If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. If your Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fires and you are currently staying in Hermosa Beach while you plan your return, our team can help you move forward with a complete turnkey rebuild in Altadena.
Many Altadena families relocated to Hermosa Beach after the fires, often into short-term rentals, extended-stay housing, or family homes near the South Bay coast, Pier Avenue, Hermosa Valley, or local schools. Hermosa Beach may be where you are living for now, but the home we help you rebuild is your Altadena home.
Our role is to make the Altadena rebuilding process clearer, more coordinated, and more predictable for families who are managing major loss while living away from home.
Genesis Builders gives displaced Altadena homeowners one trusted team to manage the entire rebuild. Instead of coordinating separate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, consultants, and contractors, you work with one team responsible for the full process from planning through completion.
Our turnkey rebuilding program includes financing options 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.
Our pre-approved home designs give Altadena homeowners a head start. They are created to support faster development in Altadena, reduce uncertainty, and help families make decisions with greater confidence while they are temporarily living elsewhere, including Hermosa Beach.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every home Genesis Builders constructs is built in Altadena and is designed to meet or exceed California’s strictest fire safety requirements. The Eaton Fires showed how dangerous ember intrusion can be, especially when wind-driven embers reach vulnerable vents, eaves, decks, fences, openings, and exterior materials.
For Altadena rebuilds, our homes are designed around multiple layers of fire-resistant construction and defensible detailing. These standards guide our approach:
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-related construction requirements for homes in fire-prone areas, including ignition-resistant materials, ember-resistant vents, exterior wall protection, roofing, and openings.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local design and development standards that apply to rebuilding in Altadena, helping new homes fit the community while meeting required planning criteria.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Sets residential design requirements for Los Angeles County, including standards that affect massing, setbacks, neighborhood compatibility, and overall residential form.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: Provides a higher wildfire resilience framework focused on reducing ignition risk from embers, direct flame contact, and radiant heat exposure.
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 homeowners by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard. This approach strengthens the home beyond minimum code requirements and may also help improve insurability, which is an important consideration for families rebuilding after the Eaton Fires.
These fire-resistant standards apply to the homes we build in Altadena. Hermosa Beach is only the temporary location where some displaced Altadena homeowners are staying while their Altadena rebuild is planned and completed.

You can personalize interior finishes and select optional ADU configurations where appropriate for your Altadena lot and program goals. Pricing remains guaranteed, helping you make informed decisions without the uncertainty that often comes with custom rebuilding.
All design, permitting, and construction planning is focused on rebuilding your home in Altadena. Genesis Builders does not build homes in Hermosa Beach.
