If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders rebuilds homes in Altadena only. If your Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fires and your family is currently living in Santa Monica while you plan your return, we can help you move through the rebuilding process with one coordinated team.
Many Altadena families temporarily relocated to Santa Monica after the fires, including rentals, extended-stay hotels, and family homes near places such as Ocean Park, Mid-City, Pico, Wilshire-Montana, and North of Montana. Santa Monica may be where daily life is happening right now, but the goal is returning home to Altadena. Genesis Builders is focused on making that Altadena rebuild clearer, faster, and easier to manage.
Our role is to help displaced Altadena homeowners rebuild in Altadena while their families are temporarily based in Santa Monica or another community during recovery.
Rebuilding after a catastrophic fire can quickly become overwhelming when homeowners are expected to separately manage architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, lenders, insurance questions, and contractors. Genesis Builders provides a complete turnkey rebuilding solution so one trusted team owns the process from planning through construction completion.
Our 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, a fixed price, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty. Our pre-approved designs give Altadena homeowners a head start by reducing uncertainty early in the process and helping move the project forward with fewer delays.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every home Genesis Builders constructs 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 near vulnerable exterior materials, or ignite attached structures around the home.
Our homes are built with fire resistance as a core requirement from the start. For Altadena rebuilds, we account for the following standards:
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-resistant construction requirements for homes in fire hazard areas, including ignition-resistant materials, exterior wall protection, roofing, vents, and related building components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Guides local design and development expectations specific to Altadena, helping rebuilt homes fit the community while meeting applicable safety and planning rules.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Sets residential design requirements for scale, massing, setbacks, neighborhood compatibility, and related standards within Los Angeles County jurisdiction.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: Provides a rigorous wildfire resilience framework focused on ember resistance, defensible space, roof and gutter details, vents, decks, attachments, and vulnerable exterior conditions.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A partially addresses or does not fully 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 helps reduce ignition risk and supports improved insurability, which matters for families rebuilding in Altadena after the Eaton Fires. For homeowners temporarily staying in Santa Monica, our team helps translate these technical requirements into a clear rebuilding plan for the home you are returning to in Altadena.
