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 relocated temporarily to San Gabriel, whether in rental homes, extended-stay hotels, or with relatives near areas such as the Mission District, Valley Boulevard, or local school communities. If you are staying in San Gabriel while planning your return to Altadena, our role is to make the Altadena rebuild process clearer, faster, and easier to manage.
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. San Gabriel is where many displaced Altadena families are living right now, but our rebuilding program is designed specifically to help you return to your Altadena property with a fire-resistant new home.
Our work is focused on rebuilding Altadena homes, while making the process easier for Altadena families who are temporarily living in San Gabriel.
Rebuilding after a total loss can quickly become overwhelming when homeowners must coordinate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, contractors, lenders, and insurance documents on their own. Genesis Builders provides one trusted team to manage the full process from planning through construction, with clear communication and a defined path forward.
Our turnkey Altadena rebuild program includes financing options 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.
Our pre-approved home designs also give Altadena homeowners a meaningful head start. Instead of beginning from a blank page, you can select a home plan that has already been designed and engineered for efficient development in Altadena, then personalize key features to fit your family’s needs.
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 ember intrusion can be, especially when wind-driven embers enter vulnerable areas such as vents, roof edges, decks, fencing connections, and other exterior conditions around the home.
Our Altadena homes are designed around multiple layers of wildfire resilience, including the following standards:
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-area construction requirements for exterior walls, roofs, vents, windows, decking, and other components exposed to fire and embers.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local design and development rules that help new homes fit Altadena’s neighborhood character and site conditions.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards Ordinance: Sets residential design expectations for homes in unincorporated Los Angeles County, including areas such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A science-based wildfire resilience standard focused on reducing ignition risks from embers, direct flame contact, and nearby combustible materials.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A includes important wildfire protections, but it only partially addresses or may not fully address certain real-world risk areas such as 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 supports a more complete fire-resistant rebuild and may also help improve insurability by showing that the home was designed with recognized wildfire resilience practices from the start.
Choose From Pre-Approved Designs Built for Altadena
Genesis Builders offers a curated collection of pre-approved home designs created for Altadena homeowners rebuilding after the Eaton Fires. These homes are already designed, engineered, and approved for fast-tracked development in Altadena, helping families move forward without the delays that often come with fully custom design.
Available plans 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 layouts. Each design is planned for modern living, wildfire resilience, and compatibility with Altadena’s residential character.
Homeowners can choose from four architectural styles:
- SoCal Traditional: A timeless Southern California look with balanced proportions, welcoming entries, and flexible interior layouts.
- Mediterranean Revival: A warm, classic style with stucco finishes, shaped rooflines, and details inspired by historic California architecture.
- Foothill Craftsman: A grounded, detail-rich design that reflects the character of Altadena’s foothill neighborhoods with natural textures and strong curb appeal.
- California Bungalow: A comfortable, approachable style with efficient floor plans, inviting front elevations, and a familiar Altadena feel.
You can customize interior finishes, select materials, and consider optional ADU configurations where appropriate for your Altadena lot. All selections are managed with guaranteed pricing, so you can make decisions with a clear understanding of cost before construction begins.
