Apples to Apples LLC (A2A) is a project design and consulting firm that provides home owners professional yet affordable tools to plan, comparatively bid and manage large home improvement projects. At the core of our services is the concept of Comparative Shopping (bidding)…which is all about gathering the necessary information that makes good buying choices possible. A2A considers Angie’s List to be a great resource for home owners, especially in qualifying contractors. However, the real devil (and dollars) are in the details. Having great contractors is a good start, but having the right details, materials and comparative bid form for these companies is ESSENTIAL to taking control of your upcoming work. Competitive bidding is a great tool for maximizing value, when done correctly. If done inconsistently or by allowing contractors to define the rules and project scope, the Owner has no way of knowing where the best value lies. Anyone who has considered such large purchases understands the time and energy it takes to "get it right". Check us out at www.myprojectbid.com to learn more.

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

Hearing or feeling vibrations in your house can be unsettling, but there are a few possible causes for a vibrating noise in your wall or floor. Light bulbs and fixtures, circuit breakers, loose pipes, or faulty wiring could all cause vibrations. If you’re not sure what’s causing the vibrations, you can call a contractor to assess your home and narrow down the cause.

Almost all new buildings in California need an earthquake shut-off valve. The requirements for an earthquake gas shut-off valve (and who can install it) depend on where you live. For example, according to the Los Angeles Municipal Code, you’re required to hire a licensed contractor to install one whenever you build, sell, or renovate a home. Check with your local building department for your city’s laws on installing, permitting, and inspecting earthquake shut-off valves.

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 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.

Ensure proper ventilation, fix leaks, and schedule regular pest inspections to protect your property.
