"I worked with Alpha once before, and they assisted with a second project 2 years ago which, now finally completed, I'm able to write a review about. Alpha helped with structural plans for windows in a garden level unit in order to prepare the proposal for city approval. Alpha is a big company and it took them a little while to complete everything; however I can certainly say that the engineer and contact people were knowledgeable and thorough. The plans were approved with their help and now that the unit is permitted for occupancy, the windows are a lovely attribute to the space."

Angel Construction is a trustworthy and hardworking company started by Luis Angel and his father Juan who have been working in this field for many years. Striving to deliver excellent services with the best pricing available, Angel Construction is your solution to home foundation needs and other repairs.

"Hired Luis for a complete foundation replacement for a home on a hill in Angelino Heights. Luis was very easy to work with from coordinating plans/permits, keeping to schedule, and scope changes along the way (LA City was a PITA). Luis was easy to talk to and his pricing was the best out of 5+ bids we got. Work involved replacing the entire footing/foundation, leveling interior floors, adding a few posts and support beams under the raised foundation, and replacing front patio cement area. Luis was always looking out for our bottom line and very efficient. Normally the type of foundation replacement we did requires multiple inspector visits but Luis knew the process well and only required one inspection after work was done, saving us a lot of money. Change orders were always handled professionally and very fair to both sides. Everything turned out great (I'm writing this review a year later). I highly recommend Angel Construction and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

Our company mission at Professional Foundation Repair is to provide a complete and satisfactory service to all of our clients. We strive to build personal relationships with each of our customers, working with you and not just for you. Safety is always our priority and we continuously work to meet and exceed all regulated safety standards, and our work truly stands the test of time. We specialize in the repair of raised or slab foundations in addition to earthquake retrofitting and also have our own patented concentric pier model, the Wells Concentric Pier, a superior anchor for your foundation. We offer free inspections to homeowners looking to sell or potential homebuyers. We also are opening our new office in Riverside. Call today!

"We hired Professional Foundation Repairs (Ozzy and Darin) during our home purchase after they identified foundation/leveling issues. After the work was completed the leveling showed little improvement and they told us the contract ?wasn?t specific enough.? Four years later three different foundation companies inspected the house and found multiple areas where the previous repairs are failing and large visible sections (including the entire front of the house) were never brought up to code or properly retrofitted. I contacted Ozzy and was initially told Darin would cover the corrective work (there are text messages confirming this), but the company then stopped returning calls and messages. Darin (the owner) has not returned my calls. I have inspection reports, photos of the deteriorated repairs, and our text messages documenting their agreement. Their advertised 10-year warranty proved meaningless in practice. Bottom line: poor workmanship, broken promises, and no aftercare. I canno"

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
