If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. If your family is currently living in South El Monte after losing your Altadena home in the Eaton Fires, we can help you plan, permit, and rebuild your new fire-resistant home back in Altadena.
Many Altadena families relocated to nearby communities after the fires, including South El Monte, where they may be staying in rentals, extended-stay housing, or with relatives near areas like Whittier Narrows, the Rio Hondo, or South El Monte High School. South El Monte is the place many families are living temporarily while they wait for a clear path home. Genesis Builders does not build in South El Monte. Our work is focused on rebuilding homes in Altadena.
If your family is living in South El Monte today, our role is to help you rebuild your home in Altadena and return to the community you lost.
Rebuilding after a catastrophic fire can require architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, lenders, insurance coordination, and construction teams. Genesis Builders brings these pieces together under one trusted turnkey program, so you are not left managing each professional separately while also trying to recover from the Eaton Fires.
Our pre-approved Altadena home designs give homeowners a valuable head start. You can choose a plan that has already been designed and engineered for efficient development, then move forward with a fixed price, set schedule, and full-service construction management. We also provide introductions to preferred lenders, help review your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, and include a 2-10 year home warranty for added protection after move-in.
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 vents, collect near openings, ignite vulnerable exterior materials, or spread through adjoining structures and landscape features.
Our Altadena rebuild program is shaped around the standards that matter most for homes in a high fire-risk foothill community:
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-related construction rules for exterior walls, roofs, vents, eaves, openings, and other building components in fire-prone areas.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Helps ensure rebuilt homes align with Altadena’s local planning, neighborhood character, site layout, and community design expectations.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Provides residential design requirements for scale, setbacks, massing, and compatibility within Los Angeles County communities such as Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: Adds a higher level of wildfire resilience through detailed measures for ember resistance, defensible space, exterior materials, attachments, and property-level risk reduction.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A leaves important wildfire vulnerabilities only partially addressed or unaddressed, 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, which strengthens the home as a complete system and can also help improve insurability.
