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 currently staying in Norwalk, whether in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with relatives near places like Norwalk Town Square, the 605 and 105 corridors, Cerritos College, or Norwalk-La Mirada school communities. Norwalk may be where you are living right now, but our work is focused on helping you return home to Altadena.
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. For displaced Altadena families currently in Norwalk, we provide a complete turnkey rebuilding program designed to reduce the number of decisions, vendors, and moving parts you have to manage during an already difficult time.
Instead of separately coordinating architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, consultants, and contractors, you can work with one trusted team that owns the full process from planning through construction. Our pre-approved home designs give Altadena homeowners a head start, helping move the rebuild forward with more clarity around design, scope, budget, and schedule.
Our turnkey program includes financing available through preferred lenders, help 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.
If you are living in Norwalk because your Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fires, Genesis Builders can help you plan a clear path back to a new fire-resistant home in Altadena.
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 they enter vents, gaps, roof edges, decks, fences, and other vulnerable areas around a home.
Our fire-resistant rebuilding program is for Altadena properties. If you are temporarily living in Norwalk while waiting to rebuild, the fire-hardening standards apply to the new home we build for you in Altadena.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-resistance standards for exterior walls, roofs, vents, windows, doors, decking, and other building components in fire-prone areas.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Guides how homes in Altadena should fit the community’s neighborhood character, scale, setbacks, and design expectations.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards Ordinance: Provides residential design rules that support appropriate massing, site planning, and architectural compatibility in unincorporated Los Angeles County communities such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A science-based wildfire resilience standard focused on ember resistance, defensible space, roof and gutter protection, vents, attachments, decks, fencing connections, and other high-risk ignition points.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 California Building Code Chapter 7A partially addresses some wildfire risks and leaves other areas less fully covered, 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, which can also help improve insurability as carriers evaluate wildfire risk more closely.
Choose From Pre-Approved Designs Built for Altadena
Genesis Builders offers a curated collection of pre-approved designs created specifically for rebuilding in Altadena.

- SoCal Traditional: A familiar Southern California look with balanced proportions, warm exterior materials, and flexible family-friendly floor plans.
- Mediterranean Revival: Stucco finishes, low-pitched rooflines, arched details, and timeless character suited to established Altadena neighborhoods.
- Foothill Craftsman: A grounded architectural style with deep eaves, detailed trim, covered entries, and a natural connection to the San Gabriel foothills.
- California Bungalow: A compact, efficient, and welcoming design style with classic porch elements and practical modern interiors.
