The personnel at PRO Construction, LLC bring with them over 25 years of experience to serve you with prompt and efficient service. Once we receive a call from you, our contact is prompt in order to schedule a meeting or an inspection of damages. We know the importance of prompt contact with the homeowner as well as the type of service insured’s need after a loss, and we can provide it. By making prompt contact your insured’s will be pleased and you will have “peace of mind” in the knowledge that they are being handled properly. We understand how a delay in contact will generate multiple calls from the insured...to you requesting status. With PRO Construction, this does not happen. In addition to insurance work, we also remodel commercial and private residences for Architects as well as individuals, for existing structures. We can handle any size remodeling project from the large corporation to the homeowner. These jobs are well supervised and operated in an efficient and professional manner. We have the latest technology to prepare estimates and estimators that have been in the business for years working with insurance companies and property owners in order to reach a correct estimate. We encourage insurers to have inspectors review our work for adequacy and accuracy at the company headquarters. We can supply references, if requested, but there is nothing that can take the place of knowing the quality and efficiency of PRO Construction, LLC once you have given us the privilege of providing service to you and your insured.

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

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.

A home with proper earthquake retrofitting can sustain minimal damage in earthquakes of up to 7.0 magnitude, although risks are higher based on how close and deep the earthquake is. A home closer to the earthquake epicenter will sustain greater damage, especially if the earthquake is closer to the surface of the Earth, but retrofitting can help minimize the risk of injuries.

Grounding is a great first step to prevent electrical shock, but you can take it further with GFCI outlets and AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters). In particular, AFCIs help protect against the type of electrical arcs that cause fires, like if a mouse chews on a wire or your laptop starts overheating at the wall. These are required in some areas of your home.

Ensure proper ventilation, fix leaks, and schedule regular pest inspections to protect your property.

Almost all new buildings in California need an earthquake shut-off valve. The requirements for an earthquake gas shut-off valve (and who can install it) depend on where you live. For example, according to the Los Angeles Municipal Code, you’re required to hire a licensed contractor to install one whenever you build, sell, or renovate a home. Check with your local building department for your city’s laws on installing, permitting, and inspecting earthquake shut-off valves.
