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. We have developed a good working relationship with them over time by treating them fairly and making sure that they are paid in a timely manner. Pacific Builders of SLO also maintains a crew of well trained and courteous employees who are competent in all phases of construction and have the knowledge and experience to resolve difficult design challenges. Our company is committed to minimizing our impact on the environment. We maintain recycling programs in both the office and the field. Care is always taken to keep construction debris and run-off from reaching any creeks or city drainage. Whenever feasible, we utilize sustainable or environmentally sound building practices. We work closely with our employees and subcontractors to keep our job site clean and safe. During the many years that we have been building, we have never had a serious injury. The safety of home owners, subcontractors, and employees is a point on which we never compromise.

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

Generally, the retrofitting process can take two to four weeks. Your contractor will let you know if staying in your home for the entire project is feasible. However, most people are able to remain at home. If your home is undergoing earthquake rehab, it's more likely that you'll need to leave until work is complete. Your earthquake insurance may cover boarding costs if your home is deemed unsafe.

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.

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.

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.
