Seismic Retrofit Specialists

Earthquakes are inevitable — but severe damage isn’t.

Our seismic retrofits strengthen your home’s connection points, redistributing lateral loads to prevent collapse during seismic movement.

Typical upgrades include:

  • Foundation bolting and plate anchors

  • Shear wall and hold-down installation

  • Steel frame reinforcement

  • Post-to-beam connector installation

  • Lateral load distribution and tie-down systems

We ensure full compliance with Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) and California Building Code Chapter 16 (Seismic Design).

Foundation Repair & Reinforcement

Your foundation supports every structural component above it — even minor cracks can compromise integrity.

We handle:

  • Concrete and block foundation repairs

  • Structural underpinning for settling foundations

  • Drainage correction and waterproofing

  • Foundation replacement for older properties

Our approach stabilizes the soil-structure interface and prevents future settling or shifting.

Structural Upgrades for Safety & Value

Strengthening your home isn’t just about safety — it’s an investment in property value and insurance eligibility.

Homes with completed retrofits often qualify for lower earthquake insurance premiums and have higher resale appeal.
