If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps displaced Altadena homeowners rebuild in Altadena with a complete turnkey process. Many families who lost homes in the Eaton Fires are now staying in Sierra Madre, whether in a rental near Sierra Madre Village, an extended-stay arrangement, or with family close to the foothills while they plan their return home.
Genesis Builders builds homes in Altadena only. If you are currently living in Sierra Madre, our role is to help you move back to your rebuilt home in Altadena with a clear plan, a coordinated team, and a construction process designed for homeowners recovering from catastrophic loss.
Our turnkey approach gives you one trusted team responsible for the full rebuild process. You do not have to separately manage architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors. Genesis Builders coordinates design, engineering, permitting, pricing, construction management, and warranty support so your Altadena rebuild can move forward with fewer delays and clearer accountability.
Our pre-approved home designs create a valuable head start. Instead of beginning with a custom design from scratch, you can select from plans already developed for Altadena, then personalize finishes and selected features while keeping pricing and scheduling transparent.
Genesis Builders also helps homeowners review their insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding. Financing is available through preferred lenders, and our program includes pre-approved home plans, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
For families temporarily living in Sierra Madre after the Eaton Fires, the goal is simple: rebuild safely in Altadena and create a clear path home.
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 find vulnerable openings, combustible attachments, or weak points around the home.
Our Altadena rebuilds are designed around hardened assemblies, ignition-resistant materials, and construction details that reduce wildfire exposure. We build with the requirements that apply to Altadena, then add additional protections based on the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes fire-resistant construction requirements for homes in wildfire-prone areas, including exterior walls, roofs, vents, eaves, and other vulnerable components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local design and development rules that help new homes fit Altadena’s neighborhood character while meeting applicable rebuilding standards.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Sets county-level residential design standards related to scale, massing, setbacks, and compatibility for new homes and rebuilds.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A science-based wildfire resilience standard that addresses ember resistance, defensible space, noncombustible zones, and construction details beyond minimum code.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A partially addresses or leaves gaps around several important wildfire exposure points, including fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs. Genesis Builders closes those gaps by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard wherever applicable, which may also help improve insurability for homeowners rebuilding in Altadena.
