system, including the building envelope, attachments, defensible space, and ember-resistant details. Meeting this higher standard may also help improve insurability as carriers continue to evaluate wildfire risk more closely across California.
