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

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.

Some cities or states may require you to have an earthquake gas shut-off valve. Your insurance provider may also have requirements for installing this valve. Even if you don’t have to have one by law, it’s wise to have a natural gas plumber install one anyway. These devices can be lifesaving and prevent fires or explosions in the event of a gas leak.

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.

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

Costs vary as much as timelines. The average earthquake retrofit costs between $3,500 and $8,700. However, homes on hillsides, large homes, and those with rooms over garages can cost up to $12,000 or more. Make sure to get a few estimates to compare the cost and services.
