If You Are Looking to Rebuild in Altadena
Genesis Builders helps displaced Altadena homeowners who are currently staying in Willowbrook plan, permit, and rebuild their homes back in Altadena. Many families who lost their Altadena homes in the Eaton Fires relocated temporarily to places like Willowbrook, including rentals, extended-stay hotels, and homes of relatives, while they wait for a clear path home.
Genesis Builders builds homes only in Altadena. Willowbrook is where some Altadena families are living during displacement. The home we help you rebuild is your Altadena home, on your Altadena lot.
Our turnkey rebuilding program is designed to reduce the number of separate decisions, vendors, and handoffs homeowners have to manage after a catastrophic loss. With Genesis Builders, one trusted team oversees the full process, so you are not left coordinating architects, engineers, surveyors, permit expediters, lenders, insurance contacts, and contractors separately while living away from home.
We provide a complete rebuild pathway that includes financing options through preferred lenders, help reviewing your insurance policy to understand what may be covered for rebuilding, pre-approved home plans to choose from, fixed pricing, a set schedule, full-service construction management, and a 2-10 year home warranty.
Our pre-approved Altadena home designs also give you a head start. Instead of beginning from a blank page while you are temporarily based in Willowbrook, you can choose from plans already created for Altadena rebuilding conditions and move forward with greater clarity on cost, timeline, and next steps.
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. For families staying in Willowbrook after the Eaton Fires, this means your rebuild plan can focus on returning to Altadena with a stronger, more resilient home.
The Eaton Fires showed how destructive ember intrusion can be. Wind-driven embers can enter vents, collect near fences or decks, ignite vulnerable exterior materials, and threaten homes even when flames are not directly touching the structure. Our Altadena rebuilds are designed with that reality in mind.
- California HCD Chapter 7A requirements: Establishes wildfire-resistant construction standards for homes in fire hazard areas, including requirements for exterior walls, vents, roofing, eaves, and other vulnerable building components.
- Altadena Community Standards District requirements: Provides local design and development standards that guide how homes in Altadena should be planned, permitted, and built within the community context.
- Los Angeles County Residential Design Standards Ordinance: Sets residential design expectations for scale, site planning, architectural quality, and neighborhood compatibility in applicable Los Angeles County communities, including Altadena.
- IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home Technical Standard requirements: Provides a comprehensive wildfire resilience framework focused on ember resistance, defensible space, material selection, attachments, and ongoing home hardening strategies.
Building to code is the floor, not the ceiling. The 2025 CBC Chapter 7A only partially addresses or does not address several important wildfire risk areas, including fences, retaining walls, exterior glass, decks, and ADUs. Genesis Builders closes those gaps in the Altadena homes we build by following the full IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard.
That higher standard helps create a more complete fire-resistant rebuild and may also support improved insurability. While insurance decisions are made by carriers, a home built to recognized wildfire preparedness standards can give homeowners stronger documentation when discussing coverage options after returning from temporary housing in Willowbrook to Altadena.
