If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild fire-resistant homes in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. Many families who lost their homes have temporarily relocated to Malibu, including rentals, extended-stay housing, or staying with family near areas such as Malibu Canyon, Point Dume, or along the coast. Malibu may be where you are living right now, but your rebuild with Genesis Builders is for your Altadena home.
Our construction work is focused only on helping displaced Altadena residents return home to Altadena. We provide a complete turnkey solution so you can manage your rebuild from Malibu without coordinating separate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors on your own.
With Genesis Builders, one trusted team owns the entire process. We help review your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, introduce financing options through preferred lenders, guide you through pre-approved home plans, and manage permitting, scheduling, construction, inspections, and delivery.
Our program includes pre-approved Altadena home designs, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty. For families currently living in Malibu while waiting to return to Altadena, this approach can reduce uncertainty and give you a clearer path back home.
Genesis Builders builds in Altadena only. Malibu is referenced here because many Altadena families are temporarily living there while planning their Altadena rebuild.
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 destructive wind-driven embers can be, especially when embers enter vents, gaps, roof edges, exterior attachments, and vulnerable areas around the home.
For Altadena homeowners currently staying in Malibu, our goal is to help you return to a home in Altadena that is built with wildfire resilience at the center of the design and construction process.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire construction standards for homes in fire hazard areas, including requirements for ignition-resistant materials, vents, roofing, exterior walls, windows, decks, and related assemblies.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Applies local design and development standards specific to Altadena, helping ensure rebuilt homes are compatible with neighborhood character and local planning expectations.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Provides residential design rules that guide massing, site planning, setbacks, height, and exterior design for homes in unincorporated Los Angeles County communities such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A science-based wildfire resilience standard focused on reducing ember ignition risks through defensible space, noncombustible materials, protected openings, and careful detailing of vulnerable home components.
Building to code is the floor, rather than the ceiling, for an Altadena rebuild after the Eaton Fires. The 2025 California Building Code Chapter 7A only partially addresses or does not address several important wildfire exposure areas, including fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs.
Genesis Builders closes those gaps by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard. This higher standard addresses the home and the immediate surroundings as a connected wildfire defense system, which can also help improve long-term insurability for Altadena homeowners returning from temporary housing in Malibu.
