If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
If your Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fires and you are currently living in Maywood, Genesis Builders can help you plan your return home to Altadena. Many families who left Altadena after the fires are now staying in Maywood rentals, extended-stay housing, or with relatives in Southeast Los Angeles while they wait for the right rebuilding path.
To be clear, Genesis Builders builds homes in Altadena only. Maywood is where some displaced Altadena homeowners are staying temporarily while their Altadena rebuild is planned, permitted, and completed. Our work is focused on rebuilding your home on your Altadena property.
Living away from home near places like Slauson Avenue, Atlantic Boulevard, or Maywood Riverfront Park can make the rebuilding process feel even more complicated. Genesis Builders provides a complete turnkey solution so you do not have to manage architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, insurance questions, lenders, and contractors separately.
Our program is designed to give displaced Altadena homeowners a clear path forward, with pre-approved home plans, financing available through preferred lenders, insurance policy review support to help identify what may be covered for rebuilding, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Our goal is to help families who are temporarily living in Maywood return to Altadena with a safer, stronger, fire-resistant home and a rebuilding process they can understand from the start.
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 destructive wind-driven embers can be, especially when embers enter vents, collect near combustible materials, or reach vulnerable exterior details around roofs, decks, fences, and openings.
Our homes are built in Altadena with a fire-resistant approach that addresses both code requirements and real-world wildfire behavior. For Altadena homeowners currently staying in Maywood, this means your rebuild is planned for the risks of returning to the foothills, rather than the conditions of your temporary housing location.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address wildfire exposure for homes in fire hazard areas, including ignition-resistant construction, roofing, vents, exterior walls, and other building components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards help guide how homes in Altadena are designed and rebuilt so they fit community expectations and local development rules.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These standards address residential design quality, neighborhood compatibility, site planning, and related requirements for homes in unincorporated Los Angeles County communities such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This nationally recognized standard focuses on reducing wildfire vulnerability through a complete system of defensible design, ember-resistant detailing, material choices, and home hardening strategies.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 California Building Code Chapter 7A only partially addresses or does not fully address several important wildfire-related 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 for Altadena rebuilds.
This higher standard can also help improve insurability by showing that the home has been designed and constructed with recognized wildfire mitigation practices. For families staying in Maywood while rebuilding in Altadena, this creates a stronger foundation for long-term safety, durability, and confidence when returning home.
Choose From Pre-Approved Designs Built for Altadena
Genesis Builders offers a curated collection of homes that are already designed, engineered, and approved for fast-tracked development in Altadena. These plans are intended for Altadena properties affected by the Eaton Fires, including homeowners who are temporarily living in Maywood while they prepare to rebuild.
Our pre-approved designs range from approximately 1,250 to 2,200 square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3.5 bathrooms, and both single-story and two-story options. Each plan is created for efficient permitting, clear pricing, and fire-resistant construction in Altadena.
- SoCal Traditional: A clean, familiar Southern California design with balanced rooflines, comfortable proportions, and timeless curb appeal.
- Mediterranean Revival: A warm architectural style with stucco finishes, tile roof influences, arched details, and a classic California presence.
- Foothill Craftsman: A style suited to Altadena’s foothill character, with inviting porches, textured materials, and grounded architectural details.
- California Bungalow: A compact, practical, and charming design with efficient layouts, human-scale details, and a relaxed residential feel.
You can personalize interior finishes, select materials, and consider optional ADU configurations where appropriate for your Altadena lot. Pricing is guaranteed, so you can make decisions with a clear understanding of cost before construction begins.
These homes are available for rebuilding in Altadena. They are not Maywood construction plans, and Genesis Builders does not build homes in Maywood. Maywood is simply where many Altadena families are staying while they prepare to come home.
