If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
If you lost your Altadena home in the Eaton Fires and are currently living in Whittier, Genesis Builders can help you plan your return home to Altadena. Many Altadena families have temporarily relocated to Whittier, whether in rentals near Uptown Whittier, extended-stay housing, neighborhoods around East Whittier, or with family while they wait for the next step in the rebuilding process.
Genesis Builders builds homes in Altadena. Whittier is where many displaced homeowners are staying right now, and our role is to help those families rebuild on their Altadena property and move back home with clarity, structure, and confidence.
Our turnkey rebuilding program gives Altadena homeowners one trusted team to manage the entire process. Instead of coordinating architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, and contractors separately, you work with Genesis Builders from planning through completion.
We provide a clear path forward with pre-approved home designs, financing options available through preferred lenders, help reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, fixed pricing, a set schedule, and full-service construction management. Every completed home is also backed by a 2-10 year home warranty.
For families temporarily living in Whittier after the Eaton Fires, the goal is clear: rebuild safely in Altadena and return home with a trusted team managing the process from start to finish.
Our pre-approved home plans give you a head start because the designs are already developed for Altadena rebuilding. That means fewer unknowns, a more organized permitting path, and a home designed from the beginning for current fire-resistant standards.
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 combustible materials, or find weak points around roofs, decks, fences, and openings.
Our homes are built with a focus on ember resistance, defensible construction, and long-term durability. We follow the required codes and standards for Altadena rebuilding, and we also apply the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard to close safety gaps that basic code may leave open.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-resistant construction requirements for homes in fire-prone areas, including standards for roofing, vents, exterior walls, windows, doors, and other building components exposed to wildfire risk.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local design and development rules that guide how homes are rebuilt in Altadena, including neighborhood compatibility, site planning, and community-specific standards.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards Ordinance: Sets residential design requirements for scale, massing, setbacks, and neighborhood character so rebuilt homes fit properly within their Altadena setting.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: A rigorous wildfire resilience standard focused on ember intrusion, defensible space, noncombustible materials, and vulnerable exterior features that can contribute to home ignition.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 California Building Code Chapter 7A only partially addresses or does not fully address several important ignition risks, including fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs. Genesis Builders closes those gaps by building to the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard.
This higher standard helps create a more resilient Altadena home and may also improve insurability by demonstrating that the home was rebuilt with advanced wildfire mitigation practices in mind.

Genesis Builders offers a curated collection of pre-approved home designs created specifically for rebuilding in Altadena. These homes are already designed, engineered, and approved for fast-tracked development, giving displaced homeowners a more predictable and organized rebuilding path.
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 balances fire-resistant construction, everyday livability, and architectural character that fits Altadena’s foothill neighborhoods.
- SoCal Traditional: A familiar Southern California home style with balanced proportions, welcoming entries, and flexible floor plans for modern family living.
- Mediterranean Revival: A warm, timeless design with stucco finishes, graceful rooflines, and classic details inspired by historic Southern California architecture.

You can personalize your home with interior finish selections and optional ADU configurations, while still benefiting from guaranteed pricing. This helps you make meaningful design choices without turning the rebuild into an open-ended custom construction process.
