"I had an excellent experience with One Stop Restoration in remediating flood damage to my finished basement and restoring it to its original condition. From start to finish, I felt I was in caring and experienced hands – it was clear that everyone engaged on my project was passionate about fairness, timeliness, quality, and superior customer service. They came to assess the situation the same day that I discovered the issue and called them, and within three days furniture and other contents had been evaluated and moved out and the remediation work was completed (special thanks to Leigh and Brody for making that happen). One Stop’s fast action preserved my belongings and mitigated the water damage to the furthest extent possible. When the time came for the restoration work to begin, I decided to continue with One Stop and am very glad that I did, as the end result is beautiful and exactly as I had desired. The crews and various contractors that One Stop employed were seasoned craftspeople who arrived on time, did efficient and excellent work, and maintained a clean worksite. Omer, the owner, made himself accessible whenever needed – he was incredibly responsive to questions and requests and helpful in explaining the process so I knew what to expect. And Nir, who managed my restoration project, was incredible – I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in navigating that process. A true pleasure to work with, he took care to listen to and understand my needs and concerns and did his utmost to deliver the highest quality service in as timely and cost conscious a manner as possible. Collectively, the team at One Stop made a very difficult situation as stress-free as possible. I have seen them refer to themselves online as “saviors in your time of need,” and I can certainly attest to that in my case. As the result of my experience, I trust and recommend them highly. While I hope that I don’t have a property damage situation like this again, if I do they will be my first call!"

2018 Super Service Award Winner in Roofing, Painting Exterior, Gutters, Drywall, Decks/Porches and Carpentry Unfinished! There are many construction companies out there that will only help you solve half or less of your project needs, meaning you need to use more than one company to get what you want done. One company will install a roof system, but won't do the soffit work, or one will install Hardiplank siding but won't paint it. At Housworth, we are one company with expertise in many areas of construction. We won't leave any project half done. Housworth was established in 1929 by Gladis Housworth. It was known as the Housworth Plumbing Company up until the time it was taken over by Jack Patrick. It then became Housworth Construction. It is now managed by Laila Patrick the current CEO. We have been under Laila Patrick's leadership for the past 12yrs. Locally owned & operated. Additional contact name - 2018 Super Service Award Winner in Roofing, Painting Exterior, Gutters,& Drywall.

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

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.

Depending on where you live, your insurance company may require you to have a seismic shut-off valve. It depends on local regulations along with the specific provider. If it’s not a requirement, many providers will offer a discount if you install an earthquake valve, which can save you 5% or more. Contact your provider to learn about potential savings for your plan.

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.

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.

Many homeowners want to know whether earthquake retrofitting is tax deductible. Because it’s often considered a capital improvement, you usually can’t deduct it. In some cases and locations, you may qualify for tax incentives, but you’ll need to talk to a tax professional or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about your specific circumstances. You may also be able to find grant money for seismic upgrades, which can lower the cost of your insurance premiums and save money over time.
