"Would give 6 stars if possible. The team at Operation Restoration went above and beyond to take care of our property during a crisis, and to guide us through what was an overwhelming situation. The team arrived onsite at 9am on New Years Eve after a call at 6pm the evening before. Every single detail was carefully taken care of, clearly communicated, recorded in email and we were given the opportunity to review every step of the cleanup and rebuild. Each team member we dealt with was a delight and went out of their way to take the time to answer our questions, respond to emails and stop by to make adjustments. Thoroughly recommend if you have an unexpected crisis!"

"We had significant flooding after the 3/20 storms in our finished basement. Phil and his crew were able to thoroughly clean and restore the basement to useable condition again. Always prompt, courteous, and professional. Hope I don't have to, but would definitely hire them again if we need them."

"The owner called me very quickly after I put in a request on Angi and emailed a detailed and very reasonable estimate that same evening. He texted me the next day to make sure I got the estimate and I was able to talk to him about the work that day. While I have decided to put off the work for a while, I would definitely consider using his company for the work as he has provided excellent customer service so far."

"We hired rising heights to complete a semi finished basement. They framed and placed dry wall, painted a ceiling, replaced a sliding door, repaired some exterior siding, and created new walls. There were some small minor electrical issues when working in the basement as well as an issue with a gas line. The owner mike was extremely responsive and immediately contact me when issues arose. When able to took care of the issues himself, however these two issues he recommended using a licenses electrician and plumber to handle. Because we were doing a much larger project for the whole house he had worked with these individuals. He was therefor able to work with them to ensure the safe completion of the project. Many companies we have worked with in the past try to cover up or fix themselves small mistakes that are made by employees. Rising heights is very honest and able to recommend the correct way to fix a problem. Rather than putting a band aid on an issue they work to ensure that something is fixed the right way."

"Adrian and his crew did a wonderful job on everything we hired them to help us with. They went above and beyond and always kept a clean work space. When they were finished at the end of the day, they would clean up and make the house usable for us. I really appreciated that about them. We have hired them for many things since, including the house cleaning services. Great company!"

The crew arrived quickly and took care of my issue from top to bottom. Thank you Nick and the rest of the crew at Affordapro, my home is back to normal!"

Earthquake Retrofitting FAQs

Most earthquake retrofitting jobs take one week to 10 business days to complete. However, your professional retrofitting expert will be able to give you a more accurate timeline for your home once you complete an initial consultation. The total time may be longer for projects requiring more extensive work or homes with structural damage due to a prior earthquake.

You can expect to pay between $3,370 and $8,610 in earthquake retrofit costs, ranging from $500 to $15,000 or more, depending on your type of home and foundation and retrofitting method. 

If you have a slab foundation, you can expect to pay on the lower end, between $500 and $3,000. If you have a wooden foundation, that cost jumps to $5,000 to $10,000. A hillside home, not as vulnerable to earthquake damage, typically costs between $5,000 to $10,000 to retrofit while a soft-story home ranges from $10,000 to $80,000.

It is not advisable to try to retrofit your home without the expertise of a professional. These projects usually require a consultation with a structural engineer and a plumber for any gas-related adjustments. Working with a professional earthquake retrofitting contractor is the best way to ensure that any structural work done to your home will help protect you and your family.

First, you can expect the project to be loud. If you have pets, you might want to take them to a friend's house during the day so they are not disturbed by any of the loud noises. In addition, you’ll need to provide the retrofit team access to areas of the house that will need to be worked on, meaning you’ll need to relocate personal items, clear clutter, and make pathways for the crew. Once the project is complete, a local building inspector will conduct a final inspection to ensure that the retrofitting is up to code.

Earthquake retrofitting can increase your home value, making it a great return on investment. This feature is especially valuable in areas prone to earthquakes. Besides the increased safety value (not only for your family but for the next family who moves in), earthquake retrofitting also helps lower homeowners insurance rates. In addition, having your home earthquake retrofitted can make it easier to get a home loan since they are considered lower risk.
