If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. If your family is currently living in San Fernando in a rental, extended-stay hotel, or with relatives while you plan your return home, our role is to make the Altadena rebuilding process clearer, more organized, and more manageable.
Many Altadena families relocated to San Fernando after the fires because it offered access to familiar parts of the San Gabriel Valley, nearby schools, family support, and temporary housing options near places like Maclay Avenue, Las Palmas Park, and the San Fernando Mall area. Genesis Builders does not build homes in San Fernando. We work with displaced Altadena homeowners who are staying there now and want to rebuild on their Altadena property.
Genesis Builders builds in Altadena and helps displaced Altadena families currently living in San Fernando return to a stronger, safer home in their original community.
Our turnkey rebuilding program is designed to reduce the burden on homeowners who are already managing the stress of recovery. Instead of coordinating architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors separately, you work with one trusted team responsible for the full process from planning through final construction.
Genesis Builders provides a complete pathway for rebuilding in Altadena, including financing options through preferred lenders, insurance policy review to help identify 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.
Our pre-approved home designs also give Altadena homeowners a head start. Because the plans are already designed and engineered for Altadena rebuilds, the process can move forward with greater clarity and fewer unknowns than a fully custom design started from scratch.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every home Genesis Builders constructs 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, eaves, gaps, decks, fences, and attached structures. Our rebuilding approach focuses on reducing those risks through proven design, materials, detailing, and construction practices.
For Altadena homeowners temporarily living in San Fernando, this means your rebuild is planned for the conditions your Altadena property faces, rather than the temporary location where your family is staying during recovery.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address wildfire-resistant construction in wildland-urban interface areas, including exterior walls, roofs, vents, eaves, windows, and other components exposed to fire and ember risk.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards help guide residential design, site planning, and neighborhood compatibility for homes rebuilt in Altadena.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards Ordinance: The RDS Ordinance establishes design and development standards for residential projects in unincorporated Los Angeles County communities, including Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This voluntary standard goes beyond baseline code by addressing home hardening, defensible space, ember resistance, and risk reduction across the full property.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 California Building Code 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 to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard for Altadena rebuilds.
This higher standard helps create a more resilient home and may also support improved insurability. Insurance decisions remain under the control of carriers and underwriting guidelines, yet building to recognized wildfire-prepared standards can give homeowners stronger documentation when discussing coverage options.

Homeowners can customize interior finishes, fixture packages, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and other details. Optional ADU configurations are also available for eligible Altadena properties. All selections are handled within a guaranteed pricing structure, so you can make decisions with a clear understanding of cost.
These designs are for rebuilding in Altadena only. If your family is currently in San Fernando while waiting to return home, Genesis Builders can help you choose the Altadena plan that best fits your lot, budget, insurance position, and long-term needs.
