If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps displaced Altadena homeowners who are currently living in Temple City plan, permit, and rebuild their homes back in Altadena. After the Eaton Fires, many families found temporary housing in Temple City, whether in rentals near Live Oak Park, extended-stay lodging along major corridors, or with relatives near Temple City Unified schools. Temple City may be where you are staying right now, but the home we help you rebuild is your Altadena home.
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. Our turnkey rebuilding program is designed for Altadena homeowners who need one trusted team to manage the path from loss to move-in. Instead of coordinating architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, lenders, insurance contacts, and contractors separately, you can work with one team that owns the full process and keeps the rebuild moving.
Our pre-approved Altadena home designs give families a valuable head start. These plans are already designed and engineered for efficient development in Altadena, helping reduce uncertainty during a time when families need clarity, cost control, and a dependable schedule.
Genesis Builders can help you evaluate the practical steps ahead, including financing options through preferred lenders, review of your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, selection from pre-approved home plans, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
If you are temporarily living in Temple City after losing your Altadena home in the Eaton Fires, our goal is to help you return to Altadena with a safer, stronger, fire-resistant home.
Built to Exceed Every Fire-Resistant Standard in California
Every home Genesis Builders constructs is built in Altadena and 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 in vulnerable corners, ignite fences or decks, or reach combustible materials close to the home.
For Altadena rebuilds, Genesis Builders incorporates multiple layers of wildfire-resilient design and construction standards:
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: These rules address wildfire-resistant construction in the wildland-urban interface, including ignition-resistant materials, protected openings, roof assemblies, vents, eaves, and exterior wall requirements.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: These standards help guide rebuilding in Altadena so homes fit the community’s planning expectations, neighborhood character, and local development requirements.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards Ordinance: The RDS Ordinance establishes design and development standards for residential projects in Los Angeles County, helping ensure that new homes meet applicable county requirements for quality, compatibility, and review.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: This nationally recognized standard focuses on reducing wildfire ignition risk through defensible space, ember-resistant detailing, Class A roofing, noncombustible zones, vent protection, and careful treatment of attachments such as decks and fences.
For Genesis Builders, code is the floor and the full resilience target is higher. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A leaves important areas 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 also helps improve insurability by reducing known wildfire vulnerabilities.
If you are currently staying in Temple City while planning your Altadena rebuild, these standards apply to the new home we build for you in Altadena. Our construction program is focused on helping you return to the community you lost with a home designed for today’s wildfire realities.
