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

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.

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.

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.

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.
