If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps Altadena homeowners rebuild on their Altadena property after the Eaton Fires. Many families who lost homes in Altadena are now staying temporarily in Topanga, whether in rentals near Topanga Canyon, extended-stay housing, or with relatives while they wait for a clear path home. Our work is focused on rebuilding fire-resistant homes in Altadena, so families currently living in Topanga can move back to the community they lost.
Rebuilding after a wildfire can involve architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, lenders, insurance adjusters, and contractors. Genesis Builders brings those pieces together under one turnkey process, giving you one trusted team responsible for guiding the project from early planning through move-in.
Our pre-approved Altadena home designs give displaced homeowners a faster starting point than a fully custom design process. These homes are already planned for efficient development in Altadena, with fire-resistant construction details, code compliance, and practical layouts for families returning to their original neighborhood.
For Altadena homeowners currently living in Topanga, our turnkey rebuilding program includes financing options through preferred lenders, help reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, pre-approved home plans, fixed pricing, a set construction schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Our goal is to make the path back to Altadena clear, organized, and accountable, from the first insurance review through the final walk-through.
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 dangerous ember intrusion can be, especially when embers enter through vents, gaps, roof edges, exterior openings, and vulnerable attachment points around the home.
For families currently living in Topanga while planning their Altadena rebuild, this level of fire-resistant design is central to getting back home with greater confidence. Our homes are built for Altadena’s wildfire environment and are aligned with the standards that matter most for long-term resilience.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-related construction requirements for exterior materials, vents, roofs, eaves, windows, and other building components in wildfire-prone areas.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local design and development standards that help ensure new homes fit the character, scale, and planning requirements of Altadena.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards (RDS) Ordinance: Sets residential design requirements for homes in unincorporated Los Angeles County, including Altadena, to support quality construction and neighborhood compatibility.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A leading wildfire resilience standard focused on reducing ignition risks from embers, direct flame contact, defensible space conditions, and vulnerable exterior materials.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 California Building Code Chapter 7A only partially addresses, or does not fully address, important wildfire vulnerabilities such as fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs. Genesis Builders closes those gaps by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard for homes in Altadena.
This higher standard helps reduce risk and may also improve insurability by showing that the home was rebuilt with recognized wildfire mitigation practices beyond minimum code requirements.

Available plans range from 1,250 to 2,200 square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3.5 bathrooms, and both single-story and two-story options. Each design is planned for practical living, efficient construction, Altadena permitting, and modern wildfire resilience.
- SoCal Traditional: A familiar Southern California home style with balanced proportions, warm exterior materials, and timeless curb appeal suited to Altadena neighborhoods.
- Mediterranean Revival: A classic design with stucco exteriors, arched details, low-pitched roof forms, and a refined California character.
- Foothill Craftsman: A style inspired by Altadena’s foothill setting, with inviting porches, detailed trim, natural textures, and a grounded residential feel.
