"I reached out to Walt to install a dryer outlet. He got the job scheduled quickly and I was thrilled to get it done fast. I asked for a quote and was told one would be provided - but that didn't happen. Without providing a quote or calling me to explain anything, his team finished the job and then charged nearly $1,000. There was an additional outlet install but was not explained to us why it was necessary. Research from reputable online sources estimated the job to be between $150-300, depending on the length of copper wire ($300 for 30 ft of wire). When I called Walt to ask why the work was carried out without a quote, or if it was common practice to charge people $1,000 without giving them a heads up, he began to berate me and literally SCREAM at me, telling me what I read online was "not real". I repeatedly asked for him not to yell at me and asked if this was his common business practice - to which he got more angry and demanded I pay him immediately (when I asked how he would like to be paid). I would seriously advise AGAINST using Walt / Meyer and will be spreading my experience to help others avoid them same mistake."

"This man stole thousands of dollars from us. We fired him 6 months in to what was supposed to be a 4-6 week job after only doing a fraction of the work...all done out of order with constant delays. The owner Mr Borman, is a dishonest and incompetent con who won’t return our money. He has devalued our property and brought great hardship."

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A home with proper earthquake retrofitting can sustain minimal damage in earthquakes of up to 7.0 magnitude, although risks are higher based on how close and deep the earthquake is. A home closer to the earthquake epicenter will sustain greater damage, especially if the earthquake is closer to the surface of the Earth, but retrofitting can help minimize the risk of injuries.

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.

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