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 in Altadena are now staying temporarily in Manhattan Beach, including rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with family near areas such as the Tree Section, Sand Section, Hill Section, or around Manhattan Beach schools. Manhattan Beach is the place you may be living right now while you plan your return. Our construction work is focused on rebuilding homes in Altadena.
For displaced homeowners, the rebuilding process can feel difficult to manage from a temporary living situation outside the community. Genesis Builders provides a complete turnkey solution so you can move forward without separately coordinating architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, contractors, and construction managers. One trusted team owns the process from planning through completion of your Altadena home.
Our goal is to help families currently living away from Altadena return to a safer, stronger, fire-resistant home in the community they know.
Genesis Builders offers pre-approved home designs that give your project a head start. These plans are designed for Altadena, engineered for today’s requirements, and organized to help reduce uncertainty during development. We also help review your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, introduce financing options through preferred lenders, provide pre-approved home plans to choose from, and deliver a fixed price with a set schedule.
Our full-service construction management includes permitting coordination, materials planning, site work, build supervision, quality control, and closeout. Each completed home also includes a 2-10 year home warranty for added confidence after you move back to Altadena.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every home Genesis Builders constructs in Altadena is built to meet or exceed California’s strictest fire safety requirements. The Eaton Fires showed how destructive ember intrusion can be, especially when wind-driven embers reach vents, gaps, decks, fencing, landscaping, and other vulnerable areas around a home.
Our fire-resistant building approach is based on the standards that matter most for rebuilding in Altadena:
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-related construction requirements for homes in fire-prone areas, including ignition-resistant materials, exterior wall assemblies, roofing, vents, and other exterior features.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local development standards that shape how homes are designed and rebuilt within Altadena’s neighborhoods.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Sets residential design requirements that support appropriate scale, site planning, and neighborhood compatibility for rebuilding projects.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A rigorous wildfire resilience standard 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 address important wildfire vulnerabilities such as fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs. Genesis Builders closes those gaps by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard wherever applicable, creating a more complete fire-resistant approach for your Altadena rebuild.
This higher standard can also help improve insurability. While insurance decisions remain with carriers and underwriters, a home designed and documented to stronger wildfire resilience standards may give homeowners a better foundation when seeking coverage after rebuilding.
