"It was a pleasure to work with Eric, we hired him for a complete backyard renovation which included tree removal, leveling the surface and place pavers and a deck on top. Also built a retaining wall. The work came out very nice in part because of the great design ideas that Eric gave us. The project ran into some unexpected issues that Eric was able to overcome nicely. We were impressed how Eric handled the project and met all the deliverables, also his team was extremely polite an professional. Our backyard now looks like the ones advertised in magazines. All this led us to start a new project with him to replace the cracked driveway with nice new pavers."

Some People Say We’re obsessive, compulsive. Maybe even a little Fanatical. Honestly, we don’t know how to do the job any other way…You only remodel your kitchen or bathroom, what—every 10 or 15 years or so? Why on earth, then, would you settle for anything less than EXACTLY what you want? I know I sure as heck wouldn’t. I understand what a big deal it is to you to get everything perfect! Few contractors in the Bay area have produced the quality of work at reasonable prices that’s allowed us to thrive for decades like we have. Most of them do good work, but they don’t live up to the very highest workmanship standards that would establish them at the pinnacle of the home remodeling pyramid. If you haven’t lived and breathed home remodeling for two decades it can be difficult to immediately recognize exceptional quality from a job that’s considered “good enough.” When we look at a project, we instantly recognize the exactness of the corners, or the grade of the hinges and screws. We measure the straightness of the lines, and the quality of the finish. 
After decades spent in residential building and remodeling, we know that home remodeling is as much as an art as a science - and believe that's what sets Castle Rock Construction apart.

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

Projects will vary based on size and scope, but an average earthquake retrofit takes between two weeks and two months. This includes the initial evaluation and plan, bidding and contract paperwork, permitting and approval process, actual work, and final inspection. Your contractor should give you a more accurate time estimate for your specific project, and they may be able to estimate how long the permitting process will take for your area.
