If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders provides a complete turnkey rebuilding solution for Altadena homeowners who lost their homes in the Eaton Fires and are currently living in San Marino. Many families have temporarily relocated near places like Lacy Park, Huntington Drive, the Mission District, the Huntington Library area, or close to San Marino schools while they plan their return to Altadena.
Our building work is focused only in Altadena. San Marino is the place many displaced Altadena residents are staying now in rentals, extended-stay housing, or with family. Genesis Builders helps those families rebuild their homes in Altadena and move back with a clear plan, a defined budget, and one accountable team managing the process.
Rebuilding after a fire can quickly become overwhelming when homeowners are expected to coordinate architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, lenders, insurance representatives, and contractors on their own. Genesis Builders simplifies that process by managing the major steps under one turnkey program, from plan selection and permitting through construction and warranty support.
Our pre-approved home designs give Altadena homeowners a valuable head start. Instead of beginning from a blank page, you can choose from homes that have already been designed and engineered for efficient rebuilding in Altadena. With financing available through preferred lenders, help reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, pre-approved home plans, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty, our goal is to make the path back to Altadena as clear as possible.
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 embers enter vents, collect at vulnerable building edges, ignite nearby combustible materials, or expose weak points around openings and attachments.
Our homes are built with a layered approach to wildfire resilience, using required codes as the starting point and enhanced fire-resistant practices where additional protection is needed.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire construction standards for homes in designated fire hazard areas, including requirements for ignition-resistant materials, exterior walls, vents, roofing, eaves, and other vulnerable exterior components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local development and design standards that guide how homes are rebuilt in Altadena, helping new construction fit the character and requirements of the community.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards Ordinance: Sets residential design expectations for qualifying projects in Los Angeles County, including standards that affect form, scale, site planning, and neighborhood compatibility.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A science-based wildfire resilience standard focused on reducing ignition risk from embers, direct flame contact, and radiant heat through stronger materials, defensible details, and protected vulnerable areas.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A addresses many important wildfire construction items, but it only partially addresses or does not address several areas that can matter during a wildfire, 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 gives homeowners a more complete fire-resistant strategy and can also help support insurance conversations by improving the home’s wildfire resilience profile.
