If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. Many families who lost their homes have temporarily relocated to Montebello, including rentals, extended-stay hotels, and homes with relatives near areas such as North Montebello, Montebello Town Center, and the neighborhoods around Schurr High School. Montebello may be where you are living right now, but your rebuild is in Altadena. Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. We do not build homes in Montebello.
For displaced Altadena families currently staying in Montebello, we provide a complete turnkey path back home. Our process is designed to reduce the burden of managing separate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors. One trusted team owns the process from early planning through completion, so your rebuild has clear accountability, coordinated communication, and fewer gaps between design, permitting, and construction.
Our pre-approved home designs give Altadena homeowners a head start. These plans are already developed for fast-tracked rebuilding in Altadena, helping families move forward with more certainty while they continue living temporarily in Montebello.
Genesis Builders can also help you review your insurance policy to better understand what may be covered for rebuilding, introduce financing options through preferred lenders, and guide you through plan selection, permitting, and construction management. Our program includes pre-approved home plans to choose from, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
If you are currently in Montebello because your Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fires, our role is to help you rebuild safely, efficiently, and confidently in Altadena.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every Genesis Builders home is built in Altadena to meet or exceed California’s strictest fire safety requirements. The Eaton Fires showed how quickly wind-driven embers can enter vulnerable areas of a home, including vents, roof edges, openings, decks, fences, and other exterior connections. Our approach responds directly to those risks with fire-resistant design, materials, and construction practices.
Genesis Builders builds in Altadena, where these standards are applied to your replacement home. Montebello is only where some displaced homeowners are living temporarily while planning their return to Altadena.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address wildfire-resistant construction in fire hazard areas, including ignition-resistant materials, roofing, vents, exterior walls, windows, and related building components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards guide residential development in Altadena, including neighborhood compatibility, site planning, massing, and community design expectations.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These standards regulate residential design quality, setbacks, scale, parking, and related development requirements for homes in unincorporated Los Angeles County communities such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This science-based standard focuses on reducing wildfire ignition risk through ember-resistant detailing, defensible space principles, Class A roofing, noncombustible zones, and protection of vulnerable exterior features.
Building to code is the floor, rather than the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A provides important wildfire protection, yet it has limited or incomplete coverage for several elements that can contribute to home ignition, 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, creating a stronger fire-resistant strategy around the entire structure and supporting improved insurability.
