"Excellent experience again with Alpha Structural. Charlie Rosenkranz came to see the 3-story apartment building in West Hollywood. We discussed what the soft story retrofit plans will likely include. He's knowledgeable and experienced. We appreciated his professional no-pressure approach and answering our questions. Alpha performed an exploratory investigation of the support structure, as architectural plans were not available. They engineered the plans with city approval. They then consulted with us and provided the approved THP (Tenant Habitability Plan) paperwork. Production Manager Dave Schlaich and Job Supervisor Seth Price met me before construction. Dave went over the approved plans and explained the work that would be performed, and the purpose. They both answered all my questions. Lawrence and Antonio were the main work team. They were very pleasant and answered all our questions. Both had great explanations with Lawrence being very detailed. Seth provided timely progress reports by phone and text. He answered all questions, and provided contacts for automatic shut-off gas valves and stucco work. Despite Covid-19, they scheduled and passed inspections, and completed the work in under a month. We've seen projects by other companies stuck in limbo for months with no progress, so we chose Alpha to avoid complications. They removed all debris, and left the property clean. The tenants and neighbors had no complaints. Daniel Aparicio also explained various issues. Communication with everyone, including the office staff, was excellent. We're very pleased with this experience."

"I hired Beginnings Engineering for a structural project on my 45-year-old home and worked with Jonathon Sipe and Nada. I spoke with several other firms in Orange County first. Most of the alternative proposals leaned toward complicated, expensive “perfect” solutions that might make sense on a new build, but didn’t feel grounded in the reality of an older home. Jonathon took a different approach: he listened to what I was trying to accomplish, worked through the constraints with me, and came back with a solution that made sense in the real world—while still being safe and code-compliant. On top of that, the experience was just… easy. Communication was straightforward, follow-through was solid, and they were genuinely friendly people to deal with. They weren’t the lowest engineering quote, but they were the lowest-cost path overall because their design avoided the unnecessary construction scope other firms recommended."

"We have been working with Sam on our home project to take down a load bearing wall and we are pleased with his work. I liked that he enjoyed small projects and the city engineer approved the plans the first time they were submitted. He also has come by to inspect the work our contractor has performed and advised the corrections that needed to be made so our home would be structurally sound. I highly recommend."

"Eran quickly responded to my inquiry regarding a load bearing structure of my home. He sent his structural engineer to determine if the structure was a load bearing problem. The engineer was able to determine 100% that it was not a load bearing structure. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs structural engineering solutions."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Combining structural engineering with other upgrades in Long Beach can minimize disruptions and streamline your project. Coordinating seismic retrofitting with foundation repairs or major remodels allows you to consolidate permit applications and inspections. This approach often leads to better scheduling, fewer construction delays, and improved overall project efficiency, making it easier to manage home improvements in a busy coastal city.

Helpful?

In Long Beach, structural engineering maintenance should include routine seismic retrofitting checks, monitoring for foundation settlement, and inspecting steel for corrosion from salt air. After any earthquake, schedule a structural evaluation to catch hidden damage early. It’s also smart to look for moisture intrusion in concrete and have soft-story buildings reviewed regularly, as local conditions can accelerate wear and compromise safety.

Helpful?

Be cautious of quotes in Long Beach that overlook seismic or soil factors, lack detail about retrofit needs, or provide vague project scopes. Unusually low estimates, requests for large upfront payments, or missing proof of insurance are warning signs. A reputable professional will outline clear timelines, address local permit and inspection requirements, and provide transparent communication before starting any work.

Helpful?

When hiring in Long Beach, prioritize professionals with proven experience in seismic design and coastal construction. Look for familiarity with local soil types and retrofit requirements. Ask about recent projects in the area and verify insurance coverage. Strong communication skills and a history of successful work on similar homes in coastal CA are also important for a smooth, reliable project.

Helpful?

For Long Beach projects, choose materials designed for seismic resilience and coastal durability. Engineered lumber, high-strength concrete, and corrosion-resistant hardware are essential to withstand earthquakes and salt air. Using epoxy-coated rebar and marine-grade concrete additives helps protect structures exposed to the marine environment, while stainless steel fasteners offer extra defense against rust and long-term deterioration.
