"Dustin and his crew are amazing. Couldn't be more happy with the remodel. Out of the 4 contractors I contacted to give me quotes, 2 never returned my call, 1 came out and looked at the job but never sent a quote. Dustin came out and had a quote to us within days and the quote was very reasonable and started the project as soon as I let them know we were ready to begin. I will definitely use them again when it's time for the kitchen remodel. Kay S."

In 1982, Dave Bolduan, a licensed general contractor, formed Pacific Construction. Starting with just one employee, he began remodeling and building custom homes. Over time, the company’s reputation for quality, integrity and fair practices drew clients, many of whom became repeat customers. In 2004, the company incorporated and the business name was changed to Pacific Builders of SLO, Inc. We rely on a network of subcontractors that we know and trust.

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

Costs vary as much as timelines. The average earthquake retrofit costs between $3,500 and $8,700. However, homes on hillsides, large homes, and those with rooms over garages can cost up to $12,000 or more. Make sure to get a few estimates to compare the cost and services.

An earthquake retrofit is essential for safety in an earthquake-prone area. Without proper retrofitting, your home is at risk of sliding off the foundation, shifting, or collapsing.

You may also require a retrofit if your home was built before 1980 when building codes began requiring reinforcing, bracing, and bolting for new construction. You may not be eligible for insurance to help pay for earthquake-related damages without a retrofit.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

Earthquake gas shut-off valves, or seismic gas shut-off valves, are safety devices that attach to your natural gas line. When an earthquake hits, the valve automatically turns off the flow of gas. Earthquake gas shut-off valves can prevent gas leaks, which are especially dangerous after a quake due to the risk of fire and explosion.

Even if you invested in the cost of a gas shut-off valve for your oven and other appliances, it’s a good idea to add a seismic shut-off valve as an extra safety measure. 

Gas shut-off valves for appliances are manual, meaning someone has to cut off the flow of gas. This leaves room for error, as you might not be home or might be too distracted to think about gas lines during an earthquake. An earthquake valve is automatic and will protect your home from gas-related disasters in the event of an earthquake.
