If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps displaced Altadena homeowners who are currently living in Signal Hill plan and complete their return home. Many families relocated to Signal Hill after the Eaton Fires, staying in rentals, extended-stay hotels, or with family while they wait for the right path forward on their Altadena rebuild.
Our work is focused only on rebuilding homes in Altadena. If you are temporarily staying near Signal Hill Park, the Hilltop area, or elsewhere in Signal Hill while your Altadena property is being prepared for reconstruction, Genesis Builders can manage the rebuilding process for your Altadena home from start to finish.
After a catastrophic loss, coordinating architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, contractors, lenders, and insurance documentation can become overwhelming. Genesis Builders provides one trusted team to own the entire process, so your rebuild is organized, accountable, and easier to manage while you are away from Altadena.
Our turnkey rebuilding program includes pre-approved home plans, financing available through preferred lenders, help reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Because our curated designs are already developed for Altadena, you can move forward with greater confidence and a meaningful head start compared with starting every design, engineering, and permitting step from scratch.
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 they enter vents, collect near vulnerable materials, ignite exterior components, or move from nearby structures and landscape features toward the home.
Genesis Builders builds Altadena homes with a layered fire-resistant approach that addresses the home exterior, ignition-resistant materials, ember protection, defensible design details, and wildfire hardening strategies.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These standards address wildfire exposure in designated fire hazard areas, including exterior walls, roofs, vents, openings, decks, and other building components that can be vulnerable to flames and embers.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These local standards guide how homes in Altadena should fit the surrounding community, including design, scale, setbacks, and neighborhood compatibility.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: These standards help regulate residential design quality, site planning, and neighborhood character for homes built in unincorporated Los Angeles County areas such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This science-based standard focuses on reducing wildfire ignition risk through ember-resistant construction, noncombustible zones, upgraded exterior materials, and defensible details around the entire home.
Building to code is the floor. Genesis Builders uses the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard to provide a higher level of wildfire resilience for Altadena homeowners returning after the Eaton Fires.
The 2025 CBC 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, which can also help improve insurability by demonstrating a stronger wildfire-hardening approach.
