If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild fire-resistant replacement homes on their Altadena lots. If your family lost a home in the Eaton Fires and is currently living in Pico Rivera, whether in a rental, extended-stay hotel, or with relatives, our role is to help you return home to Altadena with a clear, managed rebuild plan.
Many Altadena families found temporary stability in Pico Rivera after the fires, including areas near Smith Park, Rio Hondo, and the city’s established residential neighborhoods. Pico Rivera may be where daily life is happening right now, but the rebuilding work we provide is for your Altadena property.
Your temporary address may be in Pico Rivera, but your rebuild plan is focused on getting your family back to Altadena.
Genesis Builders offers a complete turnkey solution so you do not have to coordinate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors separately. Our team manages the process from planning through completion, giving you one accountable partner and a more organized path forward during an already difficult recovery.
Our rebuilding program includes financing options through preferred lenders, support reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, pre-approved home plans to choose from, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Because our home designs have already been prepared for Altadena rebuilds, your project can begin with a meaningful head start. Instead of starting from a blank page while living temporarily in Pico Rivera, you can choose a plan built for the Altadena permitting environment, fire safety expectations, and neighborhood character.
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 dangerous ember intrusion can be, especially when wind-driven embers reach vents, decks, fences, exterior openings, and vulnerable connections around a structure.
For displaced Altadena homeowners currently staying in Pico Rivera, rebuilding is about more than replacing square footage. It is about returning to Altadena with a stronger, safer home designed for the wildfire conditions that affect foothill communities.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address wildfire-resistant construction methods for homes in fire hazard areas, including exterior materials, vents, roofing, and other building components that help reduce ignition risk.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These standards help guide how homes are designed within Altadena’s community context, including compatibility with local development expectations and neighborhood character.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These county standards support quality residential design, site planning, and development consistency for homes built in unincorporated Los Angeles County communities such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This technical standard provides a more comprehensive wildfire resilience framework, including protection against ember exposure, defensible space vulnerabilities, and material choices that go beyond basic code compliance.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC 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 Altadena homes to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard.
This higher standard gives returning Altadena homeowners a more complete approach to fire resistance and may also help improve insurability. If you are managing insurance questions while temporarily living in Pico Rivera, our team can help you understand how resilient construction standards may fit into your overall rebuilding plan for Altadena.
